"Arachnys for due diligence research"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Arachnys?

Arachnys allows me to search for global news and country-specific news and to add adverse terms as a filter. The adverse filter shows me potential negative news on a client or prospective client more easily and efficiently. I can search in English or another language and add those adverse terms accordingly. I also use Arachnys as a double check for PEP designation after I use my primary source, WorldCheck One (Refinitiv). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arachnys?

I don't like not having a headline or company filter when I start my search. I find that sometimes I get way too many hits! I also find that searching for a person with a common name is not very helpful unless I know more about him/her. Also downloading the records by creating tags is a bit cumbersome, but it works.

What problems is Arachnys solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can use Arachnys to find news on a person or company. I can also use it to focus on potential adverse things. And I can use it to help me link out to a corporate registry for OpenCorporates or directly from another country. I can review any sanctions hits. I can use the social media filter to be anonymous when I search LinkedIn, for example when reviewing search results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
