Monitors transactions effectively but needs better support and more advanced AI
Entrust Transaction Guard monitors transactions between core banking applications. It offers integrations to many platforms, compatibility, and easy API integrations, providing effective fraud detection. The product reduces fraud for customers, especially within the financial services industry, by protecting transactions such as online payments and card usage. Without such solutions, online banking would face significant challenges.
RK
AML Compliance Analyst at HCLTech
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

"Entrust Transaction Guard monitors transactions between core banking applications."
"We don't have problems with stability and scalability, and it is a definitely scalable product that from the user point of view has the scalability to handle an adequate workload."
"It has improved my organization because whenever there are transactions in high-risk countries that have a stricter set of rules, it alerts us to it, we can check to see if these are genuine transactions, and if it's suspicious we can see if we need to block or prevent those transactions."
"Previously there were processes in place but not completely automatic; with NICE Actimize those processes have now been completely automated and we now receive a comprehensive view of exactly what risks are involved with a particular scenario, providing a complete picture which helps in rational decision making quicker."
"The solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products."
"To be honest, I had never used a similar application before but based on my experiences using Actimize, it's a solid application and very user-friendly as well."
"Actimize provides a safe solution that helps keep their reputation intact."
"They have a very expansive transaction monitoring fleet. They have a lot of models and rules to choose from. Its flexibility or ability to customize a model is very impressive as compared to other platforms."
"The tool helped my clients track some fraudulent activities which couldn’t have been possible without the solution. Once the solution is deployed, the system of the client needs to be upgraded and overhauled to reflect the new system. The end users can see the benefits of it. The integration of the solution is increasing the customer base of our clients since more customers from other banks have decided to join the client bank due to the level of security."
 

Cons

"Entrust has an issue with support. The technical support hardly ever involves getting an Entrust person to help on calls, and they often refer only to the documentation."
"Entrust has an issue with support."
"Personally, I found the technical support to be a little slow. Sometimes this impacts our project timing which is also a problem for our end-users as well."
"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."
"Processes don't function when front end is down."
"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."
"Could include additional customization"
"Its user interface could be better."
"I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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