A flexible solution with a quick to navigate interface
The rule-writing language could be improved to make it more understandable. I was familiar with the Falcon expert language to write rules, so I had to get used to the new language used in this solution. In the next release, as an additional feature, it will be good to have the capability to sort and play visual effects in the fields. This will help to distinguish each record from the other. For example, we currently have a bar that shows if a person has a high or low score. If the score is 35%, the bar is considered low, and if the score moves to 99%, the bar increases. However, we don't have the capability as interface users to make this function appear in other fields where we want it displayed. We have only the score field, which is pre-configured with this functionality.

Real-time fraud prevention empowers effective decision-making
The features of IBM Safer Payments that I found most valuable are the "what if" scenarios. I find "what if" scenarios very valuable for my use cases because it's easier to simulate the rules that one would want to set up and see what the outcome would be beforehand; it doesn't take too much rework or effort. I have used the transaction scoring feature of IBM Safer Payments. IBM Safer Payments adaptive machine learning models are still under review for improving the accuracy of fraud detection over time; it's not yet been fully realized because the more data you have, the better it is. Currently, the data is being populated, and it's too early to make definitive conclusions. The ability to process large volumes of transactions in real-time for my organization is very important; that will become even more important once we are doing real-time monitoring and scoring. I have benefited from the comprehensive reporting and visualization tools offered by IBM Safer Payments; they are lovely. These tools have assisted in optimizing my fraud prevention strategies because we are still building on a few things, but once you have a 360 view of the customer's transactional history, it's easier to build in rules for flagging anything that comes out of the ordinary, whether it's in terms of the number of transactions, the volume of the transactions, the location of the transactions, or all of them together. It brings in a lot of visibility into the transactional history and patterns for each customer.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its zero degradation model. You don't have to train the model every three to six months, and it automatically functions."
"It's a very fast solution. It can make decisions in 10, 20 or 30 milliseconds. Another feature is that it's a white-box solution. Our clients can see the system's operation, including the rules influencing each decision. Additionally, it's an omnichannel solution capable of utilizing information from various digital channels such as card processing, mobile banking, web banking, APMs, and others."
"This feature has influenced my decision-making processes because IBM is a big player in this market, and we were looking for someone who could handle the number of transactions that we have, support us, and also had a local presence in the market."
 

Cons

"The rule-writing language could be improved to make it more understandable."
"My experience with the initial setup of IBM Safer Payments was complex. It was complex because without pre-built-in templates, you need to build integration with different systems."
"The tool should enhance its reporting interface by adding more graphical elements like charts, diagrams, etc. Customers now want more vibrant visuals—bright charts with larger tables, perhaps incorporating animations and 3D elements. Sometimes, it's challenging to explain to customers why the current solution, while good, lacks these kinds of visuals."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is reasonable. It is not cheap, but it is fair."
"I rate the solution's pricing a seven out of ten."
