D&B Finance Analytics vs. FactSet

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

Integration with MS Powerpoint is one of my first recommendations, it is an advance to be able to integrate FactSet with other products to be able to expand the capacity of accounting departments. The scalability of FactSet is amazing and is related to its integration plugins. The ROI achieved through FactSet also continues to motivate me to recommend it.

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
