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."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"The product is very flexible."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"It is easy to implement, it is easy to change the workflow, and it is easy to customize the processes."
"RSA Archer is a good tool and I have found performing the application, ISMS, and TPRM assessments beneficial."
"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."
"This solution helped us with the centralization of our governance data, so we could house all of our controls in one place. We could use that central repository of all our controls to build our risk management strategy and our policy and governance. So we could use controls as a central library and build policy, and then build risk management around it."
"Community content in the Archer Exchange is very valuable."
 

Cons

"There are not many partners for this product in India, which makes the OEM very difficult to reach."
"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"I find the tech support to be inadequately knowledgeable."
"Archer's performance could be improved - older versions can be very slow, and the application crashes from time to time."
"Compared to other GRC tools, RSA Archer is a little complex in the sense that even users need to have some knowledge of the tool."
"The dashboard that is a part of the RSA Archer could be more aesthetic."
"The product is expensive."
"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 can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
"The license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"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."
