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

"First of all, we have gained time back that was previously wasted in management meetings."
"The solution has improved my organization by having everything combined into a single platform."
"The product is very flexible."
"The main benefit is that we can automate risk management."
"Integration is another great aspect of RSA Archer. From the beginning, integration has been a central focus for RSA, and Archer has always integrated well with most tools on the market today."
"The tool has stability, and it allows me to automate whatever process I have."
"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."
"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"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."
"There are some issues with the interface for version 6.5 but these may already be repaired and simplified in the new versions that have been released."
"Because I have not upgraded, the graphical user interface is not the current one. It is not very modern and as user-friendly as it could be."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"We've noticed recently with the advanced workflow jobs that we're receiving some errors. It's a showstopper for us and it's clear that some kind of development support is needed."
"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."
"A remaining area for improvement is integration. 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."
"In the current version, RSA is a little slow mainly because of Silverlight which I believe has been removed in the next version."
"If the product is used in a small organization, it doesn't work well."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
"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."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"Fairly highly-priced, especially for smaller companies."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"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 license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"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."
