Jahnavi Koppala - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

We need better ease of use; the product is overly complicated
There are many use cases that we have defined based on our business needs Ingestion of logs and raising alert space on those logs are the most valuable features. The product is basically unusable. We need better ease of use; it's overly complicated. It has taken years to implement. We used RSA…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The process and technology in the solution are very fast, and it is bug-free."
"The solution user-friendly interactive, informative and it is also very light."
"The solution loads big data efficiently and quickly."
"The most valuable feature is automation which makes our transaction capture 40 percent easier."
"The solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"The case management tool is user friendly."
"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 capability to manage your business policy related to security when required without vendor involvement."
"Ingestion of logs and raising alert space on those logs are the most valuable features."
"Risk Engine’s risk score, eFN, GeoIP, and device binding all coming together in the Policy Rules to decide when to escalate to MFA."
"Our customer are seeing value from the product, as they experience cost reductions. They can stop fraud from their customers, then their customers can have a better experience from their services."
"The most valuable feature is the stock tokens. That works the best for us."
 

Cons

"Processes don't function when front end is down."
"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."
"Could include additional customization"
"Sometimes when we move from one version to another, a few things don't work as expected."
"The solution needs to mitigate and provide an update for one listener process that keeps failing."
"This solution is unnecessarily complex."
"Its user interface could be better."
"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."
"It has taken years to implement."
"Better filters when searching for events. The current features for current filters when searching fraud events are not very comprehensive. You can only filter by certain fields in the transaction."
"I would like to see a more adaptive type of solution, something that we could use on our web pages..."
"The product is basically unusable. We need better ease of use; it's overly complicated."
"Reporting modules is one of the major areas that can be improved further."
"RSA Adaptive Authentication lacks a mechanism to verify the identity of a new user in the Enrollment event workflow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We need a separate license for each of the packages, such as the core package, self-development package, and customization package."
"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."
"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."
"You may need to opt for second best if funding is low and the number of users is huge. However, the pricing is able to be negotiated if your user figures are huge."
"Keep the proxy service layer on premises. That consumes SaaS security services on the back-end."
"Customers need to deploy the solution in a very expensive infrastructure. RSA should should think about a less expensive infrastructure for customers because the solution costs around $100,000, and the infrastructure needed to support that solution may be even more expensive than that price."
"The pricing is $50 per head, yearly."
