Senior Fraud Analyst Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Excellent Platform for Real time monitoring " September 1, 2023 4.0 SIFT is comprehensive solution for risk assessment and mitigation. SIFT excels in offering real time risk intelligence, ensuring timely response and mitigation strategies. It's user friendly interface and customizable features empower businesses to tailor risk management to their specific needs. Pros 1- comprehensive risk assessment 2- User friendly and scalability3- Alerting and notification4- cyber security focus Cons \- complex implementation- Steep learning curve - some users pointed that their is False positive result Review Source Verified Reviewer Global Gateways and Fraud Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Best flexible option in the market nowadays..." May 15, 2019 5.0 It can be improved, the support team take too much time attending customer requirements, and regarding the reporting, one instead focusing on the actionable data invest too much time wrangling with the data to get the information we need (asking via email for Sift asciende support, yes is frustrating). But despite these drawbacks, their Machine Learning approach is the best on the market as of today. Pros Workflows functionality (is like the main actions an user can perform while inside our services platform) and Rules functionality (inside each Workflow one can set high number of options and criteria to execute actions (Blocking, Reviewing, etc.) these two features bring what we need in order to map fraudsters and behaviors alike, while at the same time they Machine Learning engine learns from us! Making everything we create inside the tools a lesson learn and then we can focus on the other kind of attacks, relying on the tool. Cons The reporting is so basic it contrast with the high functionality and advanced Machine Learning tool it needs to be improved. Here is where tools like Ravelin excel Sift Science by far!.

Manager, Fraud Prevention Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "A must-have solution for merchants addressing scalability. " October 12, 2020 5.0 We began using Chargeback this year and have seen a positive ROI from Real-time Resolution alone. Our win rate has improved and we are able to postpone adding headcount because of the speed with which the existing team can respond to disputes. As a fraud manager with years in the space, this is one of the most elegant and efficient solutions I've used. Pros Speed, ease of use, the ability to copy and paste screenshots into compelling evidence. For a merchant that fields 200x disputes weekly, an automated solution is a must. Cons Support for American Express, and alternative payment methods (like PayPal) is limited. Review Source Zeeshan M. Fraud Analyst Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Charegback RTR Overview" October 22, 2020 5.0 Pros We are using RTR solution to prevent chargeback, so far have good experience from the support and integration team. Cons Notification system provided in Accounts sections is not working.

March 22, 2018 5.0 We get to know the activity of users on a website. Helps us know if there is some kind of iffy business going on. And I like that it is self learning. Meaning it learns from the decisions you make and helps you tag any bad users. Pros I like that it helps me find suspicious interactions between users. It does get me if a user has a network of accounts and if they are the same person by verifying if they are using the same device. Cons It is a bit tricky to use. There are so many options and so much to discover it can be a little bit overwhelming. But once you know what you're doing (kinda) you should be all set. Review Source Zev G. Disputes Manager Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Chargeback is handy software and helpful" October 13, 2020 5.0 It has been positive. Pros The software is helpful in guiding us for how to best respond Cons For what we do it requires too much converting to word, and then back to PDF etc. However we do ten to be more detailed. Review Source Zach H. Sales/Service Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "This has been a great tool to prevent fraud" June 13, 2018 5.0 Pros The scores we receive on transactions are usually quite accurate and fast, and they have helped us avoid many potentially fraudulent orders. Cons We have had some issues where we are unable to locate a transaction in the system to further investigate, even though we received a score for the order. Review Source R Reviewer Director of payment ops Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Use of chargeback.com" October 12, 2020 3.0 Pros Helpful service at times, new price structure could save money Cons Lots of dupes, poor dashboards, no definition of key terms Review Source R Reviewer Office Manager Used the software for: 1-3 years ### "Continued Customer of Chargeback.com" October 15, 2020 4.0 Everyone is easy to work with and very willing to answer any questions we have. Pros User friendly - anyone in the office can use. Cons Costly. Its a little more than some of the products out there- but you get what you pay for. Review Source Chris L. Founder & CEO Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Essential As You Scale" October 12, 2020 5.0 It has been exceptional and a lifesaver. If you are struggling with chargebacks and don't know where to go, get Chargeback! Pros The challenge of preventing and managing chargebacks especially on subscription businesses can be extremely difficult and confusing. With Chargeback so much of the guesswork is taken out of the process and the control is put back into your hands. Its like having an automated payment specialist on your team. Cons We knew we wanted it asap but it does take about 4-6 weeks to get everything up and running perfectly. Nonetheless, that seems to be industry standard for a good service. Review Source R Reviewer Director of Client Services Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Impression" October 22, 2020 4.0 Overall, the product is good. It continues to evolve and I look forward to more features being added. Pros I like the ability to track Chargeback Agent interactions and have reporting. Cons The API connections are limited and updates require IT interaction. Not a lot of user customizability. Review Source R Reviewer Lead developer Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Easy to integrate using rich API" October 15, 2020 5.0 Pros My team was tasked with integrating Chargeback into our existing reservation system for the quick roll out. Well documented API helped us achieve this in the short amount of time. Chargeback's implementation team was always easily accessible and answered all question quickly and efficiently. Cons We didn't experience any issues during the integration phase. Support was a quick email or phone call away. Review Source R Reviewer Owner Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Great software to help with chargebacks" May 5, 2022 5.0 I've tried one other software where support was horrible, but I have had great success using this software and getting the support when needed. Pros Chargeback does most of the leg work to help with automated responses and help you win! Simple to use with is a plus when you don't have a lot of time to dedicate to fraudulent charges. Cons Wish there was better support for PayPal payments. Review Source R Reviewer Customer Support Rep Used the software for: Less than 1 year ### "Honest Review" October 16, 2020 5.0 Pros How easy it was to take care of alerts. The dispute dashboard is cleaner than Stripe's. Cons Some features didn't work. I wanted to get an email alert every time a Chargeback alert came in but every time I tried I got an error.
