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.

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

"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 stable."
"The clients do get a return on their investment; it mitigated a massive DDoS, and it definitely detects fraudulent activities on banking platforms."
"It is a stable solution."
"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."
"The user interface, the portal, is very helpful in describing what attributes of concern are associated with the device."
"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."
"There is excellent documentation available."
"The most valuable feature the solution has is that it is able to do a fairly accurate fraud assessment of a credit card transaction based on a variety of parameters configured by the merchant."
 

Cons

"It is a little bit costly."
"Occasionally, there are some mechanisms that can work a bit slow."
"The tool is very expensive."
"It would be useful if they could offer real-time processing."
"It would be useful if they could offer real-time processing."
"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."
"Could be more intuitive and user friendly."
"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."
"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."
"The interface does look a bit outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If your company has the budget, I would absolutely recommend SAS."
"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."
