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 most valuable part of the product is the ease-of-use and the opportunity to create custom security applications easily."
"Even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"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."
"It has various valuable features. For example, showing us if a control aligns with specific standards or frameworks helps us understand it better and verify its compliance."
"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."
"The part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"We are currently working on making Essence one hundred percent compliant and we are not there yet."
"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."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"There should be a way to export and get data from the system in PDF or PowerPoint presentation format. This would be a great addition."
"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"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."
"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."
"If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly."
