I have always loved Morningstar Online and have used it myself at Patch-Med. Analyst reports are easy to understand and the screeners (enabling you to find funds or stocks that meet your criteria for risk/earnings/etc.) are wonderful. However, when my library subscribed to it, I was really surprised that our patrons never used it. Our investors seem to favor print resources and/or are finding adequate information online, maybe through Yahoo. I appreciate this database, but am not sure it is an essential purchase.
