Scales well and technical support is good, but it is expensive
The majority of our customers nowadays are looking forward to having cloud-based control models. However, some of our clients have to keep their data in their own data center in order to satisfy compliance. In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good. Overall, it is a very good product. That said, there are other tools that meet the feature requirements and are more cost-effective. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

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

"The interface is simple to use."
"In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good."
"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."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"With RSA Archer, an admin can set permissions for a normal user to go directly to the tool they need to input some data. Admins can then go through that and approve some requests. Also, they can log in based on these kinds of permissions, including ticketing, service patches, or upgrades."
"It's an increasingly mature and very secure tool in the market."
"It is a very friendly tool, we can easily understand what is going on inside the tool, work with it for the ERP platform, create automated applications based on the requirements, and it is very secure with three levels of access at the field level, application level, and code level."
"First of all, we have gained time back that was previously wasted in management meetings."
 

Cons

"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."
"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"The solution’s customization features could be better. Its performance and scalability need improvement as well."
"The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"Data feeds have always been a big headache for us because there is no feature to let us know if a feed has not run or has failed."
"While the AI features are emerging and the cost is comparatively low, it's not yet up to the market standard."
"When we have to do formulas or some other type of calculation in Archer, it sometimes doesn't work correctly. The fields don't display right, and we have to contact RSA Archer support to fix things. I think the calculation components are a bit complicated."
"The dashboarding in this solution needs to be improved, specifically the graphics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"The license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"As I am a developer and responsible for providing production support, I do not have personal knowledge of the pricing. However, my colleagues claim that it is very expensive in comparison with other tools."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"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."
