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.

A good designer for the UI, stable, and scalable
I give the solution a ten out of ten. Unlike other technologies, Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is partially pre-built, making it easy to understand what needs to be done and how to complete the work. Furthermore, due to the pre-existing code, there is no need to start from scratch, providing a better understanding of the current situation and what needs to be implemented. Our organization moved to Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management because the solution is an upgraded version and also it provides many benefits as we can easily activate rules. Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is very convenient and it provides easy access to everything. When utilizing the solution for the first time, always start with a lower environment such as a development environment. Only use Dell and SIT, and do not go directly to production. The solution may have an impact on the bank and large transactions.

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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution user-friendly interactive, informative and it is also very light."
"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."
"It's a very good case management system."
"The core engine seems to be better than the rest for pattern recognition. It is able to process large amounts of data."
"The solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products."
"The most valuable feature is automation which makes our transaction capture 40 percent easier."
 

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."
"Processes don't function when front end is down."
"Its user interface could be better."
"The solution needs to mitigate and provide an update for one listener process that keeps failing."
"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."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
"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."
"I would like for it to proactively give suggestions or hints before initiating the transaction. It could make use of the data that has already occurred, like machine learning. It should learn patterns from specific countries."
 

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."
