Find out in this report how the two IT Vendor Risk Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"One of the useful features is the ability to connect to various systems in order to accommodate data."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"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 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."
"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."
"I like how Archer requires very little programming ability. A person with minimum coding experience can configure the necessary fields in Archer. It's more of a drag-and-drop solution."
"The solution helps identify our environment's vulnerabilities."
"With its automated approach, nothing is missed on the IPs your organization is related to."
"One of its most effective features for risk identification is its enterprise-ready automation for third-party risk measurements."
"I rate the product's initial setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is a difficult setup phase, and ten is an easy setup process."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"Archer could be improved by having more customization. I'm not sure if the backend processes have API calls and those kinds of seamless integrations, but from the front, some of the solutions are very out-of-the-box. It's not customizable, so that could be a little problematic since you have to use their features. In terms of the backend structure, I'm not too sure because I'm not a developer—I was an end user and product owner of Archer—and I don't quite know the backend and developmental features. But since it's an out-of-the-box solution, sometimes customization was challenging and support was a little problematic because we had to reach out to them all the time."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"Some areas are not truly automated but are only scheduled."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"I would like to have the ability to build and maintain an inventory of personal data processing activities and assets utilizing a purpose-built taxonomy and data structure."
"The user interface needs work. There are many small text boxes, like credit card size's boxes, where we need to input a lot of text. You can't see what you're typing beyond the tiny window, so you have to scroll or type elsewhere and copy-paste it. It's very inconvenient."
"They could improve the process with a questionnaire module for the product."
"There could be more information in regards to solving problems like hints on what specifically to look for."
"SecurityScorecard's technical team's response time is an area that my company expects to be made faster."
"The tool needs to have the ability to mitigate vulnerabilities with alternative solutions."
