"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"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."
"RSA Archer's best features are advanced workflow, reports, dashboards, and notifications."
"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."
"Even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"From my perspective, because I've always done it as a consultant, I do like the way it is configured. They've gone into changing the application builder interface, so it is even easier. When you're working with users, it is really easy to show them how to do things quickly and how to configure, change, and design stuff quickly."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"Initial setup was straightforward. It took maybe one week."
"The tool helps create reports for projects, including the creation of any ad-hoc reports"
"We have enterprise clients for the product."
"The best features are the scalability and flexibility to implement applications on top of the BW."
"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."
"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"Its customization features could be better."
"GUI could be improved."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"The user interface needs work. There are many small text boxes, like credit card size's boxes, where we need to input a lot of text. You can't see what you're typing beyond the tiny window, so you have to scroll or type elsewhere and copy-paste it. It's very inconvenient."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards."
"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."
"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."
"An additional feature I would like to see is the option to add wait time and integrate sources in wait time."
"We cannot actively log in to the system. It should also improve support."
"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."
