Monitors transactions effectively but needs better support and more advanced AI
Entrust Transaction Guard monitors transactions between core banking applications. It offers integrations to many platforms, compatibility, and easy API integrations, providing effective fraud detection. The product reduces fraud for customers, especially within the financial services industry, by protecting transactions such as online payments and card usage. Without such solutions, online banking would face significant challenges.

Real-time capability, consortium data model but offline analysis of transactions is not flexible
FICO users are business users, not developers. When setting up rules or parameters, some coding is required, and the learning curve is quite steep. This is a disadvantage of FICO. Additionally, the offline analysis of transactions is not flexible. Transactions need to be flagged as fraud to show up in the analysis, making it difficult to identify false negatives. The Identity Resolution Engine (IRE), an extension to FICO Falcon Platform, is helpful. However, integration with FICO Falcon Fraud Manager can be challenging due to its rigid template and data format requirements. This can cause delays in development and integration, potentially postponing projects by a month or two. AI is another thing they could improve is how they create the data model for my bank's detection data. From what I understand, they already have the capability to do that. But the data being processed in my bank, the ones they can process, is not really much. Maybe it's just a mistake on my part. But in terms of AI other than machine learning that they've already implemented, I have not seen any significant use case.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Entrust Transaction Guard monitors transactions between core banking applications."
"Entrust Transaction Guard monitors transactions between core banking applications."
"FICO is working on a local model specifically for Brazil, whereas tools from Oracle and other vendors are only developed for general use. I haven't seen any other vendors who think like that until now."
"It can make real-time decisions or real-time declines."
 

Cons

"Entrust has an issue with support."
"Entrust has an issue with support. The technical support hardly ever involves getting an Entrust person to help on calls, and they often refer only to the documentation."
"When setting up rules or parameters, some coding is required, and the learning curve is quite steep."
"I've had bad experiences with FICO support. At the bank, we've faced critical problems where we only had minutes to find the solution, and it's hard to explain quickly. We contacted FICO, but they told us it was beyond their scope of support. They try to triage the call by asking us how much money we're losing, but I can't go into that."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The functionality is fine, but the price is getting more expensive."
"FICO is one of the best fraud detection platforms. However, a small bank might find it too expensive. In that case, I would agree it's probably not worth it. However, it's a no-brainer if your bank has 50 million accounts and 7 million credit card transactions daily."
