Strategic Operations Manager Civil Engineering Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Exceptional Fintel tools with high efficacy." January 18, 2024 5.0 From initial functionality and application enquiries, through to highly detailed discussions at C-Suite level, all communications have been positive, informative, frank, honest, candid and well-informed. All the team have proven supportive, helpful and keen to assist us in extracting optimal value from the platform. This year we have upgraded to the top offering available, as this is now embedded into our Strategic Management Suite. Pros Versatility of the data analysis capability, high accuracy of the data and reporting tools, exceptional efficacy of the predictive modelling and 'at a glance' informational graphics, allowing my Group MD to quickly understand the basis of a risk assessment providing a driver on a significant or critical commercial decision. Cons I reviewed the entire market in considerable depth over a three year period, and from careful evaluation and in depth interrogation of providers, weighed up the offerings, and ultimately selected Company Watch from a shortlisted three strong candidate providers. This decision is re-audited annually, to ensure optimal suitability of the selected provider. Switched from [Red Flag Alert](https://www.capterra.com/p/10006067/Red-Flag-Alert/) Superior levels of reporting, data accuracy and efficacy as a critical Financial Risk Management tool.

Group Risk Manager Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Companywatch Makes Performing Due Diligence on third party Suppliers a Doddle" April 8, 2024 5.0 I often visit company watch numerous times a day as all the information I need when making a supplier based decision is easy to locate, meaningful and up to date. In fact I often use this when third parties are collating information on one of our group of companies as its just so easy to locate everything. Pros I like the ease of use of the platform. Everything is clearly laid out and its a very easy system to navigate. Some of the information can be obtained from other services, but company watch has everything easily at hand. Cons The only thing I don't like about company watch is the way in which I have to log in with three pieces of information. Company/Username/Password. Are all those strictly necessary? Email and p/w would suffice. Switched from [Facebook Business Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/235972/Facebook-Business-Suite/) Cost and ease of use were the two driving forces.
