Riskified vs. VMware AppDefense (discontinued)

Riskified is the perfect tool if your current set up is based in lots of manual review and high chargebacks rate. Once implemented it will inmediately increase the authorization rate as well as decrease the chargeback rate significantly. For a company that needs automated decision on blocking abusers it also makes sense, specially using the Policy protect returns and item limit modules.

Being a VMware product, AppDefense has the advantage of compatibility with all of the VMware product feature updates and patches ( ESXi, NSX, vCenter, etc.). Paired with Carbon Black, it's resource overhead is well-tuned compared to traditional antivirus products.

• I think that the AppDefense approach is clever and sets it apart from other products. Having a baseline of normal behavior that I can see is something I haven't seen in another product before.
• AppDefense doesn't overload my systems with performance draining agents.
• AppDefense integrates with VMWare products I have or plan to purchase.
• Access to AppDefense support has been better than any other VMWare products.

• Missing functionality/ explanation: not having full understanding why some orders with multiple "red flags" are accepted/approved by Riskified
• Missing functionality: It would be great if there was an option to resubmit an order after approving a second look (so that the customer doesn't have to place a second order)
• The support I've received isn't always uniform (sometimes the agent will ask me to provide additional information about an order, sometimes they won't. It seems to be random?)

• Email alerting through AppDefense Manager does not exist, but support has said it is a feature to come.

We are likely to renew our use of Riskified. Their solution has become a critical component of our fraud prevention strategy and day-to-day operations. The combination of increased approval rates, reduced chargeback risk, and operational efficiency has delivered consistent value.
Additionally, their collaborative approach and alignment with our customer experience goals reinforce our confidence in continuing the partnership long term.

It's very easy to use. When an interaction is declined, there's reasoning located on the right side of the screen. It's incredibly easy to use Single-Sign-On to log into the account, and explaining that to new team members is very easy. The process for adding new team members is easy and the FAQ's are very helpful.

The account management is great and very responsive, but as previously mentioned, the company does not seem to be very proactive with spotting exiting integration issues or things that could be wrong from technical point of view. I would like to see Riskified doing more proactive integration monitoring and more regular technical reviews.

The product is still quite new, and there seems to be a lack of technical information available for both the E.U. and support staff. That being said, the support staff that I have worked with have always been very knowledgeable and ensure that they see a ticket through to completion.

I would say that the main difference between Riskified and Signifyd is the level of client service, which drives success in other aspects. We did not have a dedicated account manager with Signifyd, so there was no one to deal with issues. Signifyd's billing is also very messy, and we found that they did not reimburse us for a significant amount of chargebacks. Riskified's billing is easy to reconcile, and we've never had that issue.

We have several security applications, but none exactly like VMware AppDefense. That is one of the reasons I like it, as it seems to take a different angle on monitoring and protection. The other apps monitor different things, but one thing AppDefense seems to have over them is a streamlined interface and not a lot of false positives.

• Since implementing and working with Riskified we have seen a steady decrease in our fraud losses on our e-commerce orders. Riskified is able to quickly adjust its models to mitigate new trends
• By eliminating the need to "challenge" orders we have been able to save on staffing needed for manual review and we have seen a decrease in callback rates for our fraud reviewed orders.

• As with everything now, automation is key. AppDefense effectively monitors the activity on all our VMs, freeing administrators to work on more projects
• Makes it much easier to diagnose issues when system are not running as intended
