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. 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."
"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 case management tool is user friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products."
"The process and technology in the solution are very fast, and it is bug-free."
"The solution loads big data efficiently and quickly."
"It's a very good product for compliance and transaction monitoring for anti-money laundering."
 

Cons

"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."
"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. It became inactive after the Windows update and I had to remove Trusteer, allowing my computer to go back to its norm."
"One of the issues with the product is that when the front end is down, the processes don't work."
"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."
"Could include additional customization"
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This solution is unnecessarily complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
