It streamlines the process of auditing and technical compliance
I rate GRC Suite eight out of 10. It's an excellent product. Maybe we need to do more work to customize it and adopt specialized design templates, reporting, and dashboards. Also, we still need to integrate it with various vendors and platforms. If you're thinking about trying GRC Suite, my advice is to know what you need. Don't leave it up to the vendor to decide by themselves. It's easier if you have a narrow scope of work and a particular requirement. You must be precise about the kind of reporting and dashboards you want. Look for the easiest solution.

User-friendly, minimal learning curve and good for security assessment
My use case is for security assessment. It's my daily task. I use it for security assessment in Azure. We have tickets where users need to submit details about an application, computer, or server. For Archer, my direct task is to assess the security risk of an application, infrastructure, or…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The dashboard is nice. We can provide different levels of access to users based on their titles, privileges, rights, etc. It streamlines the process of auditing and technical compliance."
"The most valuable features of RSA Archer are the asset management, risk management, and vendor management."
"Archer has simplified our security audits. It's made it easier to raise and trigger questionnaires to customers."
"Easy to implement with a high level of automation."
"Flexible record permissions and data import features."
"Even non-technical people can be masters of the product."
"Its user interface is pretty neat, and there is flexibility in generating the data. You can customize reports at any level. You can directly get reports in Tableau format. If you want to generate statistical data, you can create reports with graphs. There is an adequate amount of flexibility for changing the format, the type of graphs, etc."
"One of the useful features is the ability to connect to various systems in order to accommodate data."
"The last project was for an investment group that was using Excel. Shifting their records from one position to another took approximately 15 minutes. In Archer, we created a workflow for them to leverage it, and they could send the single record with one click to one person within seconds. The whole process went from 15 minutes to two minutes to get the approval for the records. The main purpose of Archer is to just make it easy."
 

Cons

"GRC Suite could have better third-party risk assessment. Maybe they can have a module that can perform certain jobs like security incident and vulnerability management because I haven't seen this module on their platform."
"The bullet chart is the best graph for my purposes, and it should be available for inclusion in the dashboards."
"RSA Archer might be a bit expensive for small companies because it's a vast tool."
"Some areas are not truly automated but are only scheduled."
"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."
"It would be useful for customers if COBIT 2019 could be translated into different languages."
"The solution can be a little slow due to the Silverlight feature."
"I find the tech support to be inadequately knowledgeable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is not expensive. It is reasonable. We only pay for the licensing."
"The price of the solution is very affordable."
"I am not sure about other companies, but it's quite expensive."
"The license is costly for the solution, but the remaining set up and maintenance is quite cheaper."
"At the higher end of the price scale, but provides better, more accessible functionality and customization than cheaper products."
"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 price should be reduced. You only have to pay the license and there are no additional fees."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
