Stronger cloud security posture has reduced misconfigurations and simplifies compliance checks
The best features of Cloudanix are security posture management and monitoring cloud assets, reviewing security alerts, and tracking compliance across the Azure environment. The most valuable feature for my team is the security posture management capability. This provides a clear view of misconfigurations and security risks across the cloud environment, and it prioritizes them based on their potential impact. This helps us focus on the most critical issues instead of manually reviewing everything. Cloudanix has a positive impact by improving overall cloud security visibility and reducing the time needed to identify and remediate security issues. This has helped us respond faster to misconfigurations, strengthen the security posture, and reduce the operational effort required for cloud governance. I can provide rough metrics, though not internal metrics. The time required to identify and remediate cloud misconfiguration has been reduced by almost 40 to 50%. This is because it automatically prioritizes the highest-risk findings. We also reduced the amount of manual effort spent on compliance reviews and security checks, allowing the team to focus on higher-value work.

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

"Cloudanix has a positive impact by improving overall cloud security visibility and reducing the time needed to identify and remediate security issues."
"Choosing Cloudanix has proven very efficient and intuitive, and it remains easy to handle compared to other products available in the market."
"The tool has stability, and it allows me to automate whatever process I have."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"This solution helped us with the centralization of our governance data, so we could house all of our controls in one place. We could use that central repository of all our controls to build our risk management strategy and our policy and governance. So we could use controls as a central library and build policy, and then build risk management around it."
"From my perspective, because I've always done it as a consultant, I do like the way it is configured. They've gone into changing the application builder interface, so it is even easier. When you're working with users, it is really easy to show them how to do things quickly and how to configure, change, and design stuff quickly."
"Reporting is excellent for all types of aggregators, as well as for different types of integrators."
"The risks which impact the organization or the IT section are presented in a well-displayed manner, which helps us to plan for, manage, or even mitigate risks."
"RSA Archer is a good tool and I have found performing the application, ISMS, and TPRM assessments beneficial."
"I like the dashboards and reporting features; it's easy to gather reports quickly which is great when your VP is waiting for the KPIs."
 

Cons

"Cloudanix could improve by addressing the limitations in terms of customization."
"I would like to see real-time data, from vulnerabilities, and threats."
"If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly."
"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."
"A remaining area for improvement is integration. There should be built-in integration mechanisms, for example, for organizations switching from platforms like ServiceNow to Archer, instead of custom integrations for each client."
"The dashboard that is a part of the RSA Archer could be more aesthetic."
"While the AI features are emerging and the cost is comparatively low, it's not yet up to the market standard."
"Because I have not upgraded, the graphical user interface is not the current one. It is not very modern and as user-friendly as it could be."
"The ticket handling process could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"As I am a developer and responsible for providing production support, I do not have personal knowledge of the pricing. However, my colleagues claim that it is very expensive in comparison with other tools."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."
"The initial purchase is cheap. You pay a nominal price to start then renew the license annually. You also must buy a license for each module. I'm not too fond of that aspect of the licensing model. You buy the elephant and then spend more money to feed the elephant."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
