Chose D&B Finance Analytics
DNB is a bit more expensive than Credit Safe but is more robust, easier to organize, and has a better database (cleaner and more robust). It does not have KYC/Compliance so are using a different provider for that.

Cap IQ is well suited for analyzing security pricing and valuation, tracking stock performance over time, looking up comparable transactions, and analyzing valuations on an industry basis. The service is also well suited for charting and data analysis purposes.

D&B provides insight into the viability of a customer who is looking for open terms and large orders on credit. It helps us determine the risk when lending to customers with whom we don't have much history. It's also helpful to see what types of liens/lawsuits they have pending at a given time.

  • Custom Scores
  • Finding Companies through Search or Advanced Search. It's got an easy search bar. And then for example, we have companies all over the world that come to us. And so we can just choose the country, for example, and then write the name in there and it'll bring up a lot of different companies that maybe are exactly that name or close to that name. And when we see what we believe to be the actual company, we can click on it and then know whether they are credit worthy.
  • Great UX on the website - fast and easy to use. The speed with which it operates is really terrific and very important for us because we usually have to make that decision right away.
  • Using something as objective as a numerical score simplifies decisions about offering credit. We have to make a decision usually on whether to offer credit to an advertiser quickly. So what's wonderful about the process is that we don't have to be searching around on Google or any kind of review site and then try to discern whether they're credit worthy. We simply open up the D&B Finance Analytics tool.

Cons
S&P Global Inc.
  • The scope and depth of the collected data can be increased.
  • The UI with little icons and buttons may be difficult at first but may become intuitive. The UI isn't horrible but might be better.
  • Global data coverage, but US and UK markets have the greatest details. MENA and APAC lack.

  • Updates on smaller firms are often spotty, and often we're notified or find out about substantial changes (e.g., location, management, et al., well before these turn up in their report.
  • It would be nice to have forms automatically submitted when the return key is used; this is a nice shortcut instead of mousing over to the Submit button, and was present in earlier iterations.
  • The ability to tailor automatic sign-outs. Often I'm working on a specific customer, and I go back to start another a few minutes later, and find myself logged out. Automatic sign-outs were for a longer time span previously.

D&B Finance Analytics reports have just about everything. You can see a full company profile including legal forms, history records, employee count, years in business, paydex scores, delinquency scores, viability ratings, state of incorporations, naics codes, CEO or business owner names, etc. There is a lot that pulls up in this report

S&P CIQ Pro has great data, however, the new pro version is currently difficult to use given how slow the data is to process

I would you rate the D&B Finance Analytics's overall usability a 9 because it is super easy to use. The only reason for a 9 is there are a lot of features that I didn't realize were there and was not sure how to actually use them or what kind of information I could get

Support is great, issues are resolved quickly and easily, I've never had a significant issue but if I did run into a problem, I'm confident in the D&B team and their ability to address and resolve any potential issue based on my past interactions, the training I received and the flawless implementation.

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.

I have been given multiple free trials to competitors trade credit reports and have found that none are as comprehensive as D&B. D&B secures that most trade data which is the backbone of commercial credit reports worth and internal scoring models. That said, D&B charges a substantial premium compared to competitors which makes switching a viable option if budget is an issue

  • More or less improved efficiency in our Bank's underwriting process, but new deals have been slow as the economy worsens
  • We haven't been creating much new business due to the environment we are in and the position we are in as a regional bank
  • It will continue to strengthen our credit risk assessments
