IP2Location vs. TransUnion TruValidate

I have described our usage scenario previously

Neustar IP Intelligence is quick to deploy using their REST API, the data is automatically updated against one of the most robust datasets available on the market. It is well suited for developers trying to integrate with an out-of-the-box solution to lookup geolocation of website visitors in real time, and possibly build alerts or 2F-Authentication mechanisms based on suspicious activity.

• Free demo
• Quite complete database
• Customer service

• Helps detect fraud if a user has signed in from California only, then attempts to login from another country are made.
• Increase sales conversions by understanding geolocation of website visitors
• If your datacenters are georedundant, allows engineers to see where majority of traffic is generated and load balance accordingly.

Incentivized

• We want to know IP ranges too so that we can block the whole IP range if we want.

• It's a bare box solution. Not feature rich.

Based on my experiences IP2Location is the best of those which ones I've already tried.

Google has an open source version of this, but its updates are based on the user community. Since Neustar's IP Intelligence is a paid solution, the updates are regular, the interface is streamlined with a REST API, and there is a help desk you can consult for onboarding and questions if there are issues.

Incentivized

• user satisfaction
• data completeness
• speed+

• Ability to build fraud detection from suspicious activities.
• Balance traffic across data centers.
• Rapid deployment, regular updates.
