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.

Has a good 90-day POC but needs better machine learning and an updated user interface
We primarily use the solution for fraud chargeback, for securing the e-commerce store It's nice to be able to have access to a 90-day POC process. The user interface can be improved upon. The product needs to add more elements of machine learning. In a future release, I'd like to see a…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 initial setup was absolutely straightforward. Within a week I was fully working."
"It's nice to be able to have access to a 90-day POC process."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"The user interface can be improved upon."
 

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."
