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.

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 solution's technical support is good."
"The process and technology in the solution are very fast, and it is bug-free."
"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 loads big data efficiently and quickly."
"I like the score generated on the Actimize platform for each customer transaction. Those are transactions per second, accommodating millions of transactions per second. That's the best feature of Actimize."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is automation which makes our transaction capture 40 percent easier."
"The user interface, the portal, is very helpful in describing what attributes of concern are associated with the device."
"The fact that we were able to much more easily detect if people were using VPN for travels, which country they were accessing the platform from, and we had access to a large amount of new data points that we previously didn't have was really useful for us."
"Technical support is great; we have weekly meetings with them and they've been, honestly, outstanding."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable feature the solution has is that it is able to do a fairly accurate fraud assessment of a credit card transaction, and the rules used in fraud scoring can be based on many transaction attributes such as purchased IP address (country), amount, email address, etc., with scoring rules configured by the merchant."
"The solution can be easily integrated with applications."
"There is excellent documentation available."
"Accessible custom rules with a monthly update on performance."
 

Cons

"Processes don't function when front end is down."
"The patch section has room for improvement."
"Sometimes when we move from one version to another, a few things don't work as expected."
"Risk Control Monitor, RCM, needs improvement."
"I think this solution is unnecessarily complex."
"Minor customizations will help to improve the processes."
"I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice."
"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."
"The pricing could be lower. We are a young company; maybe for big enterprises, price doesn't matter, however, for young companies, price-wise, it's not that good; it's a bit pricey."
"It would be useful if they could offer real-time processing."
"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."
"We encountered a few issues with API calls to the solution."
"We are only using one feature. We haven't found the other features to be very good or very powerful."
"Could be more intuitive and user friendly."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Nice Actimize Fraud & Authentication Management is an expensive product."
"It is reasonable for enterprise customers."
"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."
"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 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."
