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

"Before we implemented GRC Suite, our reports were scattered everywhere, but now we have centralized storage and solid reporting."
"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."
"Resolver GRC Suite is stable and reliable."
"Archer allows us to define the progress of the organization's processes and helps build the right cyclic process and improve the current structure."
"You can do wonders with this tool, but you have to be very specific in your utilization."
"RSA is a very rich application. I like its adaptive suggestion, where based on your users and the class of data, it can actually recommend you the proper control to choose. For example, we have been using PCI DSS as an NIST. So based on application feedback, it will provide you with a suggestion on which control objective needs to be set. Based on that, you can make a decision—you don't need to take the suggestion, but you can customize that particular provided suggestion. RSA Archer's workflow is also good, in terms of process automation."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"From my perspective as a customer and end user, RSA is about the look and feel."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"Its ROI is quite high when you look at how long it takes for people to input stuff for compliance risk, vulnerability management, and threat management."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
 

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."
"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."
"Archer's performance could be improved - older versions can be very slow, and the application crashes from time to time."
"Some areas are not truly automated but are only scheduled."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"Some of the error reporting isn't very clear. When you're looking for information on error codes, you got to do a lot of digging."
"Other tools, specifically designed for audit management have a better GUI than Archer."
"Recently, we made a suggestion for cross references, like for one application to another. There were limitations there, so we're hoping that will be included in the next upgrade."
"The design and advanced workflow need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"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."
"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 solution is not at all a cheap product."
"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’s pricing is moderate."
