"Performed student loan research deep dive with Equifax Ignite"
5/5
What do you like best about Equifax Ignite® for Financial Services?

The granularity and specificity of the Equifax Ignite data, along with the intuitive and creative data elements, is what makes it stand out among other data sources available for financial services consultants. I was recently involved in extensive research regarding the restart of federal student loan repayment, and there was no question that we couldn't answer with the Equifax Ignite tools in hand. The tradeline level data had useful historical features that helped us tease out complex patterns across massive swaths of the population. Importantly, my colleagues and I were able to onboard to the system and get accustomed to the various tools in a short period, greatly reducing the time it took our team to produce this time-sensitive paper. We appreciated the one-on-one support and attention that was available to us from the Equifax Ignite team whenever questions arose. In my experience, the Equifax team is quick to adopt new practices and ideas regarding data organization and utilization, making for an agile ecosystem that my firm takes advantage of to the great benefit of our analysts and clients.

What do you dislike about Equifax Ignite® for Financial Services?

When I first tried to gain access to the system, I had some issues logging on. However, when I wrote to the Equifax Ignite user team, I received a nearly instant response that was helpful and straightforward and I was able to log on easily afterwards. Perhaps the onboarding documentation has since been refreshed, but anyway this was not a major delay in my work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for prototyping models / analytics with equifax data"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Equifax Ignite® for Financial Services?

Access to a lot more consumer credit data (in terms of size and types of data) than paying for a data dump at the same budget. It was perfect for us to prototype our ML and risk model (since we had no idea what features would be important). Ignite is built on top of GCP, so we were able to leverage BigQuery and Jupyter Notebook + Spark for quick iterations from the get-go. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Equifax Ignite® for Financial Services?

It is a closed ecosystem for data protection, but it also means that we were limited to the tools provided by the platform. So for production, we might still get data dumps, but with the help of Ignite, we now have a better idea of what data and how much we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
