We performed a comparison between MEGA HOPEX and RSA Archer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 initial setup was straightforward. With configuration, customizing or prepping the data and deployment, it took about one year to set up. We only needed two people to deploy and maintain the solution: one business architect and someone who specializes in customization and operations."
"Its availability is very good."
"The most valuable feature is that the software controls everything from a single management window."
"The ability to customize is valuable."
"The most valuable feature of MEGA HOPEX is the publication method for static websites. You can generate the whole database into a static website. Additionally, in the new tabular entry, you don't have to put objects or links, you can go and fill a tab and the MEGA HOPEX will generate an object for you in a simple way."
"What's most valuable in MEGA HOPEX is that it follows the reference model where each component is defined. I also like the diagram consistency in MEGA HOPEX."
"We have many use cases for this solution but the feature I have found most valuable is the IT Portfolio Management module."
"The most valuable parts of this solution are the richness of its features and its easy interface."
"The most valuable features are the advanced workflow and the dashboards. This tool can present data wonderfully to management, and it is easy for them to manage the risk plans."
"Archer seamlessly integrates data systems without requiring additional software."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"The most valuable features of RSA Archer are the asset management, risk management, and vendor management."
"One of the useful features is the ability to connect to various systems in order to accommodate data."
"RSA Archer is a good tool and I have found performing the application, ISMS, and TPRM assessments beneficial."
"The product is very flexible."
"The solution has improved my organization by having everything combined to a single platform."
"The product must improve integration with other tools."
"The tool usability is weak and it also has a high learning curve."
"Better documentation and training would be helpful."
"Lacking more out of the box integrations."
"It takes a long time to learn how to use HOPEX. It's hard to work with it because the user interface is bad. For example, if you want to build a complex system diagram, you need a lot of knowledge to do this correctly and make it readable. In MEGA, you need to create a report and it takes a long time to publish it. The publishing is offline. With RDoC, everything is online."
"The training materials and learning process need improvement."
"MEGA HOPEX can improve process simulation in the BPA module. If the solution was better we would not have to use another solution for this purpose. Simulating scenarios in the future for the to-be processes is in demand. If we can have the simulation engine built inside MEGA HOPEX, we would not have to purchase another license or solution to integrate them with each other. This would be a great improvement."
"MEGA HOPEX's problem is that it is expensive, but it's a fantastic tool."
"The design and advanced workflow need to be improved."
"I would like to see real-time data, from vulnerabilities, and threats."
"I find the tech support to be inadequately knowledgeable."
"The technology's a little outdated."
"The product is expensive."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"The first improvement I would suggest for RSA Archer is a better search feature. The search criteria needs to be improved. Sometimes I do a search and the search doesn't return the exact item I'm looking for. RSA Archer could also be improved by being more user-friendly. Maybe I have been using a limited version of RSA Archer, but I'm not sure whether it has ESG, environmental and social governance. In the next couple of years, ESG is the next feature that will be integrated into GRC tools. I would recommend RSA Archer adds ESG."
