Overall Satisfaction with D&B Finance Analytics

We use D&B to qualify new customers for credit. It is often faster than only using bank and trade references. When a company has a robust D&B profile we're able to approve them for trade credit quickly based on data that is externally verifiable. It also allows us to validate the credit application and check for red flags like Bankruptcies, excessive UCC filings, etc.
  • Trade References
  • Credit Limits
  • Bankruptcy Record
  • Ownership
  • Corporate Linkage
  • Poor Data Depth on Smaller Companies
  • Less Data in Certain Industries (ex. Hospitality)
  • Only Accept Trade Tapes from Very Large Companies
  • Sometimes Data on Linkage or Ownership is Out of Date
  • Less Bad Debt
  • Improved DSO
  • Reduced Collections Efforts
This is the only tool we have in evaluating a company before starting business with them. Everything else we have helps us manage customers AR or collect on past dues.
Very easy. Training was good, free and readily available.
D&B always provides great support by phone. I do wish contract and licensing were a bit more flexible, but no major complaints.
