We performed a comparison between AuditBoard and RSA Archer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two GRC solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."AuditBoard has several solutions for governance, internal audit, and other categories."
"Considering the solution's return on investment, it has been extremely helpful since we were doing a lot of documentation. Previously, in our company, we were using an Excel sheet which made things quite messy."
"AuditBoard is very user-friendly compared to other audit management software I have used in the past."
"Its ability to share the data in real-time has helped us well."
"The most valuable feature is the well-documented instruction."
"The most valuable feature is that everybody can use the same tool. You can give a person permission to use AuditBoard and define their access to the Audit Table. For example, we can allow external auditors or clients to review our completed tests. The clients are attached to specific tests that happen regularly, like inventory counts and asset counts. Debt compliance is only done once annually."
"I find the most significant elements of this solution are the out-of-the-box reporting, the ease of workflow, workflow management, and the ease of managing our audit process."
"The most valuable feature of AuditBoard is its ability to facilitate the editing of work papers in a seamless and efficient manner. This is achieved through a built-in tool that allows for real-time editing without the need for downloading the working paper. This feature has proven to be incredibly time-saving for me as it eliminates the step of having to download the file and make changes, instead providing an easy-to-access "edit work paper" option. Overall, this feature has greatly improved my experience with AuditBoard and has been a significant contributor to its success in my opinion."
"It has the best workload management features."
"I like how Archer requires very little programming ability. A person with minimum coding experience can configure the necessary fields in Archer. It's more of a drag-and-drop solution."
"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."
"Enables development of any application, automation of any workflow including the GRC work processes."
"Good dashboards and reporting features; it's easy to gather reports quickly."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"The Advance Workflow feature simplifies things."
"The part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"Everything is there, and I have no disadvantage to note as of now."
"The initial setup is somewhat difficult because it has multiple pieces that need to be stitched together. You have to integrate it with the business unit you want to test if you want to go down from the corporate level to the operational level."
"A handful of things in the solution need to be improved. One of them is better communication of updates to the system or tool itself."
"The layout for the end user could be improved."
"After sending out a request to my network for documents, it would be great to have a receipt that shows who received the request and who did not."
"They should improve the solution's test sheets feature for ease of use."
"It is not easy to analyze the results of a survey as a whole."
"AuditBoard has the potential for improvement in a few key areas. Firstly, I have experienced instances where the platform has experienced technical issues and ceased to function effectively. Additionally, the editing tools provided within the platform can be slow and laggy, particularly when trying to access and edit important documents. This can be a hindrance to my workflow and efficiency. To address these issues, they should begin by improving the speed and reliability of the platform, as well as enhancing the search engine to make it easier to find specific controls and documents within the platform."
"The ticket handling process could be improved."
"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 are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"The solution as a whole could be simplified."
"I would like to see real-time data, from vulnerabilities, and threats."
"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."
"The technology's a little outdated."
"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
