Inconvénients

The charging per click is a bit irritating

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.

Inconvénients

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.

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.

Inconvénients

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.
