"It would be good if the solution’s technical support could be faster."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"I find the tech support to be inadequately knowledgeable."
"An area for improvement would be the user interface. They could also offer more on-demand applications free of cost."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"The ticket handling process could be improved."
"GUI could be improved."
