Find out in this report how the two GRC solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool's most valuable feature is its ability to import files from other software packages. Its reporting and visualization capabilities have made our reporting easier. Importing results into spreadsheets or other documents for incorporation into reports is particularly helpful."
"The most valuable feature of ACL Analytics is its powerful data control capabilities."
"It improved my organization using an automated audit revision with scripts."
"I like the fact that in the duplicate section, I can find matches, and I can find situations where certain cells or certain cell points match, but there's a difference as well between two different records."
"Initial setup is straightforward."
"It is very flexible and has hundreds of functions."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"The part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"Even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"It has the best workload management features."
"I like how Archer requires very little programming ability. A person with minimum coding experience can configure the necessary fields in Archer. It's more of a drag-and-drop solution."
"The solution has improved my organization by having everything combined to a single platform."
"The ease of use could be better."
"Reporting and presentation of information directly to solutions, such as PowerPoint."
"It would be beneficial if the software could improve its capabilities when extracting data from databases, particularly for those who may not be familiar with SQL queries."
"The product's pricing has increased over the years."
"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."
"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 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."
"I would like to have the ability to build and maintain an inventory of personal data processing activities and assets utilizing a purpose-built taxonomy and data structure."
"Slow turnaround time from support team."
"If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly."
