Senior Full Stack Java Developer at a financial services firm with 10,001+ employees
Has enabled real-time risk-based authentication using behavioral insights across multiple channels
We experienced some stability issues including API latency, SDK initialization failures, and session ID correlation. We mitigated these by synchronous SDK loading, monitoring API performance, ensuring fallbacks for unsupported devices, and regular session validation. Load testing and error logging also help maintain reliability at scale. Currently, I do not have anything to say on present features of BioCatch because we use it frequently but have not explored it completely. As a Java developer, I work on both front-end and back-end. If something could be developed in BioCatch, I see potential in how users interact with devices, such as typing patterns. Also, integration-friendly aspects, such as the lightweight SDK for web, native, and iOS and Android SDKs, along with continuous authentication, real-time risk scoring, and multiple fraud detection models such as account takeover and bot detection, would be beneficial. It could work across web and mobile platforms while maintaining privacy and compliance.

Easy transaction monitoring but requires improvement in handling high user volumes
We can definitely improve the Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management tool because I sometimes encounter issues while searching for particular customer transactions; it results in errors and I cannot easily find specific transactions. If there is improvement in those points, we can easily identify customer details and detect spikes in transactions to cover money laundering. Regarding specific features, I think AI should be implemented in the Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management tool. AI should be integrated for better analysis and suggestions because nowadays, AI is very important for all organizations. If implemented, it can easily identify transaction details, reducing the need for extra manpower.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features of BioCatch include analyzing how users interact and creating unique profiles for each user, which is what I appreciate most."
"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."
"It's a very good case management system."
"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 most valuable feature is the designer, which allows us to connect to UI and build things directly, such as creating a platform with our synchronizing policy manager rules, without any additional requirements."
"The solution loads big data efficiently and quickly."
"I like the score generated on the Actimize platform for each customer transaction. Those are transactions per second, accommodating millions of transactions per second. That's the best feature of Actimize."
"The core engine seems to be better than the rest for pattern recognition. It is able to process large amounts of data."
"The process and technology in the solution are very fast, and it is bug-free."
 

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."
"We experienced some stability issues including API latency, SDK initialization failures, and session ID correlation."
"Sometimes when we move from one version to another, a few things don't work as expected."
"The solution needs to mitigate and provide an update for one listener process that keeps failing."
"Licensing costs are high compared to other products in the market."
"I would like for it to proactively give suggestions or hints before initiating the transaction. It could make use of the data that has already occurred, like machine learning. It should learn patterns from specific countries."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
"One of the problems that our clients generally talk about is the price of the product when they have to purchase the product and the licenses for it. Those are on the higher side."
"It is complex in terms of daily maintenance. Other detection platforms run on a 15-day or one-month window, whereas this particular platform runs daily. Therefore, it requires daily maintenance. If there is a delay due to this daily maintenance, it creates a snowball effect impacting the subsequent days. It takes a lot of effort to catch up and get into BAU mode. It would be great if they could include certain features to make the daily processing less complex, but I don't see that happening. It is a complex product, and with each version release, it is just becoming more and more complex."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We need a separate license for each of the packages, such as the core package, self-development package, and customization package."
"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."
"I don't like the length of our vendor contracts because it kills our flexibility."
"It is reasonable for enterprise customers."
"Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is an expensive product."
