I used this last year when researching some data for a research project. I found it to be very good - its like Amadeus or similar systems, however CapIQ is nice in that it allows you to drill down into the financial statements by clicking on individual measures, so you can see exactly how they have arrived at their figures, which saves you having to reverse engineer the numbers when you're trying to reproduce.
