    It is just my go-to for any information I need on a potential client as I work in the non-profit consulting space and need to better understand my prospects. As a former nonprofit exec, I valued what we could share on the site as a gold seal for others to learn about our worthiness to invest.

    Overall, the program can assist any size company with all credit
    reference needs. We have not run into any issues other than the overall
    cost of the program and the fact that you have to use additional funds
    to seek information on international customers.

    • in my opinion having to split usage between United States and International does not make sense on why this needs to be done....recommend eliminating this
    • need for improvement on error resolution....when an error is found the D&B resolution team is EXTREMELY difficult to work with...very clunky and automated when there is a need for personnal interaction

    For more advanced uses, it's hard to get it functioning properly right out of the box. It definitely takes some fiddling to get the systems up and running, especially if you have multiple streams of data that need to be managed across systems.

    I have always used Guidestar as my go-to not only when I was a non-profit executive and wanted to ensure we remained worthy of their rating but also now as a non-profit consultant where I need to understand my current and potential partners across financials, key contacts, board members, etc.

    Not at the top, but pretty good compared to others. The price and overall usability of the solution would put it in the top 5 options from what I have used. If D&B can make more updates and improvements, then there is potential to be better in the near future.

    • ROI can be achieved anywhere between 6 to 12 months depending upon your business.
    • The product is expensive but the data provided is good to an extent and a big sale can help achieve your ROI.
    • The data accuracy sometimes can be bad leading to bad domain reputation.
