What do you like best about Nexis for Development Professionals?

Lexis Nexis is the first place I go when doing my research. I love the address and employer information as well as the potential relatives. Also being able to search for someone by including a relative's name is a great feature! The company's reputation also gives me peace of mind that my findings are correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis for Development Professionals?

I wish the business search and news search could be narrowed down to EXACTLY what you type. It would be nice to still have it pull similar results but I would like the option to search for only results containing exactly what I'm searching for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexis for Development Professionals solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nexis confirms addresses and potential relatives for me as well as leading me to the person's career history. It helps when I can find a professional license when trying to confirm is in a specific occupation such as real estate agent. It solves a lot of the guessing games when trying to determine what type of relationship people have with each other in the potential relatives section. The address history is also very helpful in that it shows me possible locations that may have been recently sold if listed as former. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nexis for Development Professionals?

I use it all the time! The data is incredibly accurate and has been key in helping us identify prospects. I love the amount of features available, though this can be a double edge sword. I especially love the donation feature; since we no longer have iWave, having this in Nexis has been a lifesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis for Development Professionals?

It is a little pricey. While it's worth what it costs, it makes it difficult to add users as my team grows. Also, there are so many features that sometimes it's overwhelming, especially since they aren't always easy to find. It would be helpful if NDP sent out regular webinars around features available in nexis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexis for Development Professionals solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm able to find donation information as well as biographical info. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nexis for Development Professionals?

It, by far, has the most robust collection of information on real property records of any service out there. I use it every single day for prospect research and gift capacity rating analysis. We have many tools and many ways to find this information, but LNDP is always the most accurate that I have found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis for Development Professionals?

Because it is so large and so complex I often have to figure out what is and isn't in LNDP. I guess I just would like a more robust training program focusing on specific resources for everyday prospect research work. Just a preference. An easier way to find what is available to search is the best way I can put my request. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexis for Development Professionals solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is atttempting to gain more giving information on donors and that is wonderful. Additionally, due diligence tools are always helpful and LNDP is making great strides in that area. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nexis for Development Professionals?

The search feature is powerful, and I can find so many news articles dating many years back. The real estate records help gauge wealth capacity. Birthdates, voting registrations, criminal records, possible family members, emails, phone numbers, the list goes on. Lots of good info on there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis for Development Professionals?

I don't blame Lexis Nexis, but Asian names still hard to figure out gender sometimes, however, it's not uncommon to have an Asian individual's Anglocized name connected to their record. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexis for Development Professionals solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps gauge wealth capacity, it can help find connected businesses, real estate records are plentiful, news searches are fruitful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nexis for Development Professionals?

Nexis for Development Professionals is a must have for any database oversight team. It is our number 1 tool to use for researching prospects to ensure we are tracking the correct person, have the right address and to determine if they have passed away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis for Development Professionals?

There is a need for caution when researching within Nexis. Just because a data point is shown as current, such as an address, does not mean that it is. Further research within the Nexis profile or other tools may be necessary to determine for certain. Additionally, parent/child relationships sometimes get tangled when a parent buys a home for the child or the parent and child have the same name. Looking at the data wholistically is a must. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexis for Development Professionals solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nexis helps us untangle records and find better contact information for our constituents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to find addresses, current and historical and professional licenses. I like the ease of the comprehensive report. I like the ability to drill down into the public records and use the advanced search if needed. There is great training avaliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis for Development Professionals?

I would like the comprehensive report to include data from the company search. I also do not like the way the donor records are stored. I would like the ability to do batch searches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexis for Development Professionals solving and how is that benefiting you?

Confirming data on donors and potential donors, addresses, family links, employment, puclic licenses and court filings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nexis for Development Professionals?

Nexis for Development Professionals is easy to use without losing complexity and depth of information. As a prospect researcher, I use Nexis every day and for every donor. While Nexis is fairly straightforward, their customer support is quick to help with any qustions I have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis for Development Professionals?

It is unfortunate that Nexis does not really have information about charitable giving, nor do they score profiles for giving or net worth. I also think they could do a better job of communicating the potential accuracy of data included in their search. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexis for Development Professionals solving and how is that benefiting you?

I work at a non-profit foundation and we have a need to know our donors better. Nexis gives us most of the information we could need on a donor and is often very comprehensive. Knowing our donors' assets gives us an important tool for managing our constituents. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Nexis for Development Professionals?

It's a go-to, invaluable tool for prospect researchers for finding info as basic as name, address, and contact info like emails and phone numbers; and then you go into all the info you can find on real estate; and then you can do company information, find professional licenses. There are way too many cool features to list here! I use it every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Nexis for Development Professionals?

The only downside would be how vast it is and you feel like maybe you're under-utliziing it. And perhaps sometimes the "public records" screen can be a little confusing with property addresses vs. owner names and their addresses. But my Lexis Nexis rep is always responsive and kind with my questions and needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Nexis for Development Professionals solving and how is that benefiting you?

It helps with contact info, calculating philanthropic gift capacities, and finding prosepcts' professional info Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
