Find out what your peers are saying about RSA, AuditBoard, Trend Micro and others in GRC."The most valuable feature is the risk testing, where you can attach your processes to the risk, and automatically generate all of the tests."
"The most valuable feature is the enterprise module, which provides the capability of having all of the information stored and linked with everything else."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"Enables development of any application, automation of any workflow including the GRC work processes."
"The last project was for an investment group that was using Excel. Shifting their records from one position to another took approximately 15 minutes. In Archer, we created a workflow for them to leverage it, and they could send the single record with one click to one person within seconds. The whole process went from 15 minutes to two minutes to get the approval for the records. The main purpose of Archer is to just make it easy."
"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"With RSA Archer, an admin can set permissions for a normal user to go directly to the tool they need to input some data. Admins can then go through that and approve some requests. Also, they can log in based on these kinds of permissions, including ticketing, service patches, or upgrades."
"RSA Archer is a good tool and I have found performing the application, ISMS, and TPRM assessments beneficial."
"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."
"I would like to see the modeling less strict so that connectors can be more flexible."
"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."
"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"GUI could be improved."
"The ticket handling process could be improved."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"I find the tech support to be inadequately knowledgeable."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"The first improvement I would suggest for RSA Archer is a better search feature. The search criteria needs to be improved. Sometimes I do a search and the search doesn't return the exact item I'm looking for. RSA Archer could also be improved by being more user-friendly. Maybe I have been using a limited version of RSA Archer, but I'm not sure whether it has ESG, environmental and social governance. In the next couple of years, ESG is the next feature that will be integrated into GRC tools. I would recommend RSA Archer adds ESG."
