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

"Resolver GRC Suite is stable and reliable."
"Before we implemented GRC Suite, our reports were scattered everywhere, but now we have centralized storage and solid reporting."
"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."
"The solution has improved my organization by having everything combined into a single platform."
"One of the useful features is the ability to connect to various systems in order to accommodate data."
"It has the best workload management features."
"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."
"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."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"This is a good solution compared to others in the market because it is more secure."
 

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."
"Resolver GRC Suite does not have AI functionality, and maybe that could add some value."
"The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards."
"Other tools, specifically designed for audit management have a better GUI than Archer."
"In the current version, RSA is a little slow mainly because of Silverlight which I believe has been removed in the next version."
"Some of the error reporting isn't very clear. When you're looking for information on error codes, you got to do a lot of digging."
"The interface just looks old."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"In a future release, there should be an option to upload the main data."
"When we have to do formulas or some other type of calculation in Archer, it sometimes doesn't work correctly. The fields don't display right, and we have to contact RSA Archer support to fix things. I think the calculation components are a bit complicated."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
"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 pricing is moderate."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."
"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
"The price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
