We performed a comparison between RSA Archer and SAP BusinessObjects GRC based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two GRC solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"One of the useful features is the ability to connect to various systems in order to accommodate data."
"Easy to implement with a high level of automation."
"It has various valuable features. For example, showing us if a control aligns with specific standards or frameworks helps us understand it better and verify its compliance."
"The most valuable feature is the enterprise module, which provides the capability of having all of the information stored and linked with everything else."
"Good dashboards and reporting features; it's easy to gather reports quickly."
"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."
"Even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"We have enterprise clients for the product."
"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."
"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"
"It is wonderful from the control perspective. The GRC tools help you in knowing what are the risk controls, how to mitigate risks, and how to ensure that there are no conflicts between the roles. From the user perspective, you get to know what are the permission risks and access risks. You get a lot of useful information."
"Initial setup was straightforward. It took maybe one week."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"In a future release, there should be an option to upload the main data."
"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."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"GUI could be improved."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"I think the old system is better than the new one. From an improvement perspective, the tool needs to ensure that the new technologies it offers are better than the old ones."
"We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support."
"An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."
"Technical support could be better and faster."
"BusinessObjects is very dated. It is not that user-friendly. It should be made more user-friendly. In addition, if they could make predictive analytics an embedded part of it where people get to know what is there to offer, it would be great."
