This is a good product that allows us to easily build databases as well as to easily monitor them.
This is a good product that allows us to easily build databases as well as to easily monitor them I work mainly with 11G, and while it's a constantly improving product, I'd like to see it as a cloud-based offering to help with storage and memory. This is something that I'd like to learn more…

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

"This is a good product that allows us to easily build databases as well as to easily monitor them."
"The most valuable part of the product is the ease-of-use and the opportunity to create custom security applications easily."
"The most valuable features of RSA Archer are the asset management, risk management, and vendor management."
"With this tool, once it was built and designed, we were able to use our own internal resources, we don't need to go outside, all of the questions are already there, the policies and procedures are already built-in and you just need to tweak them a bit, so it helps us just in understanding what's there on the ground and overall it saves us a lot of money to be spent if we are taking care of these services individually."
"RSA Archer GRC modules allow you to build efficient, collaborative enterprise governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs across IT, finance, operations, and legal domains."
"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."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"It's an increasingly mature and very secure tool in the market."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
 

Cons

"We chose this because of the stability but sometimes you run into bugs in the lower versions and it's easier to upgrade to keep the system stable."
"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 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."
"The product is expensive."
"There are days when their stuff is awesome, there are other days when the frustration level is way too high."
"GUI could be improved."
"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."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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