Nikolay Dimitrov - PeerSpot reviewer
Cyber Security Engineer at Paysafe / IBM
Easy to configure and blocks bot attacks for web users
The solution is deployed on the F5 cloud. The solution's real-time analytics help you see what has been blocked. It helps to see whether the attack category was an automation attack or a fake browser. F5 Shape Security has a normal dashboard. We are doing F5 Shape Security migrations for 30 customers. F5 Shape Security uses Javascript. For a lot of competitors, the Javascript can be reverse-engineered by attackers to bypass the protection. F5 Shape Security has machine learning authentication of the Java script. If you had hacked it, the encryption would have been changed. It's really hard for attackers to reverse engineer the F5 Shape Security JavaScript. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

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

"F5 Shape Security's most valuable feature is performance."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ease of configuration."
"The solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products."
"The case management tool is user friendly."
"Nice's most valuable feature would be its rule engine."
"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."
"Actimize provides a safe solution that helps keep their reputation intact."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"It helps when we go to the regulators and can show them we're using a solution that is a market leader, and it gives us comfort and gives the regulators comfort that our transaction monitoring software is up to scratch."
 

Cons

"I want the solution's custom exclusion rules to be more granular."
"The tool's price is high."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
"I think this solution is unnecessarily 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."
"One of the issues with the product is that when the front end is down, the processes don't work."
"I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice."
"Processes don't function when front end is down."
"Licensing costs are high compared to other products in the market."
"The solution needs to mitigate and provide an update for one listener process that keeps failing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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