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 dashboard is nice. We can provide different levels of access to users based on their titles, privileges, rights, etc. It streamlines the process of auditing and technical compliance."
"Before we implemented GRC Suite, our reports were scattered everywhere, but now we have centralized storage and solid reporting."
"Resolver GRC Suite is stable and reliable."
"It's an increasingly mature and very secure tool in the market."
"Its user interface is pretty neat, and there is flexibility in generating the data. You can customize reports at any level. You can directly get reports in Tableau format. If you want to generate statistical data, you can create reports with graphs. There is an adequate amount of flexibility for changing the format, the type of graphs, etc."
"Easy to implement with a high level of automation."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"To me, that's a better way to go."
"Archer seamlessly integrates data systems without requiring additional software."
"RSA Archer is a good tool and I have found performing the application, ISMS, and TPRM assessments beneficial."
"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."
 

Cons

"GRC Suite could have better third-party risk assessment. Maybe they can have a module that can perform certain jobs like security incident and vulnerability management because I haven't seen this module on their platform."
"Resolver GRC Suite does not have AI functionality, and maybe that could add some value."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"Archer could be improved by having more customization."
"While the AI features are emerging and the cost is comparatively low, it's not yet up to the market standard."
"It would be nice if RSA Archer featured more customization. When customers are updating, they should be notified whether certain updates are optional. The install screen should not proceed to the next page unless we make some selections about which updates we want to install."
"There are days when their stuff is awesome, there are other days when the frustration level is way too high."
"RSA Archer's technical support is a little disappointing because the first level is always manned by junior members who don't have much technical expertise."
"The design and advanced workflow need to be improved."
"The technology's a little outdated."
