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 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."
"The most valuable feature is automation which makes our transaction capture 40 percent easier."
"The most valuable feature is the designer, which allows us to connect to UI and build things directly, such as creating a platform with our synchronizing policy manager rules, without any additional requirements."
"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 solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products."
"We don't have problems with stability and scalability, and it is a definitely scalable product that from the user point of view has the scalability to handle an adequate workload."
"Actimize provides a safe solution that helps keep their reputation intact."
"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 solution user-friendly interactive, informative and it is also very light."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would like them to make it as user-friendly as possible. Simplicity is what we need. Load and go."
"During integration, it is difficult to fully integrate within a specified time, primarily because code snippets must be installed on every page."
"From the front end side, the UI is definitely user-friendly. It is highly compatible as long as the reading is at the coding point of view. But it can't provide certain high coding. When a person clicks on any kind of scenario or alert, I would like to have a metadata help menu."
"Licensing costs are high compared to other products in the market."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
"It has become too complex for its own good with a lot of versions."
"Personally, I found the technical support to be a little slow. Sometimes this impacts our project timing which is also a problem for our end-users as well."
"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."
"I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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