    Considered Both Products
    Dun Bradstreet
    Chose D&B Finance Analytics
    This isn't precisely the software we used, but this is closest of the options presented. We used Experian almost exclusively for small firms not fully represented under D&B, in particular Canadian firms which Experian had a more robust reporting regimen. Customers in Canada …

    Chose D&B Finance Analytics
    We use Experian as well for some accounts that aren't on D&B or don't have enough data.

    Chose D&B Finance Analytics
    Actually pretty well. I did notice when I was evaluating D&B to Experian Experian would have a suit, lien or judgement and D&B other didn't and vice versa. Sometime one credit reporting agency would have more information than the other. NACM is another company I evaluated …

    Chose D&B Finance Analytics
    Experian has a very good product, arguably better than D&B when it comes to smaller companies. But overall, D&B has more available information available. Credit Risk Monitor has a superior product when it comes to public companies as they provide most current financials and …

    Chose D&B Finance Analytics
    I think that D&B is once again stronger when it comes to analyzing larger businesses. Experian works best for individuals and smaller businesses. It would be great to see something that has both.

    Chose D&B Finance Analytics
    All the other reporting analytics we use are usually in conjunction with D&B reports, or are gathered when D&B reporting is not available without an investigation.

    D&B provides insight into the viability of a customer who is looking for open terms and large orders on credit. It helps us determine the risk when lending to customers with whom we don't have much history. It's also helpful to see what types of liens/lawsuits they have pending at a given time.

    It suits well for large clients dealing with lots of data and has robust system of underwriting. There are vast portfolio mix that can be imported from this product and finance companies should have large enough client base to utilise these values
    Where It is not well suited, where the client needs more automated capabilities with ready to made recommendations

    Pros
    Dun Bradstreet
    • Custom Scores
    • Finding Companies through Search or Advanced Search. It's got an easy search bar. And then for example, we have companies all over the world that come to us. And so we can just choose the country, for example, and then write the name in there and it'll bring up a lot of different companies that maybe are exactly that name or close to that name. And when we see what we believe to be the actual company, we can click on it and then know whether they are credit worthy.
    • Great UX on the website - fast and easy to use. The speed with which it operates is really terrific and very important for us because we usually have to make that decision right away.
    • Using something as objective as a numerical score simplifies decisions about offering credit. We have to make a decision usually on whether to offer credit to an advertiser quickly. So what's wonderful about the process is that we don't have to be searching around on Google or any kind of review site and then try to discern whether they're credit worthy. We simply open up the D&B Finance Analytics tool.

    Cons
    Dun Bradstreet
    • Updates on smaller firms are often spotty, and often we're notified or find out about substantial changes (e.g., location, management, et al., well before these turn up in their report.
    • It would be nice to have forms automatically submitted when the return key is used; this is a nice shortcut instead of mousing over to the Submit button, and was present in earlier iterations.
    • The ability to tailor automatic sign-outs. Often I'm working on a specific customer, and I go back to start another a few minutes later, and find myself logged out. Automatic sign-outs were for a longer time span previously.

    • This product should provide portfolio mix encompassing very dissimilar industries more often
    • Should have some AI/ ML capabilities to segregate high risk portfolios as desired one
    • Reporting and Dashboards can be more user friendly
    • Plug and Play Integration with other tools

    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

    Usability
    Dun Bradstreet
    I would you rate the D&B Finance Analytics's overall usability a 9 because it is super easy to use. The only reason for a 9 is there are a lot of features that I didn't realize were there and was not sure how to actually use them or what kind of information I could get

    Alternatives Considered
    Dun Bradstreet
    I have been given multiple free trials to competitors trade credit reports and have found that none are as comprehensive as D&B. D&B secures that most trade data which is the backbone of commercial credit reports worth and internal scoring models. That said, D&B charges a substantial premium compared to competitors which makes switching a viable option if budget is an issue

    • More or less improved efficiency in our Bank's underwriting process, but new deals have been slow as the economy worsens
    • We haven't been creating much new business due to the environment we are in and the position we are in as a regional bank
    • It will continue to strengthen our credit risk assessments
