Adyen vs. Authorize.net

Wherever a payments solution needs to be offered relatively fast, it's easy to set up and powerful, with strong technical capabilities. It works well both in settings where there isn't a dedicated payments department or team, as it can be customised with relative ease and low technical know-how

Authorize.net is reliable and I feel confident that customers' information is protected. The security protocols used by Authorize.net appear to be as good, and probably better than many credit card payment processors. However, the initial setup process was very difficult. I distinctly recall getting up and running as being very cumbersome and time-consuming. I also was disappointed with how the processing and deposit of payments were not consistent. I distinctly remember regretting the decision to go with Authorize.net. However, as mentioned before, with the time and effort required to get the account set up and running, I refused to go through the process again and try a different provider.

• I would like to be able to create my own reports, like a combination between "Received payment details" and "Interactive payment accounting".
• Maybe you can have a better integration with PayPal. The disputes are reflected all wrong in Adyen, for example if we accept a chargeback in PayPal, in Adyen we see a "chargeback reversed" status first, then we see a "refund" status. This is very confusing for us, we have accepted that chargeback, which means we have lost the case, what are a Chargeback Reversed and a Refund statuses doing here? I think PayPal is trying to unblock the transaction that received the chargeback, but this is a very confusing way of handling the chargebacks. If I look at the "Dispute transaction details" reports, all the PayPal chargebacks are "won" because of that "Chargeback reversed" status, which is obviously wrong, we lose some cases and we win others.
• Amex chargebacks could be integrated. We don't see them in Adyen at all.

• The lack of data portability is a big issue for me.
• Authorize.net uses the same $49.00 gateway setup fee to scam merchants out of money, which is no better than any of the other gateways out there.
• Their customer service is not up to the mark. You can get stuck if you need any help from their end.

Response time are as expected, and Adyen team is always knowledgeable and are clear subject matter experts. Quite often I am assigned an engineer who is not in our time zone and sometimes 8-12 hours different from me. This causes delays in resolution due. It would be great to have a support agent who is located in the US.

I have no experience directly with the support offered by Authorize.Net.

Ayden has proved to be much more reliable with transactions and faster at completing them. We also have been benefited by their affordable rates and that it doesn't feel like a scheme to take from our profits. Lastly, the reports they provide help us to know what next steps we should take as a company, thankful for that direction.

We had previously used SAGE and Transaction Express. We've also explored Stripe, Amazon Pay, and Apple Pay as parallel payment options. In every situation, Authnet has better rates with fewer strings attached. It has also proven to have a significantly rich API which is a must-have for any solution we implement.

• After implementing payment integration, payment of B2B orders is instant which really helps business financial planning.
• Using Adyen payment integration, businesses are also able to provide payment options based on their geography.
• It provides multi-currency support.
• It also provides key and secret-based security for sites and origin.

• Lets us charge cards so we can get paid on time, every time.
• It was very difficult to setup the DocuSign integration the first time, but after we got it setup, it's made the onboarding process very easy. That probably saves about 30 minutes every time we get a new client.
