Web interface makes it quite easy to analyse and make sense of all the logs collected.
Strong Analysis Engine, Easy to use web interface. Setting up rules and alerts is also quite simple. In fact, we mostly use many of the inbuilt alerts and monitors with minor modification (primarily around the trigger levels). Integrates with many available vulnerability assessment tools like Nessus, Qualys and nMap to present a single view of your infrastructure status. No requirement for a separate RDBMS saves licensing costs. Based on my interactions with peers and vendors, for smaller organizations it is much better than other more established competitors which may offer features but are too expensive or too big for your needs. At the higher end, can easily handle workloads similar to the larger players.

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.

Pros

"Based on my interactions with peers and vendors, for smaller organizations it is much better than other more established competitors which may offer features but are too expensive or too big for your needs."
"Risk management is one of the most impressive features of Archer, especially with the recent restructuring of the user interface."
"Integration is another great aspect of RSA Archer. From the beginning, integration has been a central focus for RSA, and Archer has always integrated well with most tools on the market today."
"It has various valuable features. For example, showing us if a control aligns with specific standards or frameworks helps us understand it better and verify its compliance."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the advanced workflow and the dashboards. This tool can present data wonderfully to management, and it is easy for them to manage the risk plans."
"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."
 

Cons

"Support for all available environments, e.g. does not support AIX v7 or later."
"The product is expensive."
"While the AI features are emerging, it's not yet up to the market standard."
"RSA Archer somehow lags behind in the user interface. Additionally, the reporting capability of Archer should be improved."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"While the AI features are emerging and the cost is comparatively low, it's not yet up to the market standard."
"The ticket handling process could be improved."
"Some areas are not truly automated but are only scheduled."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."
"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."
"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
