The features were pretty straightforward
I used IBM Trusteer for years and loved it until 2017. Then, after a Windows update, it started acting up. It blocked several programs including Malwarebytes (which I had been using for longer than Trusteer). It became inactive after the Windows update and I had to remove Trusteer, allowing my…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The features were pretty straightforward. I just used them as I went along with very little interference all the years that I have used it."
"Ingestion of logs and raising alert space on those logs are the most valuable features."
"Our customer are seeing value from the product, as they experience cost reductions. They can stop fraud from their customers, then their customers can have a better experience from their services."
"The most valuable feature is the stock tokens. That works the best for us."
"The capability to manage your business policy related to security when required without vendor involvement."
"Risk Engine’s risk score, eFN, GeoIP, and device binding all coming together in the Policy Rules to decide when to escalate to MFA."
 

Cons

"After a Windows update, it started acting up. It blocked several programs. It became inactive after the Windows update and I had to remove Trusteer, allowing my computer to go back to its norm."
"I would like them to make it as user-friendly as possible. Simplicity is what we need. Load and go."
"The product is basically unusable. We need better ease of use; it's overly complicated."
"It has taken years to implement."
"Reporting modules is one of the major areas that can be improved further."
"I would like to see a more adaptive type of solution, something that we could use on our web pages..."
"Better filters when searching for events. The current features for current filters when searching fraud events are not very comprehensive. You can only filter by certain fields in the transaction."
"RSA Adaptive Authentication lacks a mechanism to verify the identity of a new user in the Enrollment event workflow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Keep the proxy service layer on premises. That consumes SaaS security services on the back-end."
"You may need to opt for second best if funding is low and the number of users is huge. However, the pricing is able to be negotiated if your user figures are huge."
"The pricing is $50 per head, yearly."
"Customers need to deploy the solution in a very expensive infrastructure. RSA should should think about a less expensive infrastructure for customers because the solution costs around $100,000, and the infrastructure needed to support that solution may be even more expensive than that price."
