Find out what your peers are saying about RSA, AuditBoard, Trend Micro and others in GRC."The most valuable feature is the risk testing, where you can attach your processes to the risk, and automatically generate all of the tests."
"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."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"The Advance Workflow feature simplifies things."
"Easy to implement with a high level of automation."
"The part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"The most valuable features of RSA Archer are the asset management, risk management, and vendor management."
"Good dashboards and reporting features; it's easy to gather reports quickly."
"I would like to see the modeling less strict so that connectors can be more flexible."
"There were so many problems that we had found. One time, the search index was not working. We also faced slowness in Archer, but I resolved this issue."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"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."
"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."
"GUI could be improved."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
