    CSI Watchdog is a great tool when carrying out individual vetting or multiple vetting and can help trace and trace elements that have been placed on red alert, allowing organizations to work with individuals whose reputation is not questionable. However, making entries on its screen can be a daunting task, especially for new users. One needs to familiarise themselves with these tools before one gains some level of proficiency and competence.

    Neustar IP Intelligence is quick to deploy using their REST API, the data is automatically updated against one of the most robust datasets available on the market. It is well suited for developers trying to integrate with an out-of-the-box solution to lookup geolocation of website visitors in real time, and possibly build alerts or 2F-Authentication mechanisms based on suspicious activity.

    Cons
    Computer Services, Inc (CSI)
    • The lack of template that can be used by novice users can be a huddle.
    • I find it's UI a little basic, therefore improving on it would make it more competitive.

    Alternatives Considered
    Computer Services, Inc (CSI)
    The only other product I have used is the System for Award Management (SAM), maintained by the US Government. Compared to this, CSI WatchDOG is much more reliable and has more options. I also believe the batch vetting/screening option in CSI WatchDOG gives it a definite edge over SAM.

    Google has an open source version of this, but its updates are based on the user community. Since Neustar's IP Intelligence is a paid solution, the updates are regular, the interface is streamlined with a REST API, and there is a help desk you can consult for onboarding and questions if there are issues.
