Find out in this report how the two GRC solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The content, reporting, and workflow features stand out as the most valuable aspects."
"The product’s interface is very intuitive."
"The ability to keep a record of internal incidents in the company, and also the monitoring of Key Indicators."
"Archer seamlessly integrates data systems without requiring additional software."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"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."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"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."
"Even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"The Advance Workflow feature simplifies things."
"IBM OpenPages needs improvement in its UI. Currently, it is difficult to see the relationships (associations/parents) between all items unless you click on the item itself."
"The solution must allow customization in reporting."
"I believe there's room for improvement in establishing connections with external information."
"If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"The user interface needs work. There are many small text boxes, like credit card size's boxes, where we need to input a lot of text. You can't see what you're typing beyond the tiny window, so you have to scroll or type elsewhere and copy-paste it. It's very inconvenient."
"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."
"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."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"In terms of what can be improved, our client always says their user experience, IU/UX in RSA Archer. They found it is not as user friendly as other tools."
