"Solution is scalable."
"The product is very flexible."
"Enables development of any application, automation of any workflow including the GRC work processes."
"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."
"The part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"Good dashboards and reporting features; it's easy to gather reports quickly."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"We are currently working on making Essence one hundred percent compliant and we are not there yet."
"Performance could be improved."
"The technology's a little outdated."
"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"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."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly."
