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

"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."
"Solution is scalable."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"From my perspective as a customer and end user, RSA is about the look and feel."
"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."
"Community content in the Archer Exchange is very valuable."
"This solution helped us with the centralization of our governance data, so we could house all of our controls in one place. We could use that central repository of all our controls to build our risk management strategy and our policy and governance. So we could use controls as a central library and build policy, and then build risk management around it."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"Integration is another great aspect of RSA Archer. From the beginning, integration has been a central focus for RSA, and Archer has always integrated well with most tools on the market today."
 

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."
"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."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"Slow turnaround time from support team."
"The interface just looks old."
"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."
"There should be built-in integration mechanisms, for example, for organizations switching from platforms like ServiceNow to Archer, instead of custom integrations for each client."
"I would like to see real-time data, from vulnerabilities, and threats."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"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."
"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 price of the solution is very affordable."
"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."
"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."
"The license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
