Capability comparison
Noctula vs. legacy AML and point fraud tools
Point fraud tools such as SEON and Featurespace, and AML suites such as Napier, each solve part of the problem. Here is where one shared workspace changes the work.
| What your team needs | Noctula | Point fraud toolse.g. SEON, Featurespace | AML suitese.g. Napier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fraud, AML and sanctions in one case | One case, one score, one audit trail | Fraud first; AML case work often lives elsewhere | AML first; real-time fraud signals come from another tool |
| Device and session telemetry in AML investigations | Feeds the same network graph as payments | Strong signals, used mainly for fraud decisions | Usually not collected |
| 1st and 2nd hop mule network in the case view | Built into every alert | Varies by product | Varies by product |
| AI agents that draft the SAR narrative | Five specialist agents, human sign-off on every filing | Not the focus | Varies; check what is drafted versus summarised |
| Personal data redacted before any AI model reads it | Just-in-time, in memory | Ask the vendor | Ask the vendor |
| goAML and MASAK XML filing drafts | Schema-validated drafts for MLRO approval | Not the focus | goAML common; MASAK less so |
| Private cloud or dedicated VPC deployment | Standard option | Mostly shared SaaS | Commonly offered |
