Helps determine whether a transaction is correct or fraudulent
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. This allows for transaction analysis. Moreover, it's a highly adaptable solution that can integrate machine learning, both external and internal models, making it easy to implement. Compared to competitors, it's one of the easiest solutions to implement. The tool allows historical data to be leveraged within the system to train models without needing external systems. Secondly, it supports external modeling systems, enabling customers to create and train models outside the product and then integrate them into the system. This is useful for customers who utilize other machine learning and artificial intelligence systems alongside IBM Safer Payments.

Scalable and easy to use but could have better technical support
The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance has been very good so far. That said, from my perspective, has had some issues with stability and performance issues in that they have a lot of data and it has some indexing and mechanisms that work a bit slow.

Pros

"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The security is also very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"Occasionally, there are some mechanisms that can work a bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
"If your company has the budget, I would absolutely recommend SAS."
