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.
RK
AML Compliance Analyst at HCLTech
Easy transaction monitoring but requires improvement in handling high user volumes
We can definitely improve the Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management tool because I sometimes encounter issues while searching for particular customer transactions; it results in errors and I cannot easily find specific transactions. If there is improvement in those points, we can easily identify customer details and detect spikes in transactions to cover money laundering. Regarding specific features, I think AI should be implemented in the Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management tool. AI should be integrated for better analysis and suggestions because nowadays, AI is very important for all organizations. If implemented, it can easily identify transaction details, reducing the need for extra manpower.

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."
"Previously there were processes in place but not completely automatic; with NICE Actimize those processes have now been completely automated and we now receive a comprehensive view of exactly what risks are involved with a particular scenario, providing a complete picture which helps in rational decision making quicker."
"The tool helped my clients track some fraudulent activities which couldn’t have been possible without the solution. Once the solution is deployed, the system of the client needs to be upgraded and overhauled to reflect the new system. The end users can see the benefits of it. The integration of the solution is increasing the customer base of our clients since more customers from other banks have decided to join the client bank due to the level of security."
"To be honest, I had never used a similar application before but based on my experiences using Actimize, it's a solid application and very user-friendly as well."
"It's a very good case management system."
"The process and technology in the solution are very fast, and it is bug-free."
"The most valuable feature is automation which makes our transaction capture 40 percent easier."
"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."
"They have a very expansive transaction monitoring fleet. They have a lot of models and rules to choose from. Its flexibility or ability to customize a model is very impressive as compared to other platforms."
 

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."
"It has become too complex for its own good with a lot of versions. They are trying to do too much. Instead of keeping it sort of traditional and keeping the core search engine as a standalone and having analytical bolt-ons, they have decided to jam it all into the same product, which made the product overly complex and difficult to implement."
"One of the issues with the product is that when the front end is down, the processes don't work."
"I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice."
"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."
"It is complex in terms of daily maintenance. Other detection platforms run on a 15-day or one-month window, whereas this particular platform runs daily. Therefore, it requires daily maintenance. If there is a delay due to this daily maintenance, it creates a snowball effect impacting the subsequent days. It takes a lot of effort to catch up and get into BAU mode. It would be great if they could include certain features to make the daily processing less complex, but I don't see that happening. It is a complex product, and with each version release, it is just becoming more and more complex."
"Its user interface could be better."
"Processes don't function when front end is down."
"Could include additional customization"
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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