We are currently using D&B Connect for account level information to integrate to our customer database to populate firmographics. We found that other companies information was less trustworthy than Dunn and Bradstreet and decided to segregate the data between two sources: Firmographics and Demographics. D&B Connect was used as Firmographics as we found their information the most accurate.
  • Number of Employees
  • Number of Locations
  • Annual Revenue
  • Headquarter locations
  • Contact information
  • Ease of connections - some error message are difficult to decipher
  • More intutive connection
We found that Dunn and Bradstreet has a very supportive team that has helped in our implementation and continue to answer our questions on the correct way to implement including questions of records under management which is the main cost driver after implementation. The data is pretty complete and we can insert a snapshot of what information they have on companies into our systems.

Our data is riddled with missing attributes or incorrect values. D&B Connect helps to provide an easy and straightforward way for me and other members of my team to cleanse our data to a standard that matches our data governance expectations.
  • User-friendly UI
  • Easy to understand output
  • Wide array of data values to choose from
  • There are tons of data attributes. It would be nice if there was a more straightforward way to sort through them to make sure you have all the right ones for your search.
Any scenario where core data is accurate but supplementary data is missing or inaccurate, D&B Connect is a great tool that would add value to any organization in their efforts to maintain high quality master data. It wouldn't be as useful in a situation that's very niche to a particular industry such as FDIC or NCUA codes for US banks and credit unions.

We currently use Connect for the granular batch matching capabilities that other solutions cannot support. This is primarily useful for companies such as ours whose growth strategy is largely M&A focused. For us, the ability to quickly determine the corporate identity of the acquired companies' customers in order to differentiate between existing and net-new customers is invaluable during both the due diligence period as well as post-acquisition integration.
  • Data enrichment
  • Rules-based matching
  • Summary data quality analytics
  • faster and more predictable processing speeds
  • add ability to produce multiple match candidates, particularly where MGS are identical
Already given well suited scenarios. Less well suited would be in situations with incomplete or lower quality starting criteria and multiple candidates would need to be evaluated to determine the "correct" match rather than the one D&B chooses to be the best out of a bad lot.

The customer provided their details by providing the company name and address. Most of the time it is not up to date and hence results in junk data with no value. Many times it results in duplicate data as well. D&B Connect was used to verify the address entered by the user by verifying it from the D&B master record. Based on the response, the address was validated, and auto-corrected, and the corresponding DUNS number was stored. This helped in reducing the duplicate data and also in cleansing customer names and addresses.
  • Data Enrichment
  • Fast & Secure API
  • Customer Data validation
  • Batch Data Validation
  • Bulk Data Validation API can be improved for better usability
  • There is limit of 25 API calls in single call. It must be improved.
  • Canadian customer data was not available many times
D&B Services helped out customers in validating the Customer Data by providing DUNS numbers. Their API service is very fast, reliable, and secure. Their batch process also helped in validating the legacy data in bulk where more than 300K customer data was reviewed and verified. Data enrichment services of D&B is also very good.

We currently use the DNB connect platform to provide insight and attributes on the manufacturers that we come in contact with on a regular basis. We use this information to supplement the data we provide to our clients to better assist in their purchasing needs. This also allows us to ensure we are targeting the correct type of manufacturer.
  • matching to the correct manufacturer
  • providing important attributes about each manufacturer
  • linking manufacturers together via a family tree
  • allowing for other attributes to assist in matching a searched manufacturer to one in DNB database
DNB is great if you want to link manufacturers together in a family tree or highlight special attributes such as diversity or risk factors. The area where I have issues with using it is my company does not currently store manufacturer addresses or some other identifying attributes, so our match rates are not very high and we do not always get the correct manufacturer returned to us.

We have a couple of uses...1) quality comparison to our current data and 2) lead generation to find new business opportunities. For Quality Comparison, we map our customer site IDs to DUNS numbers and then pull in the corresponding DUNS data for our review. For Lead Generation, we do searches by geography and product while excluding current customers to find potential customers.
  • set up is easy to use
  • feedback is very organized
  • administration is easy to manage
  • in my opinion having to split usage between United States and International does not make sense on why this needs to be done....recommend eliminating this
  • need for improvement on error resolution....when an error is found the D&B resolution team is EXTREMELY difficult to work with...very clunky and automated when there is a need for personnal interaction
it is very well suited to match company, address, city, state and country data to find DUNS information for the site

I run credit reports to determine customer credit worthiness.
  • Efficient reports.
  • Multiple search options.
  • Good customer service.
  • Ability to pull by web address.
  • Outdated items on last page.
  • Separate closed business in diff category.
  • Recent to oldest info search.
Well suited for checking customers' credit info and payment history.

  • Provides company address.
  • Provides company employee strength.
  • Provides domain of the organization and its size.
  • D&B Connect can improve the parent organization and the sub/child organization hierarchy.
  • D&B Connect can also provide a method or point of contact for various organizations/ its branches.
It is well suited if you need company details. D&B Connect is used to get the company address, company employee strength, the domain of the organization, and its size. These parameters are necessary for us to take some of the decision-making questions. D&B Connect is a market leader in this regard and quite resourceful and useful for this activity. It's not well suited if you are looking to get contact information for the company or any of its branches.

I use DBC to research companies, understand principals, understand what the internal networks might be, and use it as a base start for potential contact information.
  • Principals at Public Companies.
  • Org Structure at Public Companies.
  • Basic contact info.
  • Basic contact info at private companies.
  • Accurate corp structure of principals at private companies.
If one is targeting sales development at a public company, DBC can be used in conjunction with other platforms like Linkedin and market research to triangulate approaches for max impact/resonance.

We Used D&B mainly for sales intelligence, we used this tool to find people who had the intention of taking services similar to what we offer. We used the tool to search people mainly in the US and India. The main problem is the reach the right people at the right time, D&B helps in identifying them, this narrows down the number of people we need to approach to make our pitch. I guess they use cookies to identify the people from companies who search the net for particular services and thus letting us know the intent to buy.
  • Searching people who have the intent to buy your services or products.
  • It has as very good filter that helps pinpoint your targeted audience.
  • It has a large pool of contacts within the company, so helps to reach out to the right person via several connections.
  • The data available is fresh and current.
  • Further breakdown of industries can be done.
  • Executives who are decision makes can be indicated in a better way.
  • Too expensive.
It is best suited when you don't want to just spray and pray kind of a scenario, this helps in targeting just the right people for making a sale. You can search people based on industry, function, level of seniority, geography, designation, etc. Mostly there are no scenarios where it is not appropriate in particular, if you don't want buyer intent data then in that case it is expensive and you can look for other options.

It is a self-service data management platform that helps us enrich our leads/customers database with additional data.
  • Availability of data
  • Quality of data
  • Data monitoring
  • Pricing
  • API accessibility
  • Data limited to companies registered with D&B
It can go to a data enrichment tool if pricing is not an issue and have a good data infrastructure pipeline. Else, this wonderful tool might become very hard to maintain and costly.
