D&B Finance Analytics vs. Equifax Credit Risk

Most cases in particular where D&B has been beneficial to our company is to see that a company has been involved in legal suits with other companies doing the same type of work as us. The visibility of seeing this allows us to see that a particular company has a history of bad faith in this industry with similar contractors, which we can then investigate further if necessary or make a choice to avoid doing business with them. Using D&B to qualify our vendors is appropriate in every case

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

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
