I just switched from Vanguard to Fidelity. I manage my own investments, so my criticism of Vanguard was with their IT system.
I feel like Fidelity has a more robust research platform and is easier to use. Vanguard has been on a cost cutting push for the past few years and it looks like their computer system has taken a large part of the brunt of that push with some much needed upgrades delayed. For me, it wasn't any one issue, event or feature that pushed me to Fidelity but there was enough little things.
I have no thoughts on the advisor side of things except from watching Merrill Lynch manage my mother's investments...the 1% they are taking for their "services" are criminal. Stay away from them!
