"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"From my perspective, because I've always done it as a consultant, I do like the way it is configured. They've gone into changing the application builder interface, so it is even easier. When you're working with users, it is really easy to show them how to do things quickly and how to configure, change, and design stuff quickly."

"It has the best workload management features."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."

"The most valuable part of the product is the ease-of-use and the opportunity to create custom security applications easily."
"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 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 are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"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."
"I would like to see real-time data, from vulnerabilities, and threats."
"The technology's a little outdated."
"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."
