    Equifax
    Equifax Credit Risk is great for getting consumer credit reports online, pre-filled business reports online, and sometimes searching for corporate reports online. Equifax Credit Risk is not suitable for cases where the customer provides the credit application requesting to update banking and business reference information.

    Neustar IP Intelligence is quick to deploy using their REST API, the data is automatically updated against one of the most robust datasets available on the market. It is well suited for developers trying to integrate with an out-of-the-box solution to lookup geolocation of website visitors in real time, and possibly build alerts or 2F-Authentication mechanisms based on suspicious activity.

    Alternatives Considered
    Equifax
    Equifax Credit Risk has a quick platform that is constantly evolving with the objective of benefiting the direct client, reducing response time to the end client. I like that its platform is easy to use and very intuitive. It is very secure because it uses different confirmation methods to log in with your users each time they need to log in.

    Google has an open source version of this, but its updates are based on the user community. Since Neustar's IP Intelligence is a paid solution, the updates are regular, the interface is streamlined with a REST API, and there is a help desk you can consult for onboarding and questions if there are issues.
