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
Automates compliance management effectively but needs improved interface and dashboards
The tool basically automates whatever processes you already have, so I cannot specify improvements in that regard. However, my main issue with Archer is the graphics. The graphics have always been lacking. I always need to depend on another tool to read information from Archer to have better dashboards. It is like using Linux, and it has a Linux mindset and interface. I want to use Archer for top management and CEOs, but it looks too technical, and the dashboards are not really friendly. They are bulky, like opening an old Nintendo system from nineteen-ninety. The management agrees that Archer lacks in terms of presentation and dashboarding. It is complex, not user-friendly, and bulky. The interface just looks old.

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."
"First of all, its access control feature where it provides application level access, solution level access, and even recall access, as well."
"Solution is scalable."
"The Advance Workflow feature simplifies things."
"Makes auditing much more convenient."
"Archer seamlessly integrates data systems without requiring additional software."
"The integrated data model of a one-to-many/many-to-one relationship is quite useful."
"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."
"With RSA Archer, an admin can set permissions for a normal user to go directly to the tool they need to input some data. Admins can then go through that and approve some requests. Also, they can log in based on these kinds of permissions, including ticketing, service patches, or upgrades."
 

Cons

"A little too expensive."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are some issues with the interface for version 6.5 but these may already be repaired and simplified in the new versions that have been released."
"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."
"A remaining area for improvement is integration. There should be built-in integration mechanisms, for example, for organizations switching from platforms like ServiceNow to Archer, instead of custom integrations for each client."
"Slow turnaround time from support team."
"The management agrees that Archer lacks in terms of presentation and dashboarding. It is complex, not user-friendly, and bulky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is okay. The licensing costs are very reasonable; it is very affordable to us."
"The license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"The solution is not at all a cheap product."
"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 solution’s pricing is moderate."
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
