    NameScan
    In our specific case, NameScan is an interesting piece of software for administratively verifying the identity of those who have to enroll in courses or discuss a Thesis. The fact that NameScan can be integrated with other software (anti-plagiarism, for example, Turnitin) guarantees greater use efficiency. In this case, the integrated verification of identity and possible plagiarism helps us significantly limit fraud.

    We haven't really taken advantages of the full spectrum of what the suite offers, but for the segment that we are using that identifies users across multiple accounts and devices, it performs phenomenally. In the future we'd like to enable auto-banning based on a risk index score that Sift Digital Trust & Safety Suite would contribute to.

    Cons
    NameScan
    • The software still generates confusion, especially in the case of Asian names, often repetitive or similar to each other. In this case, the information it returns is not very accurate.
    • The numerous integrative databases that can be purchased are really very expensive.
    • NameScan is graphically unintuitive.

    NameScan well integrated with our existing system, with less false positives results, where as with AuditGenius we get search results are not that great & sanctions list such as WorldCompliane, Dow Jones not up to mark, we have also issues with integration with our system . NameScan also offer us best competitive price .

    Sift Digital Trust & Safety Suite provided the easiest integration points plus reliability compared to other vendors we evaluated. We were able to incorporate their data into a custom UI of our own to manually audit and ban users.

    • It has allowed us to limit the number of frauds in the context of thesis discussions, especially doctoral ones.
    • NameScan has become fundamental in our university's internalisation to verify, in particular, people arriving from countries at risk.
