D&B Finance Analytics

Pros: We created custom templates for financial reports; the reports look professional and are easy to keep updated. I've found it extremely useful for creating agile reports on demand, and it has completely transformed the way I work with finance. I appreciate that it works well and extracts data automatically.

Cons: It's not always easy to find a specific field; there's a slight learning curve when it comes to creating queries. I wish I could extract more historical data than current data; setting it up in Excel can be tricky the first time.

Overall: It offers a combination of these features and access to my data, helping me obtain values ​​quickly. I can save time almost immediately, and I appreciate how it reduces the turnaround time for our reports. It offers greater flexibility for report creation than the accounting system.

Pros: Comprehensive business data and credit information
Wide coverage of companies across industries
User-friendly interface
Valuable for risk assessment and decision-making
Reputable and established industry resource
Helpful for due diligence and vendor vetting

Cons: Information not always up-to-date
Premium pricing
Data updates can lag behind real-time changes
Occasional gaps in company information accuracy

Overall: Overall, I've been pleased with D&B's services. The platform provides valuable business intelligence and credit information that has been useful for our decision-making processes. The interface is reasonably user-friendly, and the breadth of company data available is impressive.
However, I've noticed that the information isn't always as current as I'd like. There have been instances where company details, executive changes, or financial updates lagged behind real-time developments. For the premium price point, I'd expect more frequent data updates to ensure we're making decisions based on the most accurate information available.
Despite this concern, D&B remains a solid resource for business research and risk assessment. If they can improve their data refresh cycles, it would be an excellent service.

Pros: Pulling up reports on the D&B website turned out to be very easy and convenient for me as I use it daily and sometimes several times a day to verify the legitimacy of the businesses we deal with. I like the search options here to choose not only from local businesses but foreign as well. Also sometimes searching by D&B number alone or corporate addresses works pretty well for me. Moreover it shows right away if it is the branch or company headquarters which often comes in handy.

Cons: Currently as the D&B has been updated It takes a little longer to sign in as it is also asking to confirm the password which was not the case before. Maybe it can be changed in the settings, I have just not get to it yet :)

Overall: Overall I enjoy using the search engines of D&B and as a tool for verifying businesses authenticity it is more than enough for me.

Pros: The best part is having our credit apps at our finger tips and no more missing information from the customer.

Cons: Other than customers not wanting to fill it out there are no cons

Overall: Sending a link for our credit applications and having ALL the information filled out that we must have has made day to day so much smoother.

Pros: Shows you all the info about a business including any SOS listings, connected companies, and accounts they have that have been reported. Also shows UCC liens that company has had.

Cons: The payment history is not on loans done with banks but instead is payment history for accounts they hold with other vendors- this is not always an accurate view of a companies ability to pay on time, and is not always an accurate view of an amount that company should be approved for. I wish it would show loans they have and I wish the UCC section was completely accurate- it does show most of their UCC filings but there are times when UCC liens are not on D&B

Overall: D&B is a great snapshot of a company's health and background- I do not suggest it be used as the ONLY determination for financing a company but it is a great pre-cursor to get some info on a company you may be considering offering financing to or a company you plan to work with.

Pros: Dun & Bradstreet has truly been a game changer for my business.
