Out of the box and ready to go with excellent support available
LogicMonitor offers great support, they helped us a lot and responded very quickly. It's out of the box so once we deployed it was ready to go without requiring any special setup. I really appreciate that the whole solution feels like it's made by engineers, for engineers. I like that I can dive deep on my own and don't need support for that.
IMRAN ALMARZOOQI - PeerSpot reviewer
A rich feature set helps save time and effort, making us more efficient and saving us money
The dashboarding in this solution needs to be improved, specifically the graphics. I am trying to find other solutions because I want to create management dashboards. This product has its own built-in design capabilities and how to present things, but it doesn't have a bullet chart. The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards. We are doing audits and risk management, and there are timelines related to when things are due. All of that can be very easily seen in a bullet chart graph, but what is available now are pie charts, bar charts, and the simple information that is not as meaningful. The reporting features are very basic, PowerPoint-like capabilities, that should be improved. They should be more like the features available in Power BI, or Tableau. As a workaround, I tried dumping the information from Archer into these two solutions, but it would be much better to have the functionality built-in. When it comes to searching, the filtering process is not very intuitive. If I want to filter then I have to use too many buttons to get to what I'm trying to search for. If they can simplify the researching process then that would be good.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Out of the box solution that doesn't require any special setup."
"The most valuable features are the advanced workflow and the dashboards. This tool can present data wonderfully to management, and it is easy for them to manage the risk plans."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"The most valuable features of RSA Archer are the asset management, risk management, and vendor management."
"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"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."
"I have found all the features to be valuable, including those involving reporting, the dashboard, notifications, email modules, the database and data input."
"The most valuable feature is the enterprise module, which provides the capability of having all of the information stored and linked with everything else."
 

Cons

"A little too expensive."
"Slow turnaround time from support team."
"There should be a way to export and get data from the system in PDF or PowerPoint presentation format. This would be a great addition."
"While the AI features are emerging and the cost is comparatively low, it's not yet up to the market standard."
"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."
"The management agrees that Archer lacks in terms of presentation and dashboarding. It is complex, not user-friendly, and bulky."
"The financial area of RSA Archer has room for improvement."
"Solution could use more inbuilt applications."
"Recently, we made a suggestion for cross references, like for one application to another. There were limitations there, so we're hoping that will be included in the next upgrade."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"RSA Archer's price is justifiable and not as expensive, compared to ServiceNow. I have heard that the licensing for ServiceNow is much more expensive. I'm unaware whether there are any additional costs after licensing fees."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"The solution's price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
"The initial purchase is cheap. You pay a nominal price to start then renew the license annually. You also must buy a license for each module. I'm not too fond of that aspect of the licensing model. You buy the elephant and then spend more money to feed the elephant."
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
