Find out what your peers are saying about RSA, IBM, MetricStream and others in IT Governance."I find the vulnerability assessment and asset prioritization feature valuable."
"RSA is a very rich application. I like its adaptive suggestion, where based on your users and the class of data, it can actually recommend you the proper control to choose. For example, we have been using PCI DSS as an NIST. So based on application feedback, it will provide you with a suggestion on which control objective needs to be set. Based on that, you can make a decision—you don't need to take the suggestion, but you can customize that particular provided suggestion. RSA Archer's workflow is also good, in terms of process automation."
"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"Good dashboards and reporting features; it's easy to gather reports quickly."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"The last project was for an investment group that was using Excel. Shifting their records from one position to another took approximately 15 minutes. In Archer, we created a workflow for them to leverage it, and they could send the single record with one click to one person within seconds. The whole process went from 15 minutes to two minutes to get the approval for the records. The main purpose of Archer is to just make it easy."
"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 part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"Archer seamlessly integrates data systems without requiring additional software."
"The support mechanism can be improved."
"Performance could be improved."
"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"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."
"It's resource-hungry, that's the best way of putting it."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"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 design and advanced workflow need to be improved."
