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."
"The most valuable feature is the enterprise module, which provides the capability of having all of the information stored and linked with everything else."
"RSA Archer allows you to implement government risk compliance and acts as a mechanism to ensure that the compliance policies and standards are met."
"The helpful features of RSA Archer include providing an integrated overview of the landscape in the company, which leads the user to use the same inventory and other components, sharing the same set of references and objects we are working on."
"This is a good solution compared to others in the market because it is more secure."
"Enables development of any application, automation of any workflow including the GRC work processes."
"Reporting is excellent for all types of aggregators, as well as for different types of integrators."
"It's really a one-stop-shop and a great feature compared to what other tools offer."
"I like how Archer requires very little programming ability. A person with minimum coding experience can configure the necessary fields in Archer. It's more of a drag-and-drop solution."
 

Cons

"Support for all available environments, e.g. does not support AIX v7 or later."
"The product is expensive, and there are additional costs if you need to integrate more licenses or want more features."
"We evaluated Archer but at the time its poor support for Basel (e.g. cap allocation) was a deal stopper for us."
"We've noticed recently with the advanced workflow jobs that we're receiving some errors. It's a showstopper for us and it's clear that some kind of development support is needed."
"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."
"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"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."
"Archer's performance could be improved - older versions can be very slow, and the application crashes from time to time."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"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."
"The license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"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."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
