Overall Satisfaction with D&B Finance Analytics

We pull D&B reports to analyze financial data on our subcontractors in support of Prime Gov't Contracts. It is beneficial to see up front whether our vendors are low, medium or high risk. We pull these once a year to stay up to date on all our vendors financial risk.

Pros

  • Easy to pull data
  • Easy to understand
  • Easy to read

Cons

  • The new interface can be a little confusing with the change in some of the report names
  • simplify report options
  • summarize report on first page
  • Positive impact by allowing our company to get a visual into the company we may do business with
  • Positive impact to allow multiple pulls
  • Positive impact to ROI
I have not used other D & B Finance Analytics in the past there fore i am unable to provide a response of how d & b finance analytics stacks up against them nor am i able to provide a pros and cons list for this question. I wish i could provide more insight
On multiple occasions when I have forgotten my password I select forgot password for it to send me a reset password link. However, the system never sends me the reset password link then i am forced to personally reach out to D&B customer service which takes days to get back to my request!

Would you buy D&B Finance Analytics again?

It is a great report to get a good idea of a companies financial data. Our company submits bids on government solicitations so we use Dun and Bradstreet reports to evaluate the financial risk of all our contractors over the simplified acquisition threshold. Contractors over the SAT present more risk which is why D&B is so important.

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.

Evaluating D&B Finance Analytics and Competitors

Not Sure
  • Ease of Use
  • Other
I believe the main factor in our organizations decision to purchase is that Dun and Bradstreet is the named business to use these reports in government contracting.
I am not involved in the evaluation and selection process for the D&B Financial Analytics.

D&B Finance Analytics Implementation

I was not involved with implementation. I believe we only use the web version so no issues.
  • Implemented in-house
Not sure - I was not involved with implementation. I am a user.
  • I did not encounter issues with implementation

D&B Finance Analytics Training

  • No Training
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.
The product was fairly easy to use without training! I would recommend the training to others so you get a full idea of the capabilities of the prodcut!

No- I have not needed to configure D&B.
No - we have not done any customization to the interface
No - we have not done any custom code
I do not have any additional configuration or customization to mention.

D&B Finance Analytics Support

ProsCons
Good followup
Knowledgeable team
Escalation required
I don't think we have premium support based on our usage.
Yes - I was having issues with resetting my password to my account. I would not get the email so I had to work through customer service. It would take a long time to hear back from customer service, but we have an account rep. that would assist in moving the issue.
A couple years ago when D&B finance analytics moved to the new "platform"/"Interface". It was a bit confusing for me at first, but our account rep. assisted me with a walk through of the upgrade and personally helped me understand.

  • Running the reports
  • searching entities
  • Choosing which report you need
  • determining whether you need HQ report or not
Overall D&B Finance Analytics is user friendly. It look some getting used to with the upgrade change a couple years ago, but once you nagivate through that it is ok. It's pretty easy to search by company name or duns # if you already have that handy. The reports have a full analysis of the company with lots of information in the company profile.
