We didn't really compare other solutions since this one beat them out on pricing right now so it met our budget. There were a few other options we found using Google search and review sites like TrustRadius but nothing was really fitting our needs. We wanted a company in the …
Onfido is well suited for integrations within a mobile app for automated document processing and validation e.g. driver's licenses, passports etc. Onfido is less well suited for web applications since the quality and accuracy of the checks is very dependent on the quality of the image captured which in general is less high quality from a webcam.
The software is used well for us since we wanted to cut down on incorrect invoicing and fraudulent purchase orders from our distributors. We were dealing with some fake transactions that then were sent through our sales pipeline and ultimately were paid out. For businesses that are looking for 3rd party verifications to prevent these types of mistakes it has worked well.
Some of the top parts is the speed at which the checks can be completed. Usually customers get notified right away and then complete it within a few minutes. Other solutions we had to wait a long time for the customer to fill out the information needed.
We also liked the pricing structure as it fit our budget and allowed us to have enough security without giving up many features. This balance was important to see what we needed to pay extra for such as lookups on government databases.
Having the branding and customization was another benefit as we could match all the themes and different collection points to our own tools.
Dashboard - current analytics are very high level pass, consider, fail - would like a more detailed breakdown of reasons why consider / fail aggregated in an easy to view format.
Speed consistency - sometimes Onfido checks are very fast, sometimes it takes a lot longer
OCR - we had issues with OCR data quality and had to add a step for users to verify information captured via OCR from Driver's Licenses.
Trust Swiftly was simply easy to get started. The amount of settings and choices overwhelmed us at first but it made since now that we dealt with a lot of fraud. Having each verification allows us to expand our operations to more customers and our team feels comfortable logging in each day to use..
Ultimately went with Onfido due to previous experience with applications & products that had worked with Onfido and from research Onfido appeared to be one of the main providers in the space providing reassurance internally on use of relatively new technology. Onfido security and compliance was also standout helping pass internal audits by cybersecurity and legal. Downside with Onfido is that the pricing model is complex and relies on accurate predictions of platform/user growth to secure the best price-per-check which is challenging in a startup environment.
We only briefly checked some other options but mostly they were unable to meet the requirements of our industry of payments. There were no tools that could do payment verification for us, so that is what made us select trust swiftly first. The other costs and pricing were not clear so we went with the most open pricing.
Our business has been able to save on fraudulent withdrawals from winnings by using the tool. We already caught a few cases where we would have lost thousands of dollars. It was a immediate impact and the savings were easily worth it in the grand schemes of things.
We saw a spike on sucessful signups too since before we had more of a slow manual process to onboard and withdraws. After putting it in place we could expand the processing and get faster payout times.
