What is our primary use case?
I have been using Arkose for the last four years.
Arkose is a fraud prevention and trust management platform that helps different sectors in the healthcare industry, including healthcare providers, in detecting fraud, attacks, and malicious agent attacks. The platform is always stable, scalable, and is a recognized tool. I chose Arkose Labs as one of the best tools for healthcare applications. In day-to-day use, Arkose is an AI-powered platform that detects fraud evidence for third-party users or unrecognized users if they attempt access. I also use Arkose Device ID, which provides persistent device recognition that tracks fraudsters across multiple accounts, even when device attributes change.
One example of Arkose's capabilities is its focus option, which prevents account takeover, fake account creations, payment fraud, and bot-driven abuse. In my healthcare work, Arkose helps me prevent fake patient accounts or unauthorized access to electronic health records through patient portal security. Another example is medical billing, where Arkose detects fraudulent claims or repeated attempts to exploit billing systems.
Patient portal security is one of the best options and is very useful day-to-day because it prevents fake patient accounts and unauthorized access. AI-driven device fingerprinting is another option that enables identification of valid users and resists different browsers, VPNs, and proxies when connecting to third-party systems. I also use a telemedicine platform option that stops fraudsters from exploiting video consultations or insurance claims. Additionally, clinical trials functionality ensures patient authenticity by blocking bot-driven sign-ups.
How has it helped my organization?
Arkose has helped us reduce fraud costs and saved millions annually. The platform has helped our overall organization by preventing fraudulent billing and fake account creation, saving millions each year on average. Arkose has also improved patient trust in digital healthcare platforms, where trust is more important. Additionally, Arkose provided compliance support for HIPAA files, which contain standard patient information such as date of birth, address, and procedures they undergo. The platform enabled scalable protection across different hospitals, insurances, and telehealth providers.
What is most valuable?
AI-driven device fingerprinting is one of the best features because it detects fraudsters and is resilient to VPNs, proxies, and browser changes. This feature controls all the different VPNs, proxies, and browsers effectively.
Another valuable feature is bot and agent trust management, which detects advanced AI-driven attacks that mimic human behavior. Arkose Labs provides the ability to identify trusted users and valid users effectively.
Fraud deterrence economics is another most-used option that makes fraud costly and unprofitable. This feature allows me to identify fraud and understand what elements make fraudulent activity costly and unprofitable.
Cloud native scalability is another important feature that handles millions of transactions daily from different users who interact with the system. Arkose Labs detects this exceptionally well.
What needs improvement?
Arkose can be improved in several ways. Integration complexity requires alignment with healthcare IT systems, which is an area where Arkose is currently lagging. There is a need to balance security versus patient experience, as overly strict controls frustrate legitimate users who want to access the patient portal without excessive restrictions.
Evolving threats present another challenge. Every day, fraudsters use generative AI to mimic human behavior, which requires Arkose to continually improve its threat detection. Since Arkose handles different systems that need to be controlled over time, there should be regular audits to determine which features need adjustment. Cost-wise, the platform requires improvement, as there is significant cost involved and considerable manual intervention needed, which should be brought into the AI automation.
On an everyday basis, patient login verification sometimes experiences delays when internet issues occur, causing patients to wait long in queue. Insurance claims validation does not always happen easily due to application environment downtime. These operational improvements need to be addressed in Arkose Labs systems.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Arkose is stable. The platform handles versatile requirements, making it a stable tool recognized by Forrester as a strong performer, especially in agent trust management. Arkose supports large healthcare networks and demonstrates strong stability and sustainability.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Arkose is scalable with cloud-based architecture. The platform handles all cloud-native architectures and supports large healthcare systems. Arkose is recognized by Forrester as a strong performer, especially in bot and agent trust management handling. The platform performs very well from a scalability perspective.
How are customer service and support?
Customer service is good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Previously, we were using BioCatch, which handles behavior biometrics and was specialized in financial fraud detection. However, BioCatch was not capable of meeting all of our requirements. We changed to Arkose Labs, which performs very well, especially in handling all of these fraud prevention requirements.
What was our ROI?
Arkose has helped us achieve several benefits. The platform has reduced fraud costs and saved millions annually. Metrics show that our organization has benefited from reduced fraudulent billing and account creation, saving millions each year on average. Arkose has improved patient trust in digital healthcare platforms, where trust is paramount. The platform also provides compliance support for HIPAA files and other healthcare regulations. Arkose enabled scalable protection across different hospitals, insurances, and telehealth providers.
The accuracy and reliability of the output is genuine as it handles sensitive patient information and third-party information. When reports are generated for patients undergoing different surgeries, procedures, or scans, those reports are maintained sensitively in a well-monitored SharePoint where only the particular user can access. Only valid users such as doctors and laboratory technicians can handle these reports. Security-wise and governance-wise, the platform is very good because it does not allow third-party or different persons to access patient information. Arkose's governance and security capabilities in AI are very capable and sustainable, providing increased stability across all use cases and users daily.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Earlier, fraud management used to cost us around 15 million dollars per annum. After using Arkose Labs for fraud control, it helped us save around 9 million dollars. The cost is now 6 million dollars annually. Arkose Labs saved 9 million dollars per year.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
If you are in the healthcare industry and need to detect fraud prevention and manage your platform, Arkose Labs is one of the best tools, as it uses AI to protect organizations. The platform handles healthcare providers from account fraud, bot attacks, and malicious AI agent attacks. Arkose is a very strong tool, especially in bot and agent trust management, and is a reliable choice for healthcare applications.
What other advice do I have?
Governance and security-wise, Arkose is very good, especially regarding data privacy. The platform handles very strong sensitive patient information with no data leakage toward patients, keeping information protected within the system and only providing access to valid users rather than third-party vendors. Constant management also takes place in Arkose Labs, aligning with healthcare governance framework systems without allowing third-party or improper detection users to access information.
Auditability is another strength where logs are always maintained with fraud attempts being reviewed for compliance reporting. Security and governance-wise, Arkose Labs is very good compared to other tools.
Arkose operates on a hybrid cloud deployment model, and we use AWS cloud infrastructure. We purchased Arkose from the AWS marketplace. Licensing at Arkose is organization-level rather than individual-level. While I am more focused on the technical aspects and the finance team handles cost details, the licensing is valid and sophisticated users can access the projects and different options in Arkose Labs. Only valid users who have a license can access the platform.
I have a money-saved example where Arkose Labs saved our organization millions. Earlier, fraud costs were 15 million dollars, but after implementing Arkose Labs, costs came down to 6 million dollars, resulting in 9 million dollars in annual savings.
I would rate this review eight out of ten.
