This is a good product that allows us to easily build databases as well as to easily monitor them.
This is a good product that allows us to easily build databases as well as to easily monitor them I work mainly with 11G, and while it's a constantly improving product, I'd like to see it as a cloud-based offering to help with storage and memory. This is something that I'd like to learn more…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This is a good product that allows us to easily build databases as well as to easily monitor them."
"It's really a one-stop-shop and a great feature compared to what other tools offer."
"It's an increasingly mature and very secure tool in the market."
"RSA Archer GRC modules allow you to build efficient, collaborative enterprise governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs across IT, finance, operations, and legal domains."
"First of all, we have gained time back that was previously wasted in management meetings."
"This is a good solution compared to others in the market because it is more secure."
"Among the most valuable features of this solution is the easy implementation and the degree of automation that it offers."
"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"Once Archer was implemented, everybody had a role to play, it was just a matter of logging in, doing the work, and moving the workflow to the next stage."
 

Cons

"We chose this because of the stability but sometimes you run into bugs in the lower versions and it's easier to upgrade to keep the system stable."
"Archer has some performance issues when working on a single server."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"A remaining area for improvement is integration. There should be built-in integration mechanisms, for example, for organizations switching from platforms like ServiceNow to Archer, instead of custom integrations for each client."
"Recently, we made a suggestion for cross references, like for one application to another. There were limitations there, so we're hoping that will be included in the next upgrade."
"Archer could be improved by having more customization. I'm not sure if the backend processes have API calls and those kinds of seamless integrations, but from the front, some of the solutions are very out-of-the-box. It's not customizable, so that could be a little problematic since you have to use their features. In terms of the backend structure, I'm not too sure because I'm not a developer—I was an end user and product owner of Archer—and I don't quite know the backend and developmental features. But since it's an out-of-the-box solution, sometimes customization was challenging and support was a little problematic because we had to reach out to them all the time."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"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."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"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."
"The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
"The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
