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.

Offers a reasonable amount of ROI and helps save costs
I use SAI360 in our company's day-to-day risk and compliance activity, depending on the need for the tool's role, of course. The solution's most beneficial feature for improving our company's compliance processes stems from how it helps with the connectivity between functionalities. In terms of risk management capabilities, I feel SAI360 is a very well-connected GRC tooling system. I recommend the product to those who plan to use it. The trends I am observing in the risk and compliance space that SAI360 is helping our company address revolve around the area of connectivity across our entire organization. I rate the tool an eight to nine out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The tool has stability, and it allows me to automate whatever process I have."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"It's really a one-stop-shop and a great feature compared to what other tools offer."
"RSA Archer is a good tool and I have found performing the application, ISMS, and TPRM assessments beneficial."
"You can do wonders with this tool, but you have to be very specific in your utilization."
"RSA Archer GRC modules allow you to build efficient, collaborative enterprise governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) programs across IT, finance, operations, and legal domains."
"It's an increasingly mature and very secure tool in the market."
"Community content in the Archer Exchange is very valuable."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"There were so many problems that we had found. One time, the search index was not working. We also faced slowness in Archer, but I resolved this issue."
"After deployment, some customers complain that the database must be constantly updated every time they add users, and the update process takes them a long time."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"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."
"Its customization features could be better."
"The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards."
"I would like to see real-time data, from vulnerabilities, and threats."
"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"If the product is used in a small organization, it doesn't work well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"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 license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"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."
"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 price of RSA Archer is good. The price isn't too high considering it is a leading tool in the market."
"The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap and ten is expensive, I rate the product's price an eight."
