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.

The setup is not complex. It is pretty standard. I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten. The deployment time depends on the applications and environment into which we integrate it. The product provides a lot of API documentation. The product is cloud-based. One or two people are enough to deploy the solution. We need some maintenance when new versions or patches need to be upgraded. It requires minimal maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The CA solution is a world-class product and others should consider using this solution."
"The service works as described, the Admin console is very good along with customer service, and the management support, which is excellent."
"I advise anyone that is looking for a payment security product to choose this solution."
"Helped reduce 3-D Secure losses to one of the lowest in the industry while having minimal customer impact."
"I think for us, the value that we get out of CA is their effective scheme diagnostics."
"So it's pretty useful operation wise, and also in terms of some inquiries from us, if a customer is disputing they didn't receive an OTP password on their online transaction, and then they're disputing that it's not theirs, and it's unauthorized, but it was a successful transaction, I use this product to see the customer's previous IP addresses."
"This is a good product, which is easy to deploy and has lot of user friendly features."
"I think stability-wise, we've not really had any issues in terms of stability."
"The most valuable feature the solution has is that it is able to do a fairly accurate fraud assessment of a credit card transaction, and the rules used in fraud scoring can be based on many transaction attributes such as purchased IP address (country), amount, email address, etc., with scoring rules configured by the merchant."
"The clients do get a return on their investment; it mitigated a massive DDoS, and it definitely detects fraudulent activities on banking platforms."
"There is excellent documentation available."
"Accessible custom rules with a monthly update on performance."
"The most valuable thing is about the IP. They have a database of malicious IP addresses against which they check. They have a huge database for routed devices and the devices that have been used in the past to commit fraud. They have extensive historical records of all of that information, and that's probably the most valuable thing about ThreatMetrix. Over the years, they have been collecting and persisting globally across all the banking and financial services. They have been storing all this information. It is this stored information that I and my team find valuable; it is not so much their technology. If you are running it on a simulator and trying to maliciously clone and copy IP addresses and stuff like that, they have a bunch of technologies, like routes section and all the other stuff. It is just that they have something that no one else can deal with, that is, massive amounts of big data about the malicious IP addresses, malicious device fingerprinting, the fingerprinting router devices, and the fingerprints. You can query against this stored information to find out whether your app is in a good, nice environment. If yes, you get a green light. The last time I checked, there were about 400 or 500 features that they can stack against, which is pretty extensive. They give you a score against all those features for every application that you installed on it. It is pretty good in that sense."
"The profiling of it that can show me many of the details of the client, the speed is very good, and the way they set up rules from their experience, like collecting the rules from other banks and other enterprises, is very helpful."
"The user interface, the portal, is very helpful in describing what attributes of concern are associated with the device."
"It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"An area of improvement for this product would be the ability to view more transactional data to determine the cause of a failed transaction."
"I had wish it would be this one, this authentication for fingerprint and face would be promising."
"I think improvements for us, it's making it simple enough that anybody can understand how it works."
"Sometimes, there is a bit of language issue of understanding problems."
"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."
"This is the one area where there's room for improvement. I think that is the one area where improvements can be made in terms of speed of response, in terms of quality of response, and in terms of more so a proactive problem monitoring."
"The deployment process needs to be updated to ensure the base code does not involve details of other clients."
"The service is improving with the implementation of 3D Secure 2.0."
"I think the solution has some way to go in terms of its user-friendly nature, and in terms of some of the dashboards and metrics that it provides."
"Could be more intuitive and user friendly."
"SDK is probably where the biggest issue is. The SDK configuration is a bit lacking, and if you are integrating it into your workflow, it is very cumbersome and very difficult to integrate."
"It would be useful if they could offer real-time processing."
"SDK is probably where the biggest issue is. The SDK configuration is a bit lacking. If you are integrating it into your workflow, it is very cumbersome and very difficult to integrate. You have to understand and be an expert in low-level mobile applications to integrate this stuff. Integration should be easy based on what they are providing, but unfortunately, it is not. It is very difficult. My work has been trying to simplify the integration process because integrations bring a lot of value. Most companies don't see their value because it is such a difficult process. For integration, you have to get it right as well, but it is very difficult to get it right because they don't help you in tuning your future parameters. Because of this, it is very difficult to tune your future parameters and your risk score. If you are Uber, your risk score will be very different from a banking client that is pushing funds. These two things need to be improved for me. The rest is pretty good."
"The pricing could be lower. We are a young company; maybe for big enterprises, price doesn't matter, however, for young companies, price-wise, it's not that good; it's a bit pricey."
"The tool is very expensive."
"We are only using one feature. We haven't found the other features to be very good or very powerful."
 

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 am not aware of the price. I have always come in after it has been negotiated. The clients do get a return on their investment. It mitigated a massive DDoS, and it definitely detects fraudulent activities on banking platforms. They have definitely got their ROI back because there is continued investment in ThreatMetrix over time."
