Web interface makes it quite easy to analyse and make sense of all the logs collected.
Strong Analysis Engine, Easy to use web interface. Setting up rules and alerts is also quite simple. In fact, we mostly use many of the inbuilt alerts and monitors with minor modification (primarily around the trigger levels). Integrates with many available vulnerability assessment tools like Nessus, Qualys and nMap to present a single view of your infrastructure status. No requirement for a separate RDBMS saves licensing costs. Based on my interactions with peers and vendors, for smaller organizations it is much better than other more established competitors which may offer features but are too expensive or too big for your needs. At the higher end, can easily handle workloads similar to the larger players.

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.

Pros

"Based on my interactions with peers and vendors, for smaller organizations it is much better than other more established competitors which may offer features but are too expensive or too big for your needs."
"Overall, I would give it a nine out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"Integration is another great aspect of RSA Archer. From the beginning, integration has been a central focus for RSA, and Archer has always integrated well with most tools on the market today."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"Easy to implement with a high level of automation."
"The Advance Workflow feature simplifies things."
"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

"Support for all available environments, e.g. does not support AIX v7 or later."
"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."
"GUI could be improved."
"Other tools, specifically designed for audit management have a better GUI than Archer."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"We evaluated Archer but at the time its poor support for Basel (e.g. cap allocation) was a deal stopper for us."
"Some areas are not truly automated but are only scheduled."
"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."
"When we have to do formulas or some other type of calculation in Archer, it sometimes doesn't work correctly. The fields don't display right, and we have to contact RSA Archer support to fix things. I think the calculation components are a bit complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"RSA Archer's price is justifiable and not as expensive, compared to ServiceNow. I have heard that the licensing for ServiceNow is much more expensive. I'm unaware whether there are any additional costs after licensing fees."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"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’s pricing is moderate."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"I am not 100% familiar with that, especially with their new model. I just know that the way they've licensed per user to scale is good."
