Chose D&B Finance Analytics
The only other tools we used was the Avention tool; this was given to us by a vendor and it was amazing and we continued to use it as long as possible. It was easier to navigate then Hoovers and we found it had more accurate data; Hoovers seemed to focus on quantity while this …
Chose D&B Finance Analytics
I use both of these resources in tandem to provide a detailed analysis of our client's customers. Hoovers provides more detail on a company's organizational structure (i.e. immediate parent companies, ultimate parent companies, etc.). I prefer to use Hoover's if a company's …

Chose D&B Finance Analytics
We use D&B Finance Analytics in conjunction with other products to fill in the corporate structure gaps.
Chose D&B Finance Analytics
D&B Hoovers is another good product, particularly for evaluating larger companies. I have no experience using products that compete with either Finance Analytics or Hoovers, so I can not address that. Based on our experience, however, we think that any D&B product offering …
Chose D&B Finance Analytics
I currently use Westlaw in conjunction with D&B Finance Analytics as I feel they provide different strengths. D&B Finance Analytics provides overall business risk information, while Westlaw provides bankruptcies, liens and judgements, UCC filings, criminal records, arrest …

D&B is best in class for commercial credit reports in US. They get the largest amount of payment data which drives all of their internal scoring. I have used a number of competitors over the years and none measure up to D&B. That said D&B is very expensive compared to comparative reports. Also, all of the scoring is only as good as the trade data received and many companies do not report trade data. For that reason I tend not to trust many of predictive scoring models they provide. Reports outside of US are very expensive and most times provide very little data. This is a common problem with most domestic based credit reporting agencies and some countries just don't provide this type of information

If you are looking for a data provider with pretty good company profiles Hoovers is a great choice. They are NOT a leader in contact data. If you are looking for the best data provider for contact data, maybe not your best choice, but if you want to be able to be able to analyze all past clients or prospects to develop a "best fit" prospect profile, Hoover could be a useful tool If you are looking for a data provider to get direct phones, direct emails and every employee at a locations this is not the best option

Pros
Dun & Bradstreet
  • Good analysis.
  • Good data, as well as a lot of details statistics and scores, help to review and assess a customer's current situation and status.
  • Company Linkage so that you can determine if the company is owned by another company or parent company.

  • allows you to search within broad industry categories or very detailed subcategories using a variety of methods (NAICS, SIC, D&B's internal coding system, keywords, etc.)
  • Has a variety of personnel that you can view and sort by level, name, or email availability.
  • Oftentimes emails for C-level personnel cannot be located on the company website or easily found elsewhere online.

Cons
Dun & Bradstreet
  • organization of pdf of reports; it seems to be a little complex and hard to read with s much data and charts/colors included
  • easier access via links to the definitions of the various metrics DNB uses. For example, what exactly is the Paydex and how do I use it/think about it

  • We should be able to "exclude" words from titles or company names
  • Able to access titles and email addresses more easily - not look at list first, select find matching contacts button, then go back to sort to add titles contain and email addresses, etc. This is a two-step process to get what I need.

Currently all of the Credit Managers use the report daily when review, setting up or investigating new or potential customers. They also use the repot when review current customer's to determine credit worthiness in the event there is a potential for bad debt, bankruptcy or an increase in growth with our company.

Hoover's just isn't compelling for the types of information they provide and the pricing model. But again, this is from the very limited perspective of a below entry level analyst who is just finishing their studies. It is probable that for some segments of industry, Hoover's has vast wealth of pertinent information. For example, when looking into agricultural industries for a consulting firm, I did not save any time with their service because information on factory locations and assets was scant. Using Google earth to view the square footage of the facilities to estimate assets was often more helpful.

Usability

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

This is a great resource for us on the sales and accounting side of our company. The graphs and ratings based on Paydex, Failure Score, and Delinquency Score are so useful. This tool has endless ways to help a company be protected against things that can be damaging to their financial situation.

I don't currently and have not in the past used any other similar products. D&B Finance Analytics is the standard used in my industry and since it is used in my role for verification of information it is important I use the same provider as others. I have been pleased with my experience with D&B Finance Analytics and am happy this is what is used.

The company information provided by D & B hoovers is extremely in-depth and in detail, the accuracy of the information provided gives a very good idea about the prospective company and helps in making cohorts and evaluation fit. As compared to other companies D & B hoovers is not as efficient in detecting buyer intent which other tools like Slintel are very good at. D & B Hoovers gives amazing company info however it can improve on sharing information about buyer intent. Sales Navigator by far provides extremely accurate information with is almost 100% accurate. However, Navigator does not provide buyer intent information.

  • 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

  • Honestly cannot say we really drove any new sales using D&B Hoovers to prospect new companies and leads. We obtained higher data quality with other tools like ZoomInfo and Skrapp.
  • A year long contract that isn't honored on their side due to lack of customer service and poor data quality definitely does not equal ROI.
  • Spent significant time sanitizing and cleansing inaccurate data provided by their service. Since time is money in business, that was a loss in that aspect.
