Considered Both Products

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.
Chose Kount, an Equifax company
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 Riskified
In my opinion Riskified was more open to discuss and explain in details the servicess that they can offer
Chose Riskified
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, …
Chose Riskified
Riskified has steadily outperformed our previous screening vendor year after year. We continue to see improvements in our approval rates, callback rate, and chargeback rate, as well as a continued effort to improve their products for the most effectiveness possible. Riskified's …
Chose Riskified
Riskified was a one stop shop compared to Kount.
Chose Riskified
These platforms ensure accurate fraud detection, follow-up for disputes, and provide detailed information through reports.
Chose Riskified
We decided in favor of Riskified since cost/benefit wise was the best product. It is maybe less complete than its competitors, but you don't always need to be the "ultimate universal" solution to everything if you do your job well
Chose Riskified
Have not used other products aside from Riskified yet.

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.

  • 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?)

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

We needed to spin up hundreds of accounts very quickly, and their team, within a few days, was able to spin up a custom workflow for our team to do this at scale - they moved heaven and earth to make it possible practically overnight.

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.
