A flexible solution with a quick to navigate interface
The rule-writing language could be improved to make it more understandable. I was familiar with the Falcon expert language to write rules, so I had to get used to the new language used in this solution. In the next release, as an additional feature, it will be good to have the capability to sort and play visual effects in the fields. This will help to distinguish each record from the other. For example, we currently have a bar that shows if a person has a high or low score. If the score is 35%, the bar is considered low, and if the score moves to 99%, the bar increases. However, we don't have the capability as interface users to make this function appear in other fields where we want it displayed. We have only the score field, which is pre-configured with this functionality.

It can set rules to identify suspicious activity at each point of sale during every transaction
I previously worked at Santander Bank FICO and Oracle. It was only about six months. FICO is working on a local model specifically for Brazil, whereas tools from Oracle and other vendors are only developed for general use. I haven't seen any other vendors who think like that until now. Our solution here in Brazil doesn't work for Europe, Africa, the USA, Canada, or Mexico. It's unique to Brazil and designed based on the transaction patterns of people living here. FICO has all the information on our transactions, and the logs of old transactions are on the central server. It's the same for other banks like Fordesco, Santandar, CitiBank, etc. All these banks send their transactions to the server, and FICO Analytics uses all the information about transactions in Brazil to build a model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its zero degradation model. You don't have to train the model every three to six months, and it automatically functions."
"FICO is working on a local model specifically for Brazil, whereas tools from Oracle and other vendors are only developed for general use. I haven't seen any other vendors who think like that until now."
"It can make real-time decisions or real-time declines."
 

Cons

"The rule-writing language could be improved to make it more understandable."
"I've had bad experiences with FICO support. At the bank, we've faced critical problems where we only had minutes to find the solution, and it's hard to explain quickly. We contacted FICO, but they told us it was beyond their scope of support. They try to triage the call by asking us how much money we're losing, but I can't go into that."
"When setting up rules or parameters, some coding is required, and the learning curve is quite steep."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable. It is not cheap, but it is fair."
"The functionality is fine, but the price is getting more expensive."
"FICO is one of the best fraud detection platforms. However, a small bank might find it too expensive. In that case, I would agree it's probably not worth it. However, it's a no-brainer if your bank has 50 million accounts and 7 million credit card transactions daily."
