Easy transaction monitoring but requires improvement in handling high user volumes
We can definitely improve the Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management tool because I sometimes encounter issues while searching for particular customer transactions; it results in errors and I cannot easily find specific transactions. If there is improvement in those points, we can easily identify customer details and detect spikes in transactions to cover money laundering. Regarding specific features, I think AI should be implemented in the Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management tool. AI should be integrated for better analysis and suggestions because nowadays, AI is very important for all organizations. If implemented, it can easily identify transaction details, reducing the need for extra manpower.

Enables to identify and analyze real-time incidents and mitigate risks
The setup is not complex. It is pretty standard. I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten. The deployment time depends on the applications and environment into which we integrate it. The product provides a lot of API documentation. The product is cloud-based. One or two people are enough to deploy the solution. We need some maintenance when new versions or patches need to be upgraded. It requires minimal maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products."
"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 process and technology in the solution are very fast, and it is bug-free."
"Nice's most valuable feature would be its rule engine."
"It helps when we go to the regulators and can show them we're using a solution that is a market leader, and it gives us comfort and gives the regulators comfort that our transaction monitoring software is up to scratch."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"Previously there were processes in place but not completely automatic; with NICE Actimize those processes have now been completely automated and we now receive a comprehensive view of exactly what risks are involved with a particular scenario, providing a complete picture which helps in rational decision making quicker."
"The solution loads big data efficiently and quickly."
"There is excellent documentation available."
"The user interface, the portal, is very helpful in describing what attributes of concern are associated with the device."
"The solution can be easily integrated with applications."
"The profiling of it that can show me many of the details of the client, the speed is very good, and the way they set up rules from their experience, like collecting the rules from other banks and other enterprises, is very helpful."
"The most valuable feature the solution has is that it is able to do a fairly accurate fraud assessment of a credit card transaction, and the rules used in fraud scoring can be based on many transaction attributes such as purchased IP address (country), amount, email address, etc., with scoring rules configured by the merchant."
"Technical support is great; we have weekly meetings with them and they've been, honestly, outstanding."
"After using ThreatMetrix solution, we were able to figure out the compromised devices and doing so helped to find that 1400 devices are compromised, and we were able to not allow payment, a standing order, direct debit, or any other kind of payment, and that ultimately protects us and the user."
"The clients do get a return on their investment; it mitigated a massive DDoS, and it definitely detects fraudulent activities on banking platforms."
 

Cons

"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."
"I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice."
"Minor customizations will help to improve the processes."
"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."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
"Could include additional customization"
"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."
"It has become too complex for its own good with a lot of versions."
"SDK is probably where the biggest issue is. The SDK configuration is a bit lacking. If you are integrating it into your workflow, it is very cumbersome and very difficult to integrate. You have to understand and be an expert in low-level mobile applications to integrate this stuff. Integration should be easy based on what they are providing, but unfortunately, it is not. It is very difficult. My work has been trying to simplify the integration process because integrations bring a lot of value. Most companies don't see their value because it is such a difficult process. For integration, you have to get it right as well, but it is very difficult to get it right because they don't help you in tuning your future parameters. Because of this, it is very difficult to tune your future parameters and your risk score. If you are Uber, your risk score will be very different from a banking client that is pushing funds. These two things need to be improved for me. The rest is pretty good."
"We encountered a few issues with API calls to the solution."
"We are only using one feature. We haven't found the other features to be very good or very powerful."
"I think the solution has some way to go in terms of its user-friendly nature, and in terms of some of the dashboards and metrics that it provides."
"One limitation is it only maintains six months' worth of data. It would be nice if it went back even further to help us really identify and flush out patterns that go on longer."
"The pricing could be lower. We are a young company; maybe for big enterprises, price doesn't matter, however, for young companies, price-wise, it's not that good; it's a bit pricey."
"The tool is very expensive."
"SDK is probably where the biggest issue is. The SDK configuration is a bit lacking, and if you are integrating it into your workflow, it is very cumbersome and very difficult to integrate."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't like the length of our vendor contracts because it kills our flexibility."
"Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is an expensive product."
"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 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."
"I am not aware of the price. I have always come in after it has been negotiated. The clients do get a return on their investment. It mitigated a massive DDoS, and it definitely detects fraudulent activities on banking platforms. They have definitely got their ROI back because there is continued investment in ThreatMetrix over time."
