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 part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"Easy to implement with a high level of automation."
"This is a good solution compared to others in the market because it is more secure."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"Its ROI is quite high when you look at how long it takes for people to input stuff for compliance risk, vulnerability management, and threat management."
 

Cons

"The user interface, although it has improved over the years, could benefit from more modernizing."
"There are missing features in risk survey functionalities and the need for stronger dashboarding."
"I would like to see real-time data, from vulnerabilities, and threats."
"It would be nice if RSA Archer featured more customization. When customers are updating, they should be notified whether certain updates are optional. The install screen should not proceed to the next page unless we make some selections about which updates we want to install."
"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."
"While the AI features are emerging and the cost is comparatively low, it's not yet up to the market standard."
"There should be a way to export and get data from the system in PDF or PowerPoint presentation format. This would be a great addition."
"I would like to have the ability to build and maintain an inventory of personal data processing activities and assets utilizing a purpose-built taxonomy and data structure."
"Compared to other GRC tools, RSA Archer is a little complex in the sense that even users need to have some knowledge of the tool."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
