Out of the box and ready to go with excellent support available
LogicMonitor offers great support, they helped us a lot and responded very quickly. It's out of the box so once we deployed it was ready to go without requiring any special setup. I really appreciate that the whole solution feels like it's made by engineers, for engineers. I like that I can dive deep on my own and don't need support for that.
IMRAN ALMARZOOQI - PeerSpot reviewer
Automates compliance management effectively but needs improved interface and dashboards
The tool basically automates whatever processes you already have, so I cannot specify improvements in that regard. However, my main issue with Archer is the graphics. The graphics have always been lacking. I always need to depend on another tool to read information from Archer to have better dashboards. It is like using Linux, and it has a Linux mindset and interface. I want to use Archer for top management and CEOs, but it looks too technical, and the dashboards are not really friendly. They are bulky, like opening an old Nintendo system from nineteen-ninety. The management agrees that Archer lacks in terms of presentation and dashboarding. It is complex, not user-friendly, and bulky. The interface just looks old.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Out of the box solution that doesn't require any special setup."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"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."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"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."
"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 solution has helped our organization manage our internal and external activities."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
 

Cons

"A little too expensive."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"The ticket handling process could be improved."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"There is no inbuilt alert in Archer to let us know that a data feed has failed or did not run for different reasons. So, we don't even get to know that a feed has not run until somebody reports it to us. This has been a problem all the time. 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. If Archer had a feature to send us an email notification when a feed has failed, it would've been very helpful. This is the reason why our users are slowly moving away to another platform. Some of the modules that I have been managing are being moved to ServiceNow. Next year, a lot of our modules will be moved from RSA Archer to ServiceNow, and the data feed issue has been one of the main reasons."
"The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards."
"There are some issues with the interface for version 6.5 but these may already be repaired and simplified in the new versions that have been released."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
"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."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"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."
"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."
