"It is a very friendly tool. We can easily understand what is going on inside the tool. I like this tool. We can work with the tool for the ERP platform. We can create automated applications based on the requirements."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"The product is very flexible."
"We are currently working on making Essence one hundred percent compliant and we are not there yet."
"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."
"The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"Some areas are not truly automated but are only scheduled."
"Slow turnaround time from support team."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"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."
"Its customization features could be better."
