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."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"I like the dashboards and reporting features; it's easy to gather reports quickly which is great when your VP is waiting for the KPIs."
"The main benefit is that we can automate risk management."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"It has various valuable features. For example, showing us if a control aligns with specific standards or frameworks helps us understand it better and verify its compliance."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"There is absolutely no doubt that it is a very good tool for audit management as a whole."
 

Cons

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."
"Some areas are not truly automated but are only scheduled."
"GUI could be improved."
"While the AI features are emerging and the cost is comparatively low, it's not yet up to the market standard."
"There is no inbuilt alert in Archer to let us know that a data feed has failed or did not run for different reasons. So, we don't even get to know that a feed has not run until somebody reports it to us. This has been a problem all the time. 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. If Archer had a feature to send us an email notification when a feed has failed, it would've been very helpful. This is the reason why our users are slowly moving away to another platform. Some of the modules that I have been managing are being moved to ServiceNow. Next year, a lot of our modules will be moved from RSA Archer to ServiceNow, and the data feed issue has been one of the main reasons."
"The product is expensive."
"After deployment, some customers complain that the database must be constantly updated every time they add users, and the update process takes them a long time."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
"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."
"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."
"The license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"RSA Archer's price is justifiable and not as expensive, compared to ServiceNow. I have heard that the licensing for ServiceNow is much more expensive. I'm unaware whether there are any additional costs after licensing fees."
"The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
