"Enables development of any application, automation of any workflow including the GRC work processes."

"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."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"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."
"The Advance Workflow feature simplifies things."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"We are currently working on making Essence one hundred percent compliant and we are not there yet."
"Its customization features could be better."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"There is no inbuilt alert in Archer to let us know that a data feed has failed or did not run for different reasons. So, we don't even get to know that a feed has not run until somebody reports it to us. This has been a problem all the time. Data feeds have always been a big headache for us because there is no feature to let us know if a feed has not run or has failed. If Archer had a feature to send us an email notification when a feed has failed, it would've been very helpful. This is the reason why our users are slowly moving away to another platform. Some of the modules that I have been managing are being moved to ServiceNow. Next year, a lot of our modules will be moved from RSA Archer to ServiceNow, and the data feed issue has been one of the main reasons."
"The design and advanced workflow need to be improved."
"I find the tech support to be inadequately knowledgeable."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards."
