Useful for risk assessment and has customization capability
The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options. The solution has impacted our operations by helping us manage and prioritize environmental risks. It also assists in establishing ownership of risks and enables us to mitigate or mediate existing risks. Additionally, it facilitates tracking risks throughout their entire lifecycle.

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

"The tool helps us with security incidents, policies, business continuity, disaster recovery, and internal audits. The feature I like the most is its customization capability. It acts like a blank canvas where you can construct forms and workflows according to your needs. You can configure and customize a lot yourself, whether starting from scratch or using some out-of-the-box options."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"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."
"RSA is a very rich application, and 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."
"Easy to implement with a high level of automation."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"This is a good solution compared to others in the market because it is more secure."
"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."
 

Cons

"We think there's room for improvement, especially with customizing NAVEX One. Their development on the roadmap can be slow."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"The solution’s customization features could be better. Its performance and scalability need improvement as well."
"RSA Archer's technical support is a little disappointing because the first level is always manned by junior members who don't have much technical expertise."
"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."
"Initially, technical support is a little weak, and I would rate it six out of ten. The issue with initial support is that new engineers are often not as experienced."
"The product is expensive, and there are additional costs if you need to integrate more licenses or want more features."
"We've noticed recently with the advanced workflow jobs that we're receiving some errors. It's a showstopper for us and it's clear that some kind of development support is needed."
"I find the tech support to be inadequately knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"NAVEX One's pricing comes in the middle range when compared to other products."
"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."
"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."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"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."
