D&B Finance Analytics vs. Karza KScan

As I mentioned earlier, the D&B Analytics are very helpful when a customer has sufficient history and data available. However, for newer companies, it often does not bring back results, or very little information is provided, and therefore, it is not helpful in those situations. Alternative methods of credit analysis would be helpful.

• 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.

• Provide EIN number of the business to ensure you are viewing the correct business.
• Have an easier, clearer way to view a parent company and its subsidiaries or a main entity and its other addresses, so basically clearly define if it is the same entity.

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

Very easy to access, and the reports are generally intuitive and clearly understandable. Some minor issues with entering data, nothing that would keep me from using this software, though. The databases it draws from are robust, and I can generally find the information I need, or get pointed to that information as a result of studying the report.

I rate the performance very good. The report loads quickly and downloads in a reasonable time frame given the extensive complexity of the report. I've never had an issue

The customer support service team is very good and very knowledgeable. The customer reps are also helpful and quick to answer back when I send them an email or need to call them for additional help if I can not find it on my own. The whole D&B community is awesome on how they treat the customers.

The online training was worth it. We did an online training with our team and an account rep from D&B. They walked us through the entire interface and answered all of our questions.

I was not involved in the integration.

D&B has a cleaner user interface than the other credit reports we've used. The site layout is simple to navigate, making it easier for our team to quickly locate the correct customers, review their reports, assess credit scores, and monitor the risk alerts without having to dig through cluttered menus.

AT THIS PARTICULAR TIME, WE ONLY USE IT TO MAKE A DETERMINATION ON CREDIT. NO OTHER DEPARTMENTS HAVE ACCESS TO PROGRAM OTHER THAN ACCOUNTING

• 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
