Features a large database of fraud signals and indicators to stop fraud in its tracks
At my old company, I used to use a tool called Sift. It's another great tool, but I prefer Kount. The major differences between the two solutions are how they're laid out and how fast you can gather as much information as possible. I personally prefer Kount — that's my personal preference. I've worked with both platforms for many years. I personally prefer Kount for the way that they display information and for the variety and flexibility they offer when it comes to the rules — from very simple to very complex. Kount is better designed for catching fraud, detecting fraud, and preventing fraud. Sift is also great; you will not go wrong if you go with Sift, but I personally prefer Kount.

Scalable and easy to use but could have better technical support
The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance has been very good so far. That said, from my perspective, has had some issues with stability and performance issues in that they have a lot of data and it has some indexing and mechanisms that work a bit slow.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's an in-depth, all-in-one solution."
"We have 100% seen ROI; it helped us quickly identify our areas of fraud, stop us from losing money, start doing business smarter, save good customers, boost our sales, and minimize fraud at the same time."
"We avoid losses in multiple ways with Kount."
"The initial setup was absolutely straightforward. Within a week I was fully working."
"There were other people and other departments using other software, but Kount stood out in payroll because it was already proven and even the payments division was using it."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to create your own ruleset and edit it whenever you want. Their reporting functionality is very helpful. It's really robust."
"Presently, the main purpose of SAS is to maintain a centralized platform for all of the verticals — like agriculture, NSME, and home loans — where the bank can monitor everything from one system."
"The security is also very good."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it has been reliable with very good performance so far."
 

Cons

"They could do a little bit better with chargeback management."
"They could do a little bit better with chargeback management. There are other solutions out there that I've heard about, like Accertify that have a better chargeback platform where they're integrated more with the banks or in terms of how the workflow is and how you can respond to chargebacks."
"The time that is taken to go to Kount and come back should be in the order of around 100 milliseconds or less. And our context was taking around 200 to 300 milliseconds. We didn't want the extra load of 100 milliseconds to happen, so if the two rounds of stability could be cut to one, that would be very helpful."
"The rule system and automation could be expanded a little bit more."
"Technical support could be much quicker and much more flexible."
"It is a little bit costly."
"Occasionally, there are some mechanisms that can work a bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is great — I think it's totally worth what they're charging because the benefits are great."
"If your company has the budget, I would absolutely recommend SAS."
