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."
"RSA is a very rich application. I like its adaptive suggestion, where based on your users and the class of data, it can actually recommend you the proper control to choose. For example, we have been using PCI DSS as an NIST. So based on application feedback, it will provide you with a suggestion on which control objective needs to be set. Based on that, you can make a decision—you don't need to take the suggestion, but you can customize that particular provided suggestion. RSA Archer's workflow is also good, in terms of process automation."
"Easy to implement with a high level of automation."
"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."
"Risk management is one of the most impressive features of Archer, especially with the recent restructuring of the user interface."
"In two to three months, even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"Previously, they were purely on Excel files and getting data from the applications inside Excel or Word format, and I think this is the first solution they went to, and this is the best tool for GRC, governance, risk, and compliance."
"It is enterprise-wide accessible. So, it is very helpful for all the employees in our bank. They can log in and do their risk management activities. It has a few inbuilt modules that are helpful for doing risk management activities, such as issue management, risk identification, risk assessment, and policy exception management. It also has some inbuilt workflows inside these modules. They are also helpful."
 

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."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"Recently, we made a suggestion for cross references, like for one application to another. There were limitations there, so we're hoping that will be included in the next upgrade."
"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."
"I find the tech support to be inadequately knowledgeable."
"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."
"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."
"Performance could be improved."
 

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 pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
"The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
"The license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"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."
"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."
"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."
