IP2Location vs. TransUnion TruValidate

I have described our usage scenario previously

Neustar IP Intelligence is quick to deploy using their REST API, the data is automatically updated against one of the most robust datasets available on the market. It is well suited for developers trying to integrate with an out-of-the-box solution to lookup geolocation of website visitors in real time, and possibly build alerts or 2F-Authentication mechanisms based on suspicious activity.

• Increase sales conversions by understanding geolocation of website visitors
• If your datacenters are georedundant, allows engineers to see where majority of traffic is generated and load balance accordingly.

I selected IP2 Location because it seems to be more serious, more accessible and that there is a free demo. This the main result when you are looking for this kind of information so logically it appears as the best. Their commercial offer is more attractive because of the possibility to have a free upgrade of your account (under conditions).

Google has an open source version of this, but its updates are based on the user community. Since Neustar's IP Intelligence is a paid solution, the updates are regular, the interface is streamlined with a REST API, and there is a help desk you can consult for onboarding and questions if there are issues.

Incentivized

• We can block fraud payments which can help our company's repetition and saves time which can be done after accepting a fraud payment.

• Ability to build fraud detection from suspicious activities.
• Balance traffic across data centers.
• Rapid deployment, regular updates.
