Chose Kount, an Equifax company
We have used RDR with our processing company. There was defiantly a lack of knowledge with the processing company when we had questions. Midigator has been very responsive to our needs.
Chose Kount, an Equifax company
We currently have personnel to care for chargebacks. An administrator to keep track of all chargebacks and even retrieve a couple ones that Midigator misses to let us know about. The administrator also helps by notifying the company ahead of time when chargebacks are …
Chose Kount, an Equifax company
Midigator is good because it combines different types of alerts in one place instead of having to subscribe to multiple SOSs' for fraud prevention.

Similar offerings, however, during the set-up process, Chargebacks 911 asked for detailed personal information on the principal owner of our organization. We were not comfortable with assigning corporate liability to an individual person.
Chose Kount, an Equifax company
We utilized Kount and Midigator concurrently for a short period of time. I have zero negatives to share about Kount, but we did not continue with them because we found Midigator to fill all of our current needs. In all truth, Kount and Midigator paired well together to cast a …
Chose Kount, an Equifax company
We didn't use other products when we were first evaluating different options in the space. We actually asked several people who they used and they pretty much all recommended Midigator, so we used them. They've been great to work with and I haven't even thought of switching or …
Chose Kount, an Equifax company
Midigator provides high level professional support any time we have had an issue. The fact that we were able to speak directly to the CEO in the early days of decision making was absolutely a factor. We loved that we could reach directly out to him any time, if needed. Their …
Chose Kount, an Equifax company
Other choices are more expensive and difficult to incorporate, but Kount provides the best value. However, this convenience comes at a price. As a result of this decision, we've opted for a more difficult integration solution, but one that provides far superior fraud detection …
Chose Kount, an Equifax company
Kount is cheaper and less complex to integrate than other options. However, that ease comes with reduced accuracy. The other option we have chosen was much more complex to integrate, but also has way more accuracy in determining actual fraudulent transactions. This can be …
Chose Kount, an Equifax company
Kount is one of the leaders in the industry in fraud prevention, when we analyzed, we stacked it up vs Fraud.net and Amazon Fraud Detector. Kount was the laser focused solution that we were looking for, it brought speed and efficiency to our payment verification method. It was …

Chose NICE Actimize
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.
Chose NICE Actimize
It is widely accepted for its performance and design. They have a Case management tool that is way better than anything else in the market. I believe they have a undying demand in this space of financial crime prevention, compliance and risk management. In recent years it has …
Chose NICE Actimize
Actimize has the better AML surveillance product in my opinion.

A scenario where Midigator is well suited is in the efficient response time. I like how fast Midigator always replies to my emails in a timely manner. I also appreciate how they are willing to go above and beyond always to help me and make sure I have all questions answered always.

Cons
  • RDR alerts are often categorized as chargebacks instead which takes some work on our side to get the numbers just right.
  • While upper management is very responsive and incredibly helpful when an emergency arises, we do not feel like the account managers are very knowledgeable or proactive.

Midigator does what we need and doesn't try to add a bunch of confusing extra functionality we don't need.

We utilized Kount and Midigator concurrently for a short period of time. I have zero negatives to share about Kount, but we did not continue with them because we found Midigator to fill all of our current needs. In all truth, Kount and Midigator paired well together to cast a wide net on potential chargebacks/disputes, and it helped us gain an edge in preventing them. We moved on from Kount because it did not yield as many prevention notices as Midigator, but should the need arise and our budget increase, we'd likely team up to include them to compliment Midigator in having the best chargeback midigator system ever.

Return on Investment
  • Before using Midigator, members would call to cancel their membership and customer service would cancel them and provide a refund. However, the member would also call their bank to dispute the original charge. So, they end up getting double the amount that they paid. Using Midigator, we are able to avoid losing revenue.
