Stable with good behavioral biometrics and great technical support
BioCatch is one of the fraud detection tools which also has machine learning capabilities and it has what is called a machine learning model feature. It is run in the background. The consequence of those machine models is it is complex to perform data functions and the activity and programming techniques. The decision-making for determining what's happening within those models is a little bit complex and not at all transparent. It's not easy for businesses to understand how the model is using the data of the bank customers in order to come to the assumption it does. All of these things are background technologies and the business may not understand what's happening in the background. The customer will never know what tools are being used to monitor the fraud at all, however, the business manager should certainly be interested in knowing how this model is working. People in banks are very particular when it comes to approving these models, as they have to be accountable to the regulators on the other side. They need to understand and explain what customer data is being consumed, why it's being consumed and if it's consumption is endangering any privacy rights. There needs to be clarity in terms of how much anonymization of the data happens before BioCatch comes in. I might have a gap in knowledge, and the solution may have been updated since I used it in December of last year.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can track mouse movements as well as the actual oriental moments of such as the movement of devices, how they are held, and the angles which at they are held. All these are captured for customers and a behavioral profile is built for the customer over a period of time. This would be matched against any fraudulent behavior. If, for example, suddenly a customer account seems to be accessed by our profile, which is not one particular customer account, if the movements or habits are suspect, we can catch the fraud and shut it down."
"The most valuable feature is automation which makes our transaction capture 40 percent easier."
"The solution loads big data efficiently and quickly."
"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."
"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's technical support is good."
"The core engine seems to be better than the rest for pattern recognition. It is able to process large amounts of data."
"I like the tracking methodology. Though it was implemented on-premises, the compliance is compatible with it. It will have certain modifications with RPM and APR. It has good exposure from a compliance point of view."
 

Cons

"BioCatch is one of the fraud detection tools which also has machine learning capabilities and it has what is called a machine learning model feature. It is run in the background. The consequence of those machine models is it is complex to perform data functions and the activity and programming techniques. The decision-making for determining what's happening within those models is a little bit complex and not at all transparent. It's not easy for businesses to understand how the model is using the data of the bank customers in order to come to the assumption it does."
"Sometimes when we move from one version to another, a few things don't work as expected."
"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."
"Processes don't function when front end is down."
"The solution needs to mitigate and provide an update for one listener process that keeps failing."
"Its user interface could be better."
"This solution is unnecessarily complex."
"I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"I don't like the length of our vendor contracts because it kills our flexibility."
"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."
