Effective contract and risk management enhances document oversight
I use Resolver GRC Suite for complete document management for risk management policies, third-party risk management, and the complete risk assessment, RCSA. Everything is managed in this operational system The third-party risk management, contract management, and KCSA management features are very…

Automates compliance management effectively but needs improved interface and dashboards
The tool basically automates whatever processes you already have, so I cannot specify improvements in that regard. However, my main issue with Archer is the graphics. The graphics have always been lacking. I always need to depend on another tool to read information from Archer to have better dashboards. It is like using Linux, and it has a Linux mindset and interface. I want to use Archer for top management and CEOs, but it looks too technical, and the dashboards are not really friendly. They are bulky, like opening an old Nintendo system from nineteen-ninety. The management agrees that Archer lacks in terms of presentation and dashboarding. It is complex, not user-friendly, and bulky. The interface just looks old.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Resolver GRC Suite is stable and reliable."
"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."
"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"Overall, I would give it a nine out of ten."
"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."
"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."
"The part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"From my perspective as a customer and end user, RSA is about the look and feel."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"One of the useful features is the ability to connect to various systems in order to accommodate data."
 

Cons

"Resolver GRC Suite does not have AI functionality, and maybe that could add some value."
"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."
"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"Its customization features could be better."
"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."
"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."
"Initially, technical support is a little weak, and I would rate it six out of ten. The issue with initial support is that new engineers are often not as experienced."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"If I were to rate RSA technical support on a scale from one to ten, I would give it about four, as there is definitely room for improvement, but support is available."
"The technology's a little outdated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."

"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."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"The license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
