"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."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"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."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"Enables development of any application, automation of any workflow including the GRC work processes."
"The solution has improved my organization by having everything combined to a single platform."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"The product should incorporate more automation with the help of AI."

"Slow turnaround time from support team."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"Its customization features could be better."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"The design and advanced workflow need to be improved."
"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."
