Scales well and technical support is good, but it is expensive
The majority of our customers nowadays are looking forward to having cloud-based control models. However, some of our clients have to keep their data in their own data center in order to satisfy compliance. In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good. Overall, it is a very good product. That said, there are other tools that meet the feature requirements and are more cost-effective. I would rate this solution a six out of ten.

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

"In summary, compared to the other products that are available in India, technical support and scalability are good."
"The interface is simple to use."
"Archer allows us to define the progress of the organization's processes and helps build the right cyclic process and improve the current structure."
"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."
"The last project was for an investment group that was using Excel. Shifting their records from one position to another took approximately 15 minutes. In Archer, we created a workflow for them to leverage it, and they could send the single record with one click to one person within seconds. The whole process went from 15 minutes to two minutes to get the approval for the records. The main purpose of Archer is to just make it easy."
"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."
"It has the best workload management features."
"Risk management is one of the most impressive features of Archer, especially with the recent restructuring of the user interface."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the enterprise module, which provides the capability of having all of the information stored and linked with everything else."
 

Cons

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."
"Some areas are not truly automated but are only scheduled."
"The management agrees that Archer lacks in terms of presentation and dashboarding. It is complex, not user-friendly, and bulky."
"RSA Archer somehow lags behind in the user interface. Additionally, the reporting capability of Archer should be improved."
"There should be an in-built feature that allows live data from vulnerabilities and threats from reliable sources to be streamed directly through their data field."
"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"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."
"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 price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"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."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
