D&B credit insights are well-suited to providing scores, ratings, and operational aspects for a company. However, they need to update the company's data quickly. Without properly updated information in a timely manner, it will be harder to know how accurate the companies we review are with their financial data.

We had Capital IQ in addition to Bloomberg. It was much easier for a new person to use Capital IQ than Bloomberg. The ease of use was a huge selling point for us. Yahoo finance on the other hand is free, but you cannot gather all the data you may need in one location like you can in Capital IQ.
