Features a large database of fraud signals and indicators to stop fraud in its tracks
At my old company, I used to use a tool called Sift. It's another great tool, but I prefer Kount. The major differences between the two solutions are how they're laid out and how fast you can gather as much information as possible. I personally prefer Kount — that's my personal preference. I've worked with both platforms for many years. I personally prefer Kount for the way that they display information and for the variety and flexibility they offer when it comes to the rules — from very simple to very complex. Kount is better designed for catching fraud, detecting fraud, and preventing fraud. Sift is also great; you will not go wrong if you go with Sift, but I personally prefer Kount.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup was absolutely straightforward. Within a week I was fully working."
"It's an in-depth, all-in-one solution."
"The most valuable feature is its ability to create your own ruleset and edit it whenever you want. Their reporting functionality is very helpful. It's really robust."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the scoring and the yes, or no function."
"The scoring mechanism is good."
"Our clients have definitely avoided losing money on multiple occasions due to fraud."
 

Cons

"The time that is taken to go to Kount and come back should be in the order of around 100 milliseconds or less. And our context was taking around 200 to 300 milliseconds. We didn't want the extra load of 100 milliseconds to happen, so if the two rounds of stability could be cut to one, that would be very helpful."
"They could do a little bit better with chargeback management. There are other solutions out there that I've heard about, like Accertify that have a better chargeback platform where they're integrated more with the banks or in terms of how the workflow is and how you can respond to chargebacks."
"The rule system and automation could be expanded a little bit more."
"The fraud channel is a sensitive spot, so it's always complex."
"The user interface could be more intuitive."
"I can't think of any issues that we've faced that need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think the pricing is great — I think it's totally worth what they're charging because the benefits are great."
"It is determined by the requirements of each company."
