Featured Review
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 ability to create your own ruleset and edit it whenever you want. Their reporting functionality is very helpful. It's really robust.""It's an in-depth, all-in-one solution.""The initial setup was absolutely straightforward. Within a week I was fully working."

More Kount Pros →

"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.""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 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 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.""The alerts are the most valuable feature because we have different alerts. Different data is fed to Actimize. It alerts us if a transaction happened from a certain place.""The solution is easier to set up, configure, and use than other products.""It's a very good case management system."

Cons
"The time that is taken to go to Kount and come back should be in the order of around 100 milliseconds or less. And our context was taking around 200 to 300 milliseconds. We didn't want the extra load of 100 milliseconds to happen, so if the two rounds of stability could be cut to one, that would be very helpful.""The rule system and automation could be expanded a little bit more.""They could do a little bit better with chargeback management. There are other solutions out there that I've heard about, like Accertify that have a better chargeback platform where they're integrated more with the banks or in terms of how the workflow is and how you can respond to chargebacks."

More Kount Cons →

"Could include additional customization""One of the problems that our clients generally talk about is the price of the product when they have to purchase the product and the licenses for it. Those are on the higher side.""Licensing costs are high compared to other products in the market.""This solution is unnecessarily complex.""I would say — Actimize is not being moved forward by Nice.""The solution needs to mitigate and provide an update for one listener process that keeps failing.""Sometimes when we move from one version to another, a few things don't work as expected.""It has become too complex for its own good with a lot of versions. They are trying to do too much. Instead of keeping it sort of traditional and keeping the core search engine as a standalone and having analytical bolt-ons, they have decided to jam it all into the same product, which made the product overly complex and difficult to implement."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I think the pricing is great — I think it's totally worth what they're charging because the benefits are great."
  • More Kount Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "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 like the length of our vendor contracts because it kills our flexibility."
