Find out in this report how the two IT Vendor Risk Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"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."
"It is a very friendly tool. We can easily understand what is going on inside the tool. I like this tool. We can work with the tool for the ERP platform. We can create automated applications based on the requirements."
"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 solution has improved my organization by having everything combined to a single platform."
"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."
"RSA Archer has reduced the time and effort required for meetings."
"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."
"The stability of this solution is appropriate. You can sleep well at night, if you have this solution implemented in your environment."
"Tenable Lumin is very good because it helps organizations look for solutions and profit. It also helps organizations save time because it displays market data well."
"Tenable Lumin's dashboard helps me understand my vulnerabilities and which tasks I should prioritize for vulnerability remediation. Tenable creates a risk score that helps me develop a remediation plan, so the infrastructure team can move quickly to address risks. Real-time threat intelligence is also helpful. They get multiple sources of intelligence and correlate the data. Lumin discovers your assets through an agent or a network scan. That's an excellent feature that I'm leveraging now to better understand where all my assets are."
"The ticket handling process could be improved."
"The technology's a little outdated."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"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."
"It would be nice if RSA Archer featured more customization. When customers are updating, they should be notified whether certain updates are optional. The install screen should not proceed to the next page unless we make some selections about which updates we want to install."
"In terms of what can be improved, our client always says their user experience, IU/UX in RSA Archer. They found it is not as user friendly as other tools."
"Some of the error reporting isn't very clear. When you're looking for information on error codes, you got to do a lot of digging."
"The price could be better."
"Tenable Lumin isn't that old and still needs some time to mature."
"The solution's cloud operation has issues Lumin and Tenable are not one product. The integration needs to be worked out better. There is space for improvement there."
