OptionMetrics

“I value the range of equity and index options, futures, underlying prices, and volatility-surface information available to us. When we have questions about data or encounter a delay, I have found support responsive. I do see occasional SLA delays, but they have not outweighed the breadth of the offering for our work, and I regard the coverage as a meaningful strength compared with the alternatives we considered.”

“I use the historical options information and implied-volatility surfaces to build pricing assumptions and test strategies across different market conditions. Consistency over time increases my confidence in comparing model outputs and backtest results. I also value the cleaning and corporate-action treatment because those details matter to the reliability of quantitative research and risk analysis.”

“I rely on the long, consistent history and well-documented analytics to support backtesting and model-risk discussions. The dataset was straightforward to integrate with our internal tools, and its standing in institutional and academic settings helped our governance review reach a clear decision. For our research-heavy environment, those qualities make the historical data dependable and defensible rather than merely broad in scope.”
