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.

Scalable and easy to use but could have better technical support
The solution is very stable. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. It's reliable and the performance has been very good so far. That said, from my perspective, has had some issues with stability and performance issues in that they have a lot of data and it has some indexing and mechanisms that work a bit slow.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a very good case management system."
"It's a very good product for compliance and transaction monitoring for anti-money laundering."
"The case management tool is user friendly."
"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."
"I like the tracking methodology. Though it was implemented on-premises, the compliance is compatible with it. It will have certain modifications with RPM and APR. It has good exposure from a compliance point of view."
"The solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The security is also very good."
"The solution is very stable; there are no bugs or glitches, it doesn't crash or freeze, and it has been reliable with very good performance so far."
"Presently, the main purpose of SAS is to maintain a centralized platform for all of the verticals — like agriculture, NSME, and home loans — where the bank can monitor everything from one system."
 

Cons

"Sometimes when we move from one version to another, a few things don't work as expected."
"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."
"Licensing costs are high compared to other products in the market."
"Risk Control Monitor, RCM, needs improvement."
"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."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
"I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice."
"One of the issues with the product is that when the front end is down, the processes don't work."
"It is a little bit costly."
"Technical support could be much quicker and much more flexible."
"Occasionally, there are some mechanisms that can work a bit slow."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I don't like the length of our vendor contracts because it kills our flexibility."
"We need a separate license for each of the packages, such as the core package, self-development package, and customization package."
"Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is an expensive product."
"If your company has the budget, I would absolutely recommend SAS."
