About FICO

FICO’s Falcon Fraud Manager, powered by Couchbase and AI, is the #1 fraud detection platform, scoring 65% of the world’s credit/debit cards. To prevent downtime, which leads to fraud and lost revenue, FICO needed a multipurpose NoSQL database for high availability and transactional volume when providing credit checks and targeted offers for new telecommunications customers. Couchbase was chosen over Cassandra and MongoDB™ for speed, scalability, availability, and persistence to support large XML objects.

“We looked at Couchbase, we looked at Cassandra, we looked at Mongo. We found that the replication technology across data centers for Couchbase was superior, especially for the large workloads.”
