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.

Unified fraud and AML protection has reduced losses while configuration still needs to be simpler
SEON Fraud Prevention is not almost 100% accurate, but some areas where it can be improved are on the learning curve. It is a tech-savvy platform and requires the users to be also tech-savvy. When paired or left in the hands of people who do not understand the emerging issues in fraud detection and AI or machine learning, they are not able to run the platform well. This may expose the company to any form of fraud and lead to big losses. Furthermore, this is a platform that suits mid-sized and large enterprises who handle more customers and who have more frequency of fraud occurring. This phenomenon locks out small business users as they do not have that high risk or do not have that high frequency of being targeted by scammers or fraudsters. Those are some of the areas where it can be improved. The initial configuration is an area for improvement. To make it secure and customizable, you have to configure it to suit your organization. Whether you are in the fintech industry, in insurance, or in a money handling business, you have that configuration period and it takes quite some time. This slows down the rate of usage of the platform.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"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 initial setup was absolutely straightforward. Within a week I was fully working."
"We avoid losses in multiple ways with Kount."
"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."
"With SEON Fraud Prevention in place, we have saved money that could have been targeted by scammers by around 50%, which has also grown our profitability by around 30% and proves we have seen a return on our investment."
 

Cons

"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 rule system and automation could be expanded a little bit more."
"They could do a little bit better with chargeback management."
"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."
"SEON Fraud Prevention is not almost 100% accurate, but some areas where it can be improved are on the learning curve."
 

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."
