Find out what your peers are saying about RSA, AuditBoard, Trend Micro and others in GRC."Microsoft Purview Communication Compliance helps with extra collaboration and ensures communication is within the framework."
"Solution is scalable."
"The most valuable part of the product is the ease-of-use and the opportunity to create custom security applications easily."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"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 Advance Workflow feature simplifies things."
"Its user interface is pretty neat, and there is flexibility in generating the data. You can customize reports at any level. You can directly get reports in Tableau format. If you want to generate statistical data, you can create reports with graphs. There is an adequate amount of flexibility for changing the format, the type of graphs, etc."
"Enables development of any application, automation of any workflow including the GRC work processes."
"Archer seamlessly integrates data systems without requiring additional software."
"The product should incorporate more automation with the help of AI."
"Slow turnaround time from support team."
"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."
"Archer could be improved by having more customization. I'm not sure if the backend processes have API calls and those kinds of seamless integrations, but from the front, some of the solutions are very out-of-the-box. It's not customizable, so that could be a little problematic since you have to use their features. In terms of the backend structure, I'm not too sure because I'm not a developer—I was an end user and product owner of Archer—and I don't quite know the backend and developmental features. But since it's an out-of-the-box solution, sometimes customization was challenging and support was a little problematic because we had to reach out to them all the time."
"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"In a future release, there should be an option to upload the main data."
"GUI could be improved."
"Some areas are not truly automated but are only scheduled."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
