We are using the product for 3D Secure authentication and fraud prevention
For CA Risk Analytics, we would like to have some statistics available, to do some counting on the number of transactions for example. Also, to have the ability not only for 3D Secure, but accross all online channels. Online banking and App. Because then you would have three online channels. You would have the same device data, so you can combine it. So then you would have an online banking platform, an app, and 3D Secure all from one supplier. This supplier would support all of our authentication methods across those three channels. That's our ultimate goal to have one supplier to support all three online channels.

The setup is not complex. It is pretty standard. I rate the ease of setup a nine out of ten. The deployment time depends on the applications and environment into which we integrate it. The product provides a lot of API documentation. The product is cloud-based. One or two people are enough to deploy the solution. We need some maintenance when new versions or patches need to be upgraded. It requires minimal maintenance.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The service works as described, the Admin console is very good along with customer service, and the management support, which is excellent."
"In terms of the fraud that we see on the card site, card not present fraud, the person gives contribution to what the total fraud has increased substantially."
"This is a good product, which is easy to deploy and has lot of user friendly features."
"For a bank, we've seen transactions move to e-commerce. We needed a solution that would protect the bank and protect the bank's cardholders, and that's what this solution gives us."
"I think for us, the value that we get out of CA is their effective scheme diagnostics."
"Helped reduce 3-D Secure losses to one of the lowest in the industry while having minimal customer impact."
"Let's put it this way, it's like going from Larder to a Ferrari."
"I advise anyone that is looking for a payment security product to choose this solution."
"Technical support is great; we have weekly meetings with them and they've been, honestly, outstanding."
"The profiling of it that can show me many of the details of the client, the speed is very good, and the way they set up rules from their experience, like collecting the rules from other banks and other enterprises, is very helpful."
"Accessible custom rules with a monthly update on performance."
"It is a stable solution."
"The solution can be easily integrated with applications."
"The most valuable thing is about the IP. They have a database of malicious IP addresses against which they check. They have a huge database for routed devices and the devices that have been used in the past to commit fraud. They have extensive historical records of all of that information, and that's probably the most valuable thing about ThreatMetrix. Over the years, they have been collecting and persisting globally across all the banking and financial services. They have been storing all this information. It is this stored information that I and my team find valuable; it is not so much their technology. If you are running it on a simulator and trying to maliciously clone and copy IP addresses and stuff like that, they have a bunch of technologies, like routes section and all the other stuff. It is just that they have something that no one else can deal with, that is, massive amounts of big data about the malicious IP addresses, malicious device fingerprinting, the fingerprinting router devices, and the fingerprints. You can query against this stored information to find out whether your app is in a good, nice environment. If yes, you get a green light. The last time I checked, there were about 400 or 500 features that they can stack against, which is pretty extensive. They give you a score against all those features for every application that you installed on it. It is pretty good in that sense."
"The user interface, the portal, is very helpful in describing what attributes of concern are associated with the device."
"The solution is stable."
 

Cons

"At the moment, getting into that rich data is quite an effort."
"We need more improvement in the Arcot console, which is used in monitoring 3DS transactions for example caching real time transactions rather than getting them after two or three hours."
"The pricing construct can be very cumbersome."
"I think improvements for us, it's making it simple enough that anybody can understand how it works."
"In the first two years, there were several issues with stability."
"Unifying operational changes around highlighting. If you highlight one item, it will highlight the one card that's affected across the board."
"There have been service outages/incidents and work has to be chased, for completion or comment."
"Sometimes, there is a bit of language issue of understanding problems."
"I think the solution has some way to go in terms of its user-friendly nature, and in terms of some of the dashboards and metrics that it provides."
"SDK is probably where the biggest issue is. The SDK configuration is a bit lacking, and if you are integrating it into your workflow, it is very cumbersome and very difficult to integrate."
"Could be more intuitive and user friendly."
"It would be useful if they could offer real-time processing."
"We encountered a few issues with API calls to the solution."
"One limitation is it only maintains six months' worth of data. It would be nice if it went back even further to help us really identify and flush out patterns that go on longer."
"SDK is probably where the biggest issue is. The SDK configuration is a bit lacking. If you are integrating it into your workflow, it is very cumbersome and very difficult to integrate. You have to understand and be an expert in low-level mobile applications to integrate this stuff. Integration should be easy based on what they are providing, but unfortunately, it is not. It is very difficult. My work has been trying to simplify the integration process because integrations bring a lot of value. Most companies don't see their value because it is such a difficult process. For integration, you have to get it right as well, but it is very difficult to get it right because they don't help you in tuning your future parameters. Because of this, it is very difficult to tune your future parameters and your risk score. If you are Uber, your risk score will be very different from a banking client that is pushing funds. These two things need to be improved for me. The rest is pretty good."
"The tool is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Utilize the transaction pricing model versus the active cards because the ability to monitor active cards hasn’t been good."
"I am not aware of the price. I have always come in after it has been negotiated. The clients do get a return on their investment. It mitigated a massive DDoS, and it definitely detects fraudulent activities on banking platforms. They have definitely got their ROI back because there is continued investment in ThreatMetrix over time."
