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.

Pros

"This is a good product that allows us to easily build databases as well as to easily monitor them."
"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 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."
"There is absolutely no doubt that it is a very good tool for audit management as a whole."
"The main benefit is that we can automate risk management."
"Its ROI is quite high when you look at how long it takes for people to input stuff for compliance risk, vulnerability management, and threat management."
"The product is very flexible."
"RSA Archer allows you to implement government risk compliance and acts as a mechanism to ensure that the compliance policies and standards are met."
"Our clients are using RSA Archer to automate their manual processes and activies to avoid manual intervention and have a clear visibility to leadership."
 

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."
"There were so many problems that we had found. One time, the search index was not working. We also faced slowness in Archer, but I resolved this issue."
"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 dashboarding in this solution needs to be improved, specifically the graphics."
"After deployment, some customers complain that the database must be constantly updated every time they add users, and the update process takes them a long time."
"Archer's performance could be improved - older versions can be very slow, and the application crashes from time to time."
"Its customization features could be better."
"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."
"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."
 

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."
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"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."
"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."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."
"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 pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
