Use Cases and Deployment Scope

This is definitely a good resource! It's been very useful. I'm interested in more up to date intel on company financials, especially for smaller entities.

Pros and Cons

Finding contacts and contact information
Lot of ways to search. You can search by NAIC, SIC code, industry, etc.

Intel on company financials for smaller entities
More up to date information, especially on smaller companies

Return on Investment

It has helped narrow in on companies part of a specific sector which would be otherwise hard to locate.
It's helped locate things due to convenience of appending NAIC/SIC code to companies

Yes, filters are great and allow you to search for things from a variety of angles. I would say however, that for smaller companies, some data can be a little out of date (though it is understandable since these companies are harder to dig info on!).

Contact Data

Definitely appreciate the contacts data in D&B Hoovers! It's been helpful in many projects.

Alternatives Considered

S&P Capital IQ

CapIQ has more information, especially on public companies. When it comes to mid-size private/smaller private companies they can be fairly similar with the information they provide.
