Valuation Tools

Hi all, I'm interested in your experience with different tools used for valuation.

Back when I worked in finance (a long time ago), we would use tools such as FactSet, CapitalIQ etc. to screen for comparable transactions and transaction multiples.

Wondering if there are any tools today that folks find particularly helpful, especially for small business valuations.

Beware. Most tools are deficient.
