Ladies and Gentlemen:

We refer to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the ‘‘Registration Statement’’) to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the ‘‘Act’’), on behalf of NICE Systems Ltd. (the ‘‘Company’’), relating to 987,104 (the ‘‘Shares’’) of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, NIS 1.00 nominal value per share, issued as restricted stock grants or issuable upon the exercise of options granted or to be granted, under the Actimize Ltd. 2003 Omnibus Stock Option and Restricted Stock Incentive Plan (the ‘‘Plan’’), which was assumed pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of July 2, 2007 by and among the Company, Nemo Acquisitions Ltd., an Israeli company and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Actimize Ltd. (the ‘‘Merger Agreement’’).

We are members of the Israel Bar and we express no opinion as to any matter relating to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of Israel.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined such corporate records, other documents, and such questions of Israeli law as we have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of this. In such examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to original documents of documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies, the authenticity of the originals of such copies and the due constitution of the Board of Directors of the Company.

Based on the foregoing and subject to the qualifications stated herein, we advise you that in our opinion, the Shares have been duly and validly authorized, and when, and if, issued pursuant to the terms of the Plan and the Merger Agreement were, or will be, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as part of the Registration Statement. This consent is not to be construed as an admission that we are a person whose consent is required to be filed with the Registration Statement under the provisions of the Act.

Very truly yours,
/s/ Goldfarb, Levy, Eran, Meiri & Co.
