We performed a comparison between RiskOptics ROAR Platform and RSA Archer based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about RSA, AuditBoard, Trend Micro and others in GRC."We can get all the information about all the applications in a single platform."
"The Advance Workflow feature simplifies things."
"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"The part I liked about Archer was the risk assessment for deficiencies and being able to use it there."
"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 integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"Enables development of any application, automation of any workflow including the GRC work processes."
"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."
"This solution helped us with the centralization of our governance data, so we could house all of our controls in one place. We could use that central repository of all our controls to build our risk management strategy and our policy and governance. So we could use controls as a central library and build policy, and then build risk management around it."
"After you change and save the pre-filled specific information at the end of an application page, the application will again take you to the top of the page."
"If you need to integrate the RSA products with another SEIM solution, then it doesn't work properly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"There are certain restrictions on API integrations, and it is not simple or straightforward."
"GUI could be improved."
"The ticket handling process could be improved."
