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 fraud prevention empowers effective decision-making
The features of IBM Safer Payments that I found most valuable are the "what if" scenarios. I find "what if" scenarios very valuable for my use cases because it's easier to simulate the rules that one would want to set up and see what the outcome would be beforehand; it doesn't take too much rework or effort. I have used the transaction scoring feature of IBM Safer Payments. IBM Safer Payments adaptive machine learning models are still under review for improving the accuracy of fraud detection over time; it's not yet been fully realized because the more data you have, the better it is. Currently, the data is being populated, and it's too early to make definitive conclusions. The ability to process large volumes of transactions in real-time for my organization is very important; that will become even more important once we are doing real-time monitoring and scoring. I have benefited from the comprehensive reporting and visualization tools offered by IBM Safer Payments; they are lovely. These tools have assisted in optimizing my fraud prevention strategies because we are still building on a few things, but once you have a 360 view of the customer's transactional history, it's easier to build in rules for flagging anything that comes out of the ordinary, whether it's in terms of the number of transactions, the volume of the transactions, the location of the transactions, or all of them together. It brings in a lot of visibility into the transactional history and patterns for each customer.

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."
"This feature has influenced my decision-making processes because IBM is a big player in this market, and we were looking for someone who could handle the number of transactions that we have, support us, and also had a local presence in the market."
"It's a very fast solution. It can make decisions in 10, 20 or 30 milliseconds. Another feature is that it's a white-box solution. Our clients can see the system's operation, including the rules influencing each decision. Additionally, it's an omnichannel solution capable of utilizing information from various digital channels such as card processing, mobile banking, web banking, APMs, and others."
 

Cons

"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."
"Entrust has an issue with support."
"The tool should enhance its reporting interface by adding more graphical elements like charts, diagrams, etc. Customers now want more vibrant visuals—bright charts with larger tables, perhaps incorporating animations and 3D elements. Sometimes, it's challenging to explain to customers why the current solution, while good, lacks these kinds of visuals."
"My experience with the initial setup of IBM Safer Payments was complex. It was complex because without pre-built-in templates, you need to build integration with different systems."
