If you're looking for an End to End fraud solution you should definitely consider Actimize Integrated Fraud Management. Actimize providing great support during implementation process. And i believe both Operations And Analytics teams will find this system very friendly and useful

It works very well as long as your protected forms are located on specific pages.However, it is less suitable if, for example, you have a login form on every page of your website. As a JavaScript needs to be injected on every page for bot detection, which increases the number of license-relevant requests - which may increase your licensing costs

  • On a technical side, we've had a lot of deployment issues. This is not a one-sprint solution.
  • We ran into undocumented failure modes and had to rely on L2 and L3 customer support, delaying troubleshooting significantly [in our experience].
  • Accurate log ingestion is a larger challenge than one would want in a security tool.

Support is quick to respond. They help guide you through any issues you have and ensure everything has been resolved before disconnecting. Wait times can vary, but it depends on the time of day. Eventually, excellent support is reached, and you can learn a few things from them as well.

Implementation of Distributed Cloud is accomplished a few different ways, it would pay to meet with the F5 team and map out your implementation prior to acquisition to make sure you Infrastructure and Operations teams are aligned to the approach and requirements.

As a fraud prevention consultant i worked both with Actimize IFM And Fico Falcon.
For Card Fraud (debit/credit) Falcon has an advantage, but on the end to end fraud Actimize is a better investment.
