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.

Integrates well, reasonably priced, and the technical support is helpful
The most valuable features of this solution are the scoring and the yes, or no function. I am satisfied with the documentation it provides. It integrates well with other products The user interface could be more intuitive. I have been familiar with Riskified for three years. Riskified is a…

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 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."
"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 case management tool is user friendly."
"Nice's most valuable feature would be its rule engine."
"The solution loads big data efficiently and quickly."
"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's technical support is good."
"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."
"Our clients have definitely avoided losing money on multiple occasions due to fraud."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the scoring and the yes, or no function."
"The scoring mechanism is good."
 

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. 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 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."
"Sometimes when we move from one version to another, a few things don't work as expected."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
"Licensing costs are high compared to other products in the market."
"The solution needs to mitigate and provide an update for one listener process that keeps failing."
"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."
"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."
"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 can't think of any issues that we've faced that need to be improved."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"The fraud channel is a sensitive spot, so it's always complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is reasonable for enterprise customers."
"I don't like the length of our vendor contracts because it kills our flexibility."
"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."
"Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is an expensive product."
"It is determined by the requirements of each company."
