Macrobond is great if you want macro data. It's that simple. I do not get why you would use anything else for day-to-day macro analysis. The app is easy to use, too.

The interface and that the software has a lot of data. Also integration to Bloomberg and Excel.

The user interface of Macrobond is so easy and intuitive to use. With a few clicks, you can find the data you need, modify it, and create charts and tables. On the very infrequent occasions that something doesn’t work, or there are some errors in the data, a message to the support team gets it quickly corrected.

Data volume, refreshing data in real-time, graph illustrations, some econometric methods, customer support, ease of integration.

One-click refresh makes updating regular reports easy. Also love the embedding functionality in Excel and PowerPoint, saved me a lot of time.

The user-friendly interface is highly appreciated, making it incredibly intuitive to navigate. Additionally, the tool offers excellent capabilities for creating charts quickly and efficiently, which is a standout feature for users who prioritize speed and productivity. Great customer support.

As a daily user of Macrobond, I find its core feature, “the auto-updated graphs,” to be incredibly valuable. The ability to create a relevant diagram and then watch it update automatically every day, month, quarter, or year is simply fantastic and saves a tremendous amount of time.

[Now I have the] ability to spend more of my time communicating my research, rather than running the numbers on my research… to spend more time with my children, as I no longer need to work late nights collecting data and running regressions, getting rid of insignificant variables or the lags of the variables. I didn’t need to see Excel ever again.

Ease of use, depth of data, ability to discover new data, the efficiency it creates in my life. Every person I have interacted with from there has been helpful and kind. I have worked in my field for 20 years and this is perhaps the best tool I’ve used in that whole time.

Anyone who had the misfortune of having to update Excel charts understands how much of a time saver Macrobond is. Data updates automatically flow through and the ease of sharing is a huge improvement for cross-team compatibility. The customer support is also fantastic.

The integration with Powerpoint and Excel has made refreshing client pitch decks a matter of minutes rather than hours. The help desk is great too – adding new data sources when we make requests within a few days, making less need for webscraping on our side.

Quick and easy to create simple visualisations, good detailed database. Integration with Powerpoint, Excel, and Bloomberg are very useful – I tend to use it every day. Easy to reformat and share charts in different ways.James Wilson, CFA

What I like most is the concept of creating a chart and having it update itself each time. It is a very useful time saver and relatively easy to learn.

Macrobond underpins the work we do within our outsourced CIO business. Helping us to make investment decisions as well as clearly articulate to our clients what we are doing and why.
