Bloomberg Terminal vs. D&B Credit Insights

Well-suited as a monitoring tool for market prices, economic indicators, and news. Less appropriate for fundamental research and analysis. Other tools, such as AlphaSense and Visible Alpha, are better/more user-friendly for research usage or manipulation of financial statements, either because the platform itself is easier to use or because the Excel add-in function is simpler, less confusing.

D&B Credit Insights allows an organization to improve their credit score. It is great for companies who already have established credit terms but may not have kept up with improving their D&B scores. Small companies may find D&B Credit Insights challenging because it requires established credit relationships with vendors. It can be challenging to have D&B approve your documentation as a small business.

The usability is good but could be better in my opinion. Once you login, the dashboard is great to quickly view things but they could have a better login experience. Overall, I think the usability is fine though as they provide a bunch of information that you can view quickly and easily.

While there are a lot of competitive services in the marketplace, each good in its own right, the Bloomberg Terminal is considered the top product. It has key fast information and can help individuals make fast decisions. It also has a top-tier support desk that can answer questions for you and teach you functionality to apply to your role

I would say that D&B Credit Insights in comparable to Equifax Credit Risk and Experian Credit Risk. There is very little that set each apart as all provide vague information related to the credit of your business. All of them lack any specific recommendations for a business owner to improve their business credit standing.

• Being able to secure favorable terms for business financing has a huge impact on my business. Before building my business credit I had to rely solely on my personal credit and provide a personal guarantee. Now my business is separate and has its own business scores.
• Previously I had to utlize MCA loans and other short term, high interest loans, where now I can qualify for much more favorable terms, lower interest rates, and business credit cards with better perks.
