They are still providing the best card processing services for websites & online shops!
Great! I call them the universal card processor for almost every sort of business
Pros
You might not hear a lot about them these days but actually they are the biggest network of merchant account provider processing card payments for almost every type of businesses since the beginning of e-commerce. They offer plan for high risk business sectors too and process cards in a lot of currencies. Plug-ins available for almost every platform out there and clear payments to bank daily.
Cons
I found there interface little tricky and needed expert’s help to integrate with my e-commerce site.

Good integration with Frontline
The customer service was very personal. We had an account manager from authroize.net that was very personable and helpful. It integrated nicely with Frontline, but didn't have all the options that we needed.
Pros
We used Authorize.net because they have an integration with our tracking/invoicing software, Frontline.
Cons
It did not have at the time we switched away from it the ability to integrate a link for payment with the invoice in Frontline. It also took longer to receive our money from Authorize compared to our newer provider.

Slow Payments, Convoluted Explanations for Account Use
Overall, Authorize.net has some benefits like customer trust and fraud prevention and if you are good at code, it might be great for you. Otherwise it seems a little outdated and complicated to set up and use beyond their automated features.
Pros
I do like that Authorize.net is pretty widespread in its use, and that I feel I can implement it in a variety of mediums including SuiteDash CRM and Payments, my website, etc. It is rather versatile in that sense and allows for customization or more simplicity if needed.
Cons
If you are doing anything beyond setting up Authorize.net with them directly and having them manage your processor, it is really difficult to figure out what to do and what you need. Customer service is great, but I prefer to just get things done on my own without multiple phone calls to set things up. Payments come slowly and it just overall feels really outdated for me.

Works Great 100% Of The Time
I use Authorize.net to handle my e-commerce transaction payments . It works great.
Pros
It's basically a 100% trust symbol, and I know it's going to work every time, while protecting my transactions.
Cons
I guess I don't like when I need a secret key AND a security token and a few other things, since it just seems excessive.

Authorize is a Must for Fundraising
Authorize allows our office to be efficent in collecting payments for our campaigns and track donors. It also is a quick way to look up past payments in the transaction search-- a feature we use weekly!
Pros
Our office can do everything with Authorize.net...track payments, set up recuuring billing, recharge community members. Our favorite feature is how we get an email everytime someone uses the credit card form on our website so we do not have to go into Authroize.net to pull up information.
Cons
Our office would benefit from the last 4 digits of the credit card in the email that is sent to us after someone makes a payment.

We've relied on Authorize.Net for over 10 years
We've used Authorize.Net with our website shopping cart for over 10 years. Along with that, we've used the virtual terminal for manually keying phone / mail orders. It is easier to use than PayPal Manager.
Pros
Authorize.Net provides good, helpful API documentation. Its web-based virtual terminal is also easy to use.
Cons
I would give their support a grade of B. Fortunately, it is rarely needed. A few years back, there were some rough patches where the service was down or unreliable for brief periods. We have not had reliability problems for the last few years.

The payment gateway we've preferred for ecommerce development projects
Reliable and trusted payment processing
Pros
Authorize.net is the standard in payment processing. For a complex and established ecommerce website, Authorize.net will offer the features needed and provides a trusted payment solution. Processing fees will be lower than competition like Stripe which larger volume businesses will benefit from.
Cons
The interface, lack of reporting, and complexity in setup is an issue for us in 2018 when options like Stripe can be setup and running in a few hours vs days with Authorize.net

Good Solution If You Don't Want Built In Payment Providers
Overall, I've always had a pretty good experience with Authorize.net
Pros
It's pretty much a one click install now with most major e-commerce providers. It gives you plenty of anti-fraud settings, and is easy to find payments and see all transactions / attempted transactions
Cons
The overall UX design is pretty rough, it feels like it was designed 15 years ago and has never been updated. That's purely aesthetic though. Rates are decent, although it's hard to compete with some of hosted eCommerce single percentage rates for all cards.

Easy to use and safe!
Pros
It was very simple to set up and implement on our clients' sites. We also chose this as our payment portal because it is very safe for the customers' information.
Cons
The only thing I did not like is when they updated their platform we had to make changes to the code ourselves which caused some hiccups on our end, other than that no issues.

Works great...until it doesn't...
Customer support is fairly competent but several were smug. And I'm not only referencing the issue I had with the transaction limit (where I was obviously frustrated), I have had several communications and about half were less than friendly/helpful. Never saying anything overtly negative, but just bad attitudes and not treating people like valued customers.
Pros
Competitive rates. Set up was relatively smooth,.
Cons
1) No alerts when you're nearing your transaction limits. 2) Going over your transaction limits is VERY painful - they hold on to your funds and request a ton of information (more than I gave them when we signed up), and once you've hit your limit, you're funds are permanently on hold until you jump through all of their hoops (e.g monthly transaction limit of $X, monthly transactions of $X - $1 = no problems, monthly transactions of $X + $1 and your account is frozen indefinitely, even when the next month comes and you're assuming that you have $X limit again - NOPE!).
