Find out what your peers are saying about RSA, AuditBoard, Trend Micro and others in GRC."The most valuable feature is the ability to import and export using industry standards like XMI and XML metadata interchange managing the data in and data out."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"This solution helped us with the centralization of our governance data, so we could house all of our controls in one place. We could use that central repository of all our controls to build our risk management strategy and our policy and governance. So we could use controls as a central library and build policy, and then build risk management around it."
"I like how Archer requires very little programming ability. A person with minimum coding experience can configure the necessary fields in Archer. It's more of a drag-and-drop solution."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"The most valuable feature is the enterprise module, which provides the capability of having all of the information stored and linked with everything else."
"Solution is scalable."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"We are currently working on making Essence one hundred percent compliant and we are not there yet."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"The user interface needs work. There are many small text boxes, like credit card size's boxes, where we need to input a lot of text. You can't see what you're typing beyond the tiny window, so you have to scroll or type elsewhere and copy-paste it. It's very inconvenient."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"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 certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"The product is expensive."
"It would be nice if RSA Archer featured more customization. When customers are updating, they should be notified whether certain updates are optional. The install screen should not proceed to the next page unless we make some selections about which updates we want to install."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
