D&B Credit Insights vs. uberVu (discontinued)

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.

I liked uberVU a lot, and thought I was lucky to have found them (they actually responded to my tweet when I was vendor-searching, which was good to know as they were doing just what we were planning to use the software for). They are relatively small, which allows to have a great personal relationship and we felt very valued as a client. They provided great value - some of their competitors allow for more features (which explains their higher price), but there was no way to opt out of the unnecessary features to lower the price - uberVU didn't have any of that, it was just what we needed and in our price range

• Tells you if businesses pay their bills: They're really good at providing reports that show how reliably a company pays its debts. This helps you decide if you can trust them as customers or partners.
• They have tools that give you detailed information about businesses, making it easier to find potential customers for what you sell.

• Easy to see what people are saying on social media about clients.
• Creates reports that can be limited to certain time frames.
• Able to see the reach of users so you can breakdown by influencers.

• Using the correct personal credit score. My score is not right and won't allow me to change it.
• Have more financial options available for businesses that actually need funding. The requirements state we need to make a certain large amount in order to be approved for funds.
• New and slow growing businesses should have business lives of credit automatically.

• I honestly didn't have any issues with them. Being able to set the real-time alerts as "every 15 minutes" took some figuring out to do, and we were still in the trial mode while we did that - it wasn't particularly intuitive for other users, but once we walked them through, everything worked well.

Best product I've tried

I find it a great tool in the digital strategy world to see what people are saying across social platforms. It's much more efficient that doing a search on the platform itself and provides a lot of information extremely quickly

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.

A couple of times it was a little slow, but this didn't result in any negative impact for us. There was no downtime as I could recall or notice.

Yes very fast load, accurate insights and breaks down details to help it's great

Every time we needed help, the support was great. We had no issues, mostly needed usability walkthroughs and had questions about features.

I got the training while I was evaluating and in the trial period. Then I trained the others myself

Very easy and understandable

Not applicable since it is SAAS - all we needed was to sign up, which was easy

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.

Radian6 and Brandwatch were on the short list. We picked uberVU for its combination of price and features. It did not have extra features we didn't need, they were customizable and flexible enough to meet all of our needs

Very easy and accurate information

• 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.
