Find out what your peers are saying about RSA, BitSight, OneTrust and others in IT Vendor Risk Management."Microsoft Secure Score's most valuable feature is identity."
"The most valuable feature is the enterprise module, which provides the capability of having all of the information stored and linked with everything else."
"The solution has improved my organization by having everything combined to a single platform."
"Even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"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."
"RSA is a very rich application. I like its adaptive suggestion, where based on your users and the class of data, it can actually recommend you the proper control to choose. For example, we have been using PCI DSS as an NIST. So based on application feedback, it will provide you with a suggestion on which control objective needs to be set. Based on that, you can make a decision—you don't need to take the suggestion, but you can customize that particular provided suggestion. RSA Archer's workflow is also good, in terms of process automation."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"Solution is scalable."
"They could indicate whether a recommendation aligns with different compliance standards."
"If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly."
"Performance could be improved."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"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 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."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
