Wherever a payments solution needs to be offered relatively fast, it's easy to set up and powerful, with strong technical capabilities. It works well both in settings where there isn't a dedicated payments department or team, as it can be customised with relative ease and low technical know-how

One thing Cardknox does well is to automatically update critical credit card information such as card expiration dates. This feature not only saves time, but it solves a huge headache of keeping card information updated. Before, our customers would have to call the credit card holder to get a new expiration date. Now it is automatic.

  • One of the strengths of Cardknox is the ease of installation. We have worked with more than one processor and Cardknox is by far the easiest to install.
  • Cardknox also has excellent support. When we need assistance they are they to help and it is easy to get through to them.
  • The sales team at Cardknox is great also. They often go beyond the call of duty to help us.

Cons
  • I would like to be able to create my own reports, like a combination between "Received payment details" and "Interactive payment accounting".
  • Maybe you can have a better integration with PayPal. The disputes are reflected all wrong in Adyen, for example if we accept a chargeback in PayPal, in Adyen we see a "chargeback reversed" status first, then we see a "refund" status. This is very confusing for us, we have accepted that chargeback, which means we have lost the case, what are a Chargeback Reversed and a Refund statuses doing here? I think PayPal is trying to unblock the transaction that received the chargeback, but this is a very confusing way of handling the chargebacks. If I look at the "Dispute transaction details" reports, all the PayPal chargebacks are "won" because of that "Chargeback reversed" status, which is obviously wrong, we lose some cases and we win others.
  • Amex chargebacks could be integrated. We don't see them in Adyen at all.

  • Any areas in function that we found tedious or difficult were really a result of us not knowing how to use all the features Cardknox offers. Once we contacted support with our issues and received guidance, we have not had any issues or frustrations with the system. Their support is robust and wait times for a response are extremely low!

Reliability and Availability
Response time are as expected, and Adyen team is always knowledgeable and are clear subject matter experts. Quite often I am assigned an engineer who is not in our time zone and sometimes 8-12 hours different from me. This causes delays in resolution due. It would be great to have a support agent who is located in the US.

Ayden has proved to be much more reliable with transactions and faster at completing them. We also have been benefited by their affordable rates and that it doesn't feel like a scheme to take from our profits. Lastly, the reports they provide help us to know what next steps we should take as a company, thankful for that direction.
