CSI WatchDOG vs. TransUnion TruValidate

CSI WatchDOG is a vetting tool, and in that, it is quite good. It has the ability to perform checks on individuals as well as groups. For the latter, there is a handy option to simply add a list of individuals from an Excel sheet directly onto the system. This is quite time-efficient. There is also the option to choose from multiple lists of prohibited individuals and entities maintained in the system. Overall, CSI WatchDOG is simple to use. However, the user interface could use an upgrade. I believe the main purpose behind the software is functionality, and CSI WatchDOG is quite good at being functional. But user interface upgrades could make the software easier on the eye as well. Also, some often repeated options can be automated for further ease of use.
