AI and machine learning capabilities improve fraud management
For IBM Trusteer, one of the advantages is its AI and machine learning capabilities, which are very strong. The solution provides the ability to manage fraud in every session of a user, from login to logout of the user experience. It operates quickly and can intelligently cover a wide range of threats in the field. The Adaptive Authentication feature allows for frictionless operation for the user. Based on its AI intelligence and intelligence sets, it enables frictionless flow and only creates the need for further authentication based on what it has intelligently gathered about that session. Two different users will have different login experiences based on their history and behavioral analysis that tells the system whether to proceed with the transaction or pause it, protecting users from account takeovers or new account frauds. Integration is straightforward using JSON integration. It is easy to integrate with banking solutions or middleware solutions that financial institutions already have, both from the front end and back end. Whether it is a single-paged application or a multi-page application, there are different snippets and code bases for various types of integrations with back-end applications. IBM Trusteer captures customer ID and user ID at every session, enabling it to follow users through their journey through the banking application. It has its own real-time dashboard that allows fraud analysts to quickly make decisions about ongoing activities and determine whether to deny or allow transactions. It protects sensitive information of users through session and transaction-based monitoring, capturing CSID, customer ID, and user ID, enabling analysts to take swift, real-time action.

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

"The features were pretty straightforward, and I just used them as I went along with very little interference all the years that I have used it, and it did its job very well."
"The features were pretty straightforward. I just used them as I went along with very little interference all the years that I have used it."
"The solution provides the ability to manage fraud in every session of a user, from login to logout of the user experience, operates quickly, and can intelligently cover a wide range of threats in the field."
"They have a very expansive transaction monitoring fleet, with a lot of models and rules to choose from, and its flexibility or ability to customize a model is very impressive as compared to other platforms."
"The solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products."
"I like the score generated on the Actimize platform for each customer transaction. Those are transactions per second, accommodating millions of transactions per second. That's the best feature of Actimize."
"The process and technology in the solution are very fast, and it is bug-free."
"It has improved my organization because whenever there are transactions in high-risk countries that have a stricter set of rules, it alerts us to it, we can check to see if these are genuine transactions, and if it's suspicious we can see if we need to block or prevent those transactions."
"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."
"The alerts are the most valuable feature because we have different alerts. Different data is fed to Actimize. It alerts us if a transaction happened from a certain place."
"It helps when we go to the regulators and can show them we're using a solution that is a market leader, and it gives us comfort and gives the regulators comfort that our transaction monitoring software is up to scratch."
 

Cons

"I would like them to make it as user-friendly as possible. Simplicity is what we need. Load and go."
"After a Windows update, it started acting up. It blocked several programs including Malwarebytes and became inactive, and I had to remove Trusteer, allowing my computer to go back to its norm."
"After a Windows update, it started acting up. It blocked several programs. It became inactive after the Windows update and I had to remove Trusteer, allowing my computer to go back to its norm."
"Risk Control Monitor, RCM, needs improvement."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
"Processes don't function when front end is down."
"It would be better if it integrated with other tools. Actimize uses many databases, and everything on Actimize has been deployed to the database. On the customer side, on the front end side, if they focus more on integrating with other applications, it can make the tool better. The reporting feature and dashboards could be better. In the next release, I would like them to incorporate a Tableau-type reporting structure within this tool."
"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."
"Minor customizations will help to improve the processes."
"Could include additional customization"
"One of the issues with the product is that when the front end is down, the processes don't work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It is reasonable for enterprise customers."
"I don't like the length of our vendor contracts because it kills our flexibility."
"Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is an expensive product."
"We need a separate license for each of the packages, such as the core package, self-development package, and customization package."
