Centralized management strengthens compliance with good look and feel
From my perspective as a customer and end user, Archer has an impressive look and feel, but the most adaptive feature is its ease of configuration which helps to enhance our process according to our maturity. It's more about our organization getting centralized with an integrated approach that focuses on risk governance and compliance. When can provide a detailed dashboards to management with the details of risks from top-down or bottom-up prioritizing actions based on its criticality or necessity. This allows us to show end users and management where the issues lie and effectively demonstrate accountability and visibility in compliance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Archer Integrated Risk Management is stable."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"Archer seamlessly integrates data systems without requiring additional software."
"The most valuable part of the product is the ease-of-use and the opportunity to create custom security applications easily."
"Among the most valuable features of this solution is the easy implementation and the degree of automation that it offers."
"One of the useful features is the ability to connect to various systems in order to accommodate data."
"It is enterprise-wide accessible. So, it is very helpful for all the employees in our bank. They can log in and do their risk management activities. It has a few inbuilt modules that are helpful for doing risk management activities, such as issue management, risk identification, risk assessment, and policy exception management. It also has some inbuilt workflows inside these modules. They are also helpful."
"RSA Archer allows you to implement government risk compliance and acts as a mechanism to ensure that the compliance policies and standards are met."
"Solution is scalable."
 

Cons

"There are missing features in risk survey functionalities and the need for stronger dashboarding."
"The user interface, although it has improved over the years, could benefit from more modernizing."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"Some of the error reporting isn't very clear. When you're looking for information on error codes, you got to do a lot of digging."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"There were so many problems that we had found. One time, the search index was not working. We also faced slowness in Archer, but I resolved this issue."
"There is no inbuilt alert in Archer to let us know that a data feed has failed or did not run for different reasons. So, we don't even get to know that a feed has not run until somebody reports it to us. This has been a problem all the time. Data feeds have always been a big headache for us because there is no feature to let us know if a feed has not run or has failed. If Archer had a feature to send us an email notification when a feed has failed, it would've been very helpful. This is the reason why our users are slowly moving away to another platform. Some of the modules that I have been managing are being moved to ServiceNow. Next year, a lot of our modules will be moved from RSA Archer to ServiceNow, and the data feed issue has been one of the main reasons."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
