Pros

Pros

“The ability to build custom universes, apply sophisticated screening criteria, and generate branded outputs is a major plus for asset managers and institutional users.”

Willem R.

Partner

“It allows me to analyze performance, risk, and attribution using a single, reliable framework, which is critical when reporting on South African portfolios with offshore exposure.”

Clementine K.

Investment Performance Analyst

“The platform can feel laggy at times, particularly when running more complex screens or loading certain data-heavy modules. While the existing analytics are solid, I’d like to see more advanced analytical and visualisation capabilities—especially features similar to Style Research’s graphing and factor‑based analysis tools.”

Cons

Cons

“Installing the application and Excel add-in, managing permissions, and navigating different Morningstar products and licensing structures can create unnecessary friction.”

Gabriel G.

Senior Analyst

“Moreover, there are cases where data differs between Morningstar Direct and the web‑based Morningstar platform, which can create confusion for clients and requires extra effort to explain and reconcile these discrepancies.”

Zuzanna R.

Lead Digital Producer

“Far too many data points is overloading the system, instability of the system, instability of reports- missing data, slow reaction time to correct mistakes, very US centric on market reports.”
