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.

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

"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."
"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."
"They have a very expansive transaction monitoring fleet, with a lot of models and rules to choose from, and its flexibility or ability to customize a model is very impressive as compared to other platforms."
"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 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 solution user-friendly interactive, informative and it is also very light."
"We don't have problems with stability and scalability, and it is a definitely scalable product that from the user point of view has the scalability to handle an adequate workload."
"It's a very good case management system."
"The fact that we were able to much more easily detect if people were using VPN for travels, which country they were accessing the platform from, and we had access to a large amount of new data points that we previously didn't have was really useful for us."
"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."
"It is a stable solution."
"Technical support is great; we have weekly meetings with them and they've been, honestly, outstanding."
"The solution can be easily integrated with applications."
"The solution is stable."
"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 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."
 

Cons

"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."
"Personally, I found the technical support to be a little slow. Sometimes this impacts our project timing which is also a problem for our end-users as well."
"I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice."
"Risk Control Monitor, RCM, needs improvement."
"It has become too complex for its own good with a lot of versions."
"I would like for it to proactively give suggestions or hints before initiating the transaction."
"Its user interface could be better."
"One of the issues with the product is that when the front end is down, the processes don't work."
"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."
"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."
"It would be useful if they could offer real-time processing."
"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."
"The interface does look a bit outdated."
"It would be useful if they could offer real-time processing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is an expensive product."
"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 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."
