We are using the product for 3D Secure authentication and fraud prevention

For CA Risk Analytics, we would like to have some statistics available, to do some counting on the number of transactions for example. Also, to have the ability not only for 3D Secure, but accross all online channels. Online banking and App. Because then you would have three online channels. You would have the same device data, so you can combine it. So then you would have an online banking platform, an app, and 3D Secure all from one supplier. This supplier would support all of our authentication methods across those three channels. That's our ultimate goal to have one supplier to support all three online channels.

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.

"For us, it enables the bank or the issuer to offer their customers protection on their online transactions."

"I think for us, the value that we get out of CA is their effective scheme diagnostics."

"It's the security and protection it offers our customers."

"The technical support team is professional and attentive to our needs and concerns."

More Broadcom Payment Security pros

"It's an in-depth, all-in-one solution."

"We avoid losses in multiple ways with Kount."

"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."

"There were other people and other departments using other software, but Kount stood out in payroll because it was already proven and even the payments division was using it."

"We have 100% seen ROI; it helped us quickly identify our areas of fraud, stop us from losing money, start doing business smarter, save good customers, boost our sales, and minimize fraud at the same time."

"The initial setup was absolutely straightforward. Within a week I was fully working."

Cons

"We need more improvement in the Arcot console, which is used in monitoring 3DS transactions for example caching real time transactions rather than getting them after two or three hours."

"An area of improvement for this product would be the ability to view more transactional data to determine the cause of a failed transaction."

"Their response time was amazing, but it took a lot of time and the responses that we got were not really satisfactory, so it took a lot of time and alterations to get something fixed, which should have been fixed much earlier."

"At the moment, getting into that rich data is quite an effort."

"This solution can improve around the challenge rates and the failures."

"We are still unable to implement OTP through email using this solution."

"The pricing construct can be very cumbersome."

"In the first two years, there were several issues with stability."

More Broadcom Payment Security cons

"The rule system and automation could be expanded a little bit more."

"They could do a little bit better with chargeback management."

"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."

"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."

"The rule system and automation could be expanded a little bit more."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Utilize the transaction pricing model versus the active cards because the ability to monitor active cards hasn’t been good."

"I think the pricing is great — I think it's totally worth what they're charging because the benefits are great."
