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 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.

Cons
  • The software still generates confusion, especially in the case of Asian names, often repetitive or similar to each other. In this case, the information it returns is not very accurate.
  • The numerous integrative databases that can be purchased are really very expensive.
  • NameScan is graphically unintuitive.

  • 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?)

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.

Based on the information from other university colleagues, it seems that NameScan is a more reliable and complete software than others of the same category. However, as already mentioned in another answer, the software NameScan remains a little weak in verifying the identity of people from states where names are frequently repeated.

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
  • It allowed us to limit the admission of non-welcome people to the University.
  • It has allowed us to limit the number of frauds in the context of thesis discussions, especially doctoral ones.
  • NameScan has become fundamental in our university's internalisation to verify, in particular, people arriving from countries at risk.

  • 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.
