See what real users are saying about their experience with Nexis on G2

It is easy to use- easy to search and refine within searches, and then to export or save relevant results. I like having access to so many sources. It is constantly updated and relevant and I can customize alerts and use advanced search capabilities.

Taryn S.Research Editor

Nexis is very easy to use and provides me with the most up-to-date information that I need on a particular topic. As part of my job responsibility, I conduct searches on all industries and often I have rush requests. Nexis affords me the opportunity to finish these requests in a speedy and efficient manner.

Also, Nexis has many sources that I am not able to find in the other database I use.

Philip S.Researcher, Bank of America

Nexis is vital to my business in searching for owner, property, and business information. I use it multiple times a day and would recommend to anyone. It was easy to learn how to use and I was able to integrate it into my business easily.
