Initially, I had doubts about Archer's pricing. However, after comparing it with other products in the market, I would rate it around six or seven out of ten, as the price is relative.

The initial purchase is cheap. You pay a nominal price to start then renew the license annually. You also must buy a license for each module. I'm not too fond of that aspect of the licensing model. You buy the elephant and then spend more money to feed the elephant.
A problem statement only fits with the scope of work. Most resellers provide deals and available. See many underestimate delivery timeline to their environment, some bypass key areas to return later, so use-case considerations with the base product and add-on as buildout, which may delay procurement and costs will change. Over purchase license use cases or find readiness teams, tiger team, not complete for integrations.
Nice to have executive by in, they're not doing this work, budget your wave delivery and phase approach - reseller contracts may be easier to consume. A lot to do with big applications, results, and many corporate silos to onboard.
Try other products, perhaps a project that doesn't need an ultimate product start-up, and plenty of migration use-cases with Archer IRM being the end result.
I'm not sure about the cost of the solution but every year we purchase additional on-demand applications. Archer offers a package that allows the purchase of 10 on-demand applications. You can purchase more than that and the price goes up accordingly. I believe these purchases come with two years of maintenance support.

Archer is expensive compared to other GRC tools. The product is generally used in multi-national companies like JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, Amazon, Goldman, or eCommerce. They all use Archer. The cost would be prohibitive for a small or medium-scale company. If Archer is looking at promoting this product, they need to work on the pricing because only large organizations can afford it. There are many additional costs involved so that if one needs to develop some features in the tool there is an additional charge; if you ask RSA for any kind of enhancement or development, they will charge you; and if you'd like some consultation in regards to the product, they will charge you for that too.
The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market. However, some Level Three companies cannot afford this license because they're charging too much. For example, the price might be reasonable for Level Five companies doing a four-month project, but they have to lower prices to make the product more competitive in the market for companies below Level Three.

This is where we are right now. Pricing is not my domain. Another team handles the pricing.

The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us.
The solution’s pricing is moderate.
I give the price a five out of ten.
I am not acquainted with the pricing or licensing aspects of the product.
I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive.

The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees.
This product is at the higher end of the price scale, but it provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products.
