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

"The dashboard is nice. We can provide different levels of access to users based on their titles, privileges, rights, etc. It streamlines the process of auditing and technical compliance."
"Before we implemented GRC Suite, our reports were scattered everywhere, but now we have centralized storage and solid reporting."
"Resolver GRC Suite is stable and reliable."
"The part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"The risks which impact the organization or the IT section are presented in a well-displayed manner, which helps us to plan for, manage, or even mitigate risks."
"Community content in the Archer Exchange is very valuable."
"I like the dashboards and reporting features; it's easy to gather reports quickly which is great when your VP is waiting for the KPIs."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"The solution has helped our organization manage our internal and external activities."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."

Cons

"GRC Suite could have better third-party risk assessment. Maybe they can have a module that can perform certain jobs like security incident and vulnerability management because I haven't seen this module on their platform."
"GRC Suite could have better third-party risk assessment. Maybe they can have a module that can perform certain jobs like security incident and vulnerability management because I haven't seen this module on their platform."
"Resolver GRC Suite does not have AI functionality, and maybe that could add some value."
"If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly."
"Its customization features could be better."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"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."
"Performance could be improved."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"While the AI features are emerging, it's not yet up to the market standard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"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."
"The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
"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."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."
