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 product’s interface is very intuitive."
"The ability to keep a record of internal incidents in the company, and also the monitoring of Key Indicators."
"The content, reporting, and workflow features stand out as the most valuable aspects."
"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."
"The most valuable part of the product is the ease-of-use and the opportunity to create custom security applications easily."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"Even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"One of the useful features is the ability to connect to various systems in order to accommodate data."
"With RSA Archer, an admin can set permissions for a normal user to go directly to the tool they need to input some data. Admins can then go through that and approve some requests. Also, they can log in based on these kinds of permissions, including ticketing, service patches, or upgrades."
"Easy to implement with a high level of automation."
"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 must allow customization in reporting."
"I believe there's room for improvement in establishing connections with external information."
"IBM OpenPages needs improvement in its UI. Currently, it is difficult to see the relationships (associations/parents) between all items unless you click on the item itself."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"Performance could be improved."
"There are some issues with the interface for version 6.5 but these may already be repaired and simplified in the new versions that have been released."
"Its customization features could be better."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"In a future release, there should be an option to upload the main data."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"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."
