"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."

"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"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."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"Its customization features could be better."
"Recently, we made a suggestion for cross references, like for one application to another. There were limitations there, so we're hoping that will be included in the next upgrade."
