We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The Advance Workflow feature simplifies things.""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.""Good dashboards and reporting features; it's easy to gather reports quickly.""Archer seamlessly integrates data systems without requiring additional software.""The last project was for an investment group that was using Excel. Shifting their records from one position to another took approximately 15 minutes. In Archer, we created a workflow for them to leverage it, and they could send the single record with one click to one person within seconds. The whole process went from 15 minutes to two minutes to get the approval for the records. The main purpose of Archer is to just make it easy.""It is a very friendly tool. We can easily understand what is going on inside the tool. I like this tool. We can work with the tool for the ERP platform. We can create automated applications based on the requirements.""The product is very flexible.""From my perspective, because I've always done it as a consultant, I do like the way it is configured. They've gone into changing the application builder interface, so it is even easier. When you're working with users, it is really easy to show them how to do things quickly and how to configure, change, and design stuff quickly."

"Tenable Lumin's dashboard helps me understand my vulnerabilities and which tasks I should prioritize for vulnerability remediation. Tenable creates a risk score that helps me develop a remediation plan, so the infrastructure team can move quickly to address risks. Real-time threat intelligence is also helpful. They get multiple sources of intelligence and correlate the data. Lumin discovers your assets through an agent or a network scan. That's an excellent feature that I'm leveraging now to better understand where all my assets are.""The stability of this solution is appropriate. You can sleep well at night, if you have this solution implemented in your environment.""Tenable Lumin is very good because it helps organizations look for solutions and profit. It also helps organizations save time because it displays market data well."

Cons
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost.""If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly.""I find the tech support to be inadequately knowledgeable.""There should be a way to export and get data from the system in PDF or PowerPoint presentation format. This would be a great addition.""It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages.""The solution as a whole could be simplified.""It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it.""It would be nice if RSA Archer featured more customization. When customers are updating, they should be notified whether certain updates are optional. The install screen should not proceed to the next page unless we make some selections about which updates we want to install."

"The price could be better.""The solution's cloud operation has issues Lumin and Tenable are not one product. The integration needs to be worked out better. There is space for improvement there.""Tenable Lumin isn't that old and still needs some time to mature."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the RSA Archer solution.

    A Specialist, RSA Archer at a tech services company, says, “RSA Archer is a valuable tool because it can manage the end-to-end functioning of any enterprise GRC module, such as compliance and risk management or business continuity plans and the entire BCM module. RSA Archer also provides many out-of-the-box solutions, which are use cases derived from the standards for GRC or risk management, governance, and compliance. It provides an end-to-end mechanism for business users on a single platform. That includes reporting, managing workflow, creating documentation, or tracking a process where you need to get approval from the various levels within the organization's hierarchy.”

    PeerSpot user Krishnendu S., Vice President at a financial services firm, mentions, "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."

    A Sr. Internal Auditor at an energy/utilities company comments, "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."

    Another PeerSpot user, Manash B., Technology Manager at a tech services company, explains, "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."
