"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"Even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"RSA is a very rich application. I like its adaptive suggestion, where based on your users and the class of data, it can actually recommend you the proper control to choose. For example, we have been using PCI DSS as an NIST. So based on application feedback, it will provide you with a suggestion on which control objective needs to be set. Based on that, you can make a decision—you don't need to take the suggestion, but you can customize that particular provided suggestion. RSA Archer's workflow is also good, in terms of process automation."
"I would like to see the modeling less strict so that connectors can be more flexible."
"In terms of what can be improved, our client always says their user experience, IU/UX in RSA Archer. They found it is not as user friendly as other tools."
"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."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"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."
"The technology's a little outdated."
"GUI could be improved."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"Archer could be improved by having more customization. I'm not sure if the backend processes have API calls and those kinds of seamless integrations, but from the front, some of the solutions are very out-of-the-box. It's not customizable, so that could be a little problematic since you have to use their features. In terms of the backend structure, I'm not too sure because I'm not a developer—I was an end user and product owner of Archer—and I don't quite know the backend and developmental features. But since it's an out-of-the-box solution, sometimes customization was challenging and support was a little problematic because we had to reach out to them all the time."
