Monitors transactions effectively but needs better support and more advanced AI
Entrust Transaction Guard monitors transactions between core banking applications. It offers integrations to many platforms, compatibility, and easy API integrations, providing effective fraud detection. The product reduces fraud for customers, especially within the financial services industry, by protecting transactions such as online payments and card usage. Without such solutions, online banking would face significant challenges.

Easy to configure and blocks bot attacks for web users
The solution is deployed on the F5 cloud. The solution's real-time analytics help you see what has been blocked. It helps to see whether the attack category was an automation attack or a fake browser. F5 Shape Security has a normal dashboard. We are doing F5 Shape Security migrations for 30 customers. F5 Shape Security uses Javascript. For a lot of competitors, the Javascript can be reverse-engineered by attackers to bypass the protection. F5 Shape Security has machine learning authentication of the Java script. If you had hacked it, the encryption would have been changed. It's really hard for attackers to reverse engineer the F5 Shape Security JavaScript. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.
