Akhil Chapala - PeerSpot reviewer
Has enabled real-time risk-based authentication using behavioral insights across multiple channels
We experienced some stability issues including API latency, SDK initialization failures, and session ID correlation. We mitigated these by synchronous SDK loading, monitoring API performance, ensuring fallbacks for unsupported devices, and regular session validation. Load testing and error logging also help maintain reliability at scale. Currently, I do not have anything to say on present features of BioCatch because we use it frequently but have not explored it completely. As a Java developer, I work on both front-end and back-end. If something could be developed in BioCatch, I see potential in how users interact with devices, such as typing patterns. Also, integration-friendly aspects, such as the lightweight SDK for web, native, and iOS and Android SDKs, along with continuous authentication, real-time risk scoring, and multiple fraud detection models such as account takeover and bot detection, would be beneficial. It could work across web and mobile platforms while maintaining privacy and compliance.

Features a large database of fraud signals and indicators to stop fraud in its tracks
At my old company, I used to use a tool called Sift. It's another great tool, but I prefer Kount. The major differences between the two solutions are how they're laid out and how fast you can gather as much information as possible. I personally prefer Kount — that's my personal preference. I've worked with both platforms for many years. I personally prefer Kount for the way that they display information and for the variety and flexibility they offer when it comes to the rules — from very simple to very complex. Kount is better designed for catching fraud, detecting fraud, and preventing fraud. Sift is also great; you will not go wrong if you go with Sift, but I personally prefer Kount.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The best features of BioCatch include analyzing how users interact and creating unique profiles for each user, which is what I appreciate most."
"It can track mouse movements as well as the actual oriental moments of such as the movement of devices, how they are held, and the angles which at they are held. All these are captured for customers and a behavioral profile is built for the customer over a period of time. This would be matched against any fraudulent behavior. If, for example, suddenly a customer account seems to be accessed by our profile, which is not one particular customer account, if the movements or habits are suspect, we can catch the fraud and shut it down."
"The initial setup was absolutely straightforward. Within a week I was fully working."
"It's an in-depth, all-in-one solution."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to create your own ruleset and edit it whenever you want. Their reporting functionality is very helpful. It's really robust."
 

Cons

"We experienced some stability issues including API latency, SDK initialization failures, and session ID correlation."
"BioCatch is one of the fraud detection tools which also has machine learning capabilities and it has what is called a machine learning model feature. It is run in the background. The consequence of those machine models is it is complex to perform data functions and the activity and programming techniques. The decision-making for determining what's happening within those models is a little bit complex and not at all transparent. It's not easy for businesses to understand how the model is using the data of the bank customers in order to come to the assumption it does."
"The rule system and automation could be expanded a little bit more."
"The time that is taken to go to Kount and come back should be in the order of around 100 milliseconds or less. And our context was taking around 200 to 300 milliseconds. We didn't want the extra load of 100 milliseconds to happen, so if the two rounds of stability could be cut to one, that would be very helpful."
"They could do a little bit better with chargeback management. There are other solutions out there that I've heard about, like Accertify that have a better chargeback platform where they're integrated more with the banks or in terms of how the workflow is and how you can respond to chargebacks."
