Cardknox vs. Visa Acceptance Solutions (CyberSource)

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.

This is the market leader for this service and a mid-sized organisation is unlikely to find a provider that can provide the same value for money. Once it is all set up, the process runs in the background with little involvement from our organisation. It means no customer card details are ever collected or stored on-site, reducing our compliance headache. A very large organisation or one with a very complex website may find it inadequate.

• 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.

• 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!

• Cybersource should think to go for restfull api call. I am not sure if it exists because with DW it is Soap call.
• Cybersource should have some alerting mechanism where if certain auth declined in few mins, people get a notification to look.

I have spoken to over 50 different payment solutions and integrated with 3 others. Cardknox is leaps and bounds better than others in terms of customer support, payment technologies, and overall organization.

Cybersource is a decent product but 2 things are driving us to look at others options. First is the lack of customer service. Every issue that requires help is dreaded as you know if will not be an easy process. This tags into the communication access with them. Multiple emails are generally required to get any response. There have been times when we requested information about PCI compliance that they never responded. Second is the cost savings with others processors. Currently we are leaning towards Elavon as their replacement.
