NICE Actimize, a NICE (Nasdaq: NICE) business and a leader in Autonomous Financial Crime Management, has been recognized by Celent, a division of Oliver Wyman, Inc., in its “Solutions for Anti-Money Laundering: 2018 Transaction Monitoring ABCD Vendor View” report, and given the firm’s “XCelent Functionality Award.” The XCelent Functionality Award is presented to the vendor that best demonstrates breadth of functionality across a range of criteria, including the depth of functions and features included in the base AML Transaction Monitoring solution, along with production success and user experience. NICE Actimize also scored well in the report’s Advanced Technology category.

According to Celent, customers rated NICE Actimize strongly overall. In the area of Functionality, the highest scores included its audit trail capabilities. In terms of usability (configurability), parameters and thresholds and making minor changes were also highlighted as strengths in the NICE Actimize AML Transaction Monitoring solution. Customers also reported to Celent that the “best things about the vendor were configurability of the system and the vendor’s responsiveness, reputation, and people.”

"Among the companies we evaluated in our report, NICE Actimize ranked highest for the breadth of functionality that the firm provides its customers, a category that we believe is important in an institution’s evaluation of an AML transaction monitoring solution,” said Neil Katkov, PhD, Head of Risk and Compliance and author of the report. “We were pleased to offer NICE Actimize our XCelent Award for Functionality for 2018.”

“NICE appreciates Celent’s extensive research into the AML and Transaction Monitoring marketplace and we thank them for recognizing NICE Actimize as a leader in the breadth of functionality and features we offer,” said Barak Eilam, CEO NICE. “With the increasing complexities facing institutions in the anti-money laundering area, we believe that the depth and breadth of our financial crime offerings, including our anti-money laundering portfolio, is a critical differentiator for us. We are committed to continuing innovation in these categories.”
