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.

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."
"The tool has stability, and it allows me to automate whatever process I have."
"Risk management is one of the most impressive features of Archer, especially with the recent restructuring of the user interface."
"There is absolutely no doubt that it is a very good tool for audit management as a whole."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"It is enterprise-wide accessible. So, it is very helpful for all the employees in our bank. They can log in and do their risk management activities. It has a few inbuilt modules that are helpful for doing risk management activities, such as issue management, risk identification, risk assessment, and policy exception management. It also has some inbuilt workflows inside these modules. They are also helpful."
"With this tool, once it was built and designed, we were able to use our own internal resources, we don't need to go outside, all of the questions are already there, the policies and procedures are already built-in and you just need to tweak them a bit, so it helps us just in understanding what's there on the ground and overall it saves us a lot of money to be spent if we are taking care of these services individually."
"It is enterprise-wide accessible, so it is very helpful for all the employees in our bank, with inbuilt modules for issue management, risk identification, risk assessment, and policy exception management, plus intuitive workflows and a self-explanatory user interface that can be customized to meet our requirements."
"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."
 

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."
"If I were to rate RSA technical support on a scale from one to ten, I would give it about four, as there is definitely room for improvement, but support is available."
"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."
"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."
"Archer's performance could be improved - older versions can be very slow, and the application crashes from time to time."
"The technology's a little outdated."
"I would like to have the ability to build and maintain an inventory of personal data processing activities and assets utilizing a purpose-built taxonomy and data structure."
"The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards."
"The solution’s customization features could be better. Its performance and scalability need improvement as well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Compared to similar products by other vendors, this is an expensive one."
"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."
"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"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."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
