"It's a simple product."
"The last project was for an investment group that was using Excel. Shifting their records from one position to another took approximately 15 minutes. In Archer, we created a workflow for them to leverage it, and they could send the single record with one click to one person within seconds. The whole process went from 15 minutes to two minutes to get the approval for the records. The main purpose of Archer is to just make it easy."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"Solution is scalable."
"The most valuable features of RSA Archer are the asset management, risk management, and vendor management."
"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 integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"It would be good if the solution’s technical support could be faster."
"The reporting needs improvement."
"GUI could be improved."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"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."
"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 product is expensive."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"The design and advanced workflow need to be improved."
"The technology's a little outdated."
