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.

Offers a reasonable amount of ROI and helps save costs
I use SAI360 in our company's day-to-day risk and compliance activity, depending on the need for the tool's role, of course. The solution's most beneficial feature for improving our company's compliance processes stems from how it helps with the connectivity between functionalities. In terms of risk management capabilities, I feel SAI360 is a very well-connected GRC tooling system. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The trends I am observing in the risk and compliance space that SAI360 is helping our company address revolve around the area of connectivity across our entire organization. I rate the tool an eight to nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"RSA Archer is a good tool and I have found performing the application, ISMS, and TPRM assessments beneficial."
"Community content in the Archer Exchange is very valuable."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"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."
"This is a good solution compared to others in the market because it is more secure."
"In two to three months, even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"To me, that's a better way to go."
"It's an increasingly mature and very secure tool in the market."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"The tech support team's turnaround time is often slow."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"The first improvement I would suggest for RSA Archer is a better search feature. The search criteria needs to be improved. Sometimes I do a search and the search doesn't return the exact item I'm looking for. RSA Archer could also be improved by being more user-friendly. Maybe I have been using a limited version of RSA Archer, but I'm not sure whether it has ESG, environmental and social governance. In the next couple of years, ESG is the next feature that will be integrated into GRC tools. I would recommend RSA Archer adds ESG."
"In the current version, RSA is a little slow mainly because of Silverlight which I believe has been removed in the next version."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"When we have to do formulas or some other type of calculation in Archer, it sometimes doesn't work correctly. The fields don't display right, and we have to contact RSA Archer support to fix things. I think the calculation components are a bit complicated."
"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."
"If the product is used in a small organization, it doesn't work well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"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 price of the solution is very affordable."
"The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's price an eight."
