Akhil Chapala

Senior Full Stack Java Developer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees

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.

Jahnavi Koppala

Actimize Developer at Infosys

A good designer for the UI, stable, and scalable

I give the solution a ten out of ten. Unlike other technologies, Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is partially pre-built, making it easy to understand what needs to be done and how to complete the work. Furthermore, due to the pre-existing code, there is no need to start from scratch, providing a better understanding of the current situation and what needs to be implemented. Our organization moved to Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management because the solution is an upgraded version and also it provides many benefits as we can easily activate rules. Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is very convenient and it provides easy access to everything. When utilizing the solution for the first time, always start with a lower environment such as a development environment. Only use Dell and SIT, and do not go directly to production. The solution may have an impact on the bank and large transactions.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 best features of BioCatch include analyzing how users interact and creating unique profiles for each user, which is what I appreciate most."

"The process and technology in the solution are very fast, and it is bug-free."

"The alerts are the most valuable feature because we have different alerts. Different data is fed to Actimize. It alerts us if a transaction happened from a certain place."

"It's a very good product for compliance and transaction monitoring for anti-money laundering."

"The solution's technical support is good."

"The case management tool is user friendly."

"I like the score generated on the Actimize platform for each customer transaction. Those are transactions per second, accommodating millions of transactions per second. That's the best feature of Actimize."

"The most valuable feature is the designer, which allows us to connect to UI and build things directly, such as creating a platform with our synchronizing policy manager rules, without any additional requirements."

"I like the tracking methodology. Though it was implemented on-premises, the compliance is compatible with it. It will have certain modifications with RPM and APR. It has good exposure from a compliance point of view."

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 solution needs to mitigate and provide an update for one listener process that keeps failing."

"The patch section has room for improvement."

"It would be better if it integrated with other tools. Actimize uses many databases, and everything on Actimize has been deployed to the database. On the customer side, on the front end side, if they focus more on integrating with other applications, it can make the tool better. The reporting feature and dashboards could be better. In the next release, I would like them to incorporate a Tableau-type reporting structure within this tool."

"Could include additional customization"

"This solution is unnecessarily complex."

"From the front end side, the UI is definitely user-friendly. It is highly compatible as long as the reading is at the coding point of view. But it can't provide certain high coding. When a person clicks on any kind of scenario or alert, I would like to have a metadata help menu."

"Licensing costs are high compared to other products in the market."

"One of the problems that our clients generally talk about is the price of the product when they have to purchase the product and the licenses for it. Those are on the higher side."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We need a separate license for each of the packages, such as the core package, self-development package, and customization package."

"Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is an expensive product."

"It is reasonable for enterprise customers."

"I don't know how licensing is handled in the current organization. I know that Actimize provides an option for yearly licensing because that's what we had in my previous job."

"I don't like the length of our vendor contracts because it kills our flexibility."
