It’s a great program, just overkill for me haha. All I want is breaking news. All the other fluff I don’t use since it’s not necessary. I do like how I can filter out what kind of news I see though. That allows me to niche down on exactly what I want to jump into. Will see how I feel after two weeks. So far, I am leaning towards this software over my other software. Which continues to give me delayed news. Even if it’s 15 seconds later, it’s still delayed. Most of the time I won’t receive news from my software until a minute or more or the guy doesn’t even post the news. Really frustrating to see a move happen without me. So far Banzinga gives me news right away. At least 99% of the news I am interested in, so a win for me.
James was really helping. I was contacting him through email and he sent his personal phone number. Otherwise, calling Benzinga is not what you would recommend to other customers, as that service is extremely poor. Better stop publishing that number...
not at all user friendly platform. i linked my broker account but dont see my portfolio anywhere

Info regularly contradicts itself
Info regularly contradicts itself. It is difficult to trust what Benzinga posts. For example, the first 2 statements in the Earnings Estimates shown below..
Target Q2 Preview: Can Digital Growth, Store Visits Recovery Overshadow Tariffs, Competition?
Benzinga 2025-08-19T12:49:00-04:00
Retailer Target Corporation (TGT.NaE) could show a recovery in store visits during the second quarter when the company reports quarterly financial results on Wednesday before market open.
Here are the earnings estimates, what analysts are saying ahead of the results and key items to watch.
See what TGT is doing now.
Earnings Estimates
Analysts expect Target (TGT.NaE) to report second-quarter revenue of $24.93 billion, down from $25.45 billion in last year's second quarter, according to data from Benzinga Pro.
The company missed analyst estimates in the first quarter, but has beaten estimates in six of the past 10 quarters overall.
Analysts expect Target (TGT.NaE) to report earnings per share of $2.05, down from $2.57 in last year's second quarter. The company missed analyst estimates in the last quarter, but has beaten estimates in seven of the past 10 quarters overall.
I'm sure it's a great platform, but I've been overwhelmed by the amount of information, tabs, and options it offers. I've only looked at it for maybe two days during my trial period, but I find it too complex and will now check my Finviz subscription. It really exhausts me to think about the time I have to implement and the learning curve.
They gave me a decent deal but didn't reset my trial and left me without squawk.

You do not respond to your customers,
You do not respond to your customers,
Mr Ricky responded to my first email, and after that, I didn't receive any answer to my request. Also, you never answer the phone and never return calls.
What kind of company are you if you do not support your customers?

iI had a large BINZINGA pro chare on my credit card which really concerned me.
Fortunately they quickly reveresed the charge. I'm impressed how easy it was have my issue resolved.
It made sense since they were strongly recommended to me by a very good friend who is also a very successful options trader.
Honestly after searching was the most reliable data out there if you could say there is reliable data to trade on lol. The group of people are the most valuable how they relate to successful trading so well managed no spam or pumpers or if so they are gone hats off to this group.
I like the product but some features are not working and it appears they do not have customer support. I'll keep trying to get customer support for a few more days. I will ask for a refund if I can't get any help

Too many issues unresolved
Started the 14-day trial with high hopes. The potential is there, but the execution is lousy.
Imported brokerage accounts, but critical data, like the quantity of shares, was omitted in the transfer. The support folks were slow to respond, and no resolution was provided. The Sqawk feature didn't work; some items listed in the getting started tutorial were no longer available or were now only available for an additional fee. I was told by "support" that the tutorials need updating.
There's more, but suffice to say, this platform needs a significant amount of work to be ready for a Pro-level Stock Scanner and Real-Time Market News Platform.
A simple easy to work system? All i get is the need to upgrade and tutorials that give you a headache

This is THE worst company
This is THE worst company. No one picks up the phone. Ricky, who I hope is an unpaid intern because he's useless and heads the chat, I think is on his 3rd lunch because I've been trying to have a 5 minute conversation which has turned into 53 minutes because he keeps going in yellow. Total waste of time. Long & short, I signed up for their news alerts. I'm into day two using the program. One stock had a ton of news; no alerts from Benzinga. Refused a refund. Now I have to deal to deal with the credit card company to try and get a refund.

Not satisfied at all.
Can‘t receive Alerts although everything is configured correctly and Email is confirmed. Support started to help but did not get back to me after the advice wasn’t t helpful. Too many kind of aggressive Mails to buy more subscriptions. Too many different types of subscriptions.
