Gartner Peer Insights is a technology review platform where users can review software they have experience with as well as view reviews from other users. These reviews are used to create interactive visualizations with customizable criteria.
RSA Archer is fantastic at cataloguing, personalizing assessments, raw reporting, and capacity to add custom fields. It is a little clunky around adding contextual information to notifications, peeking into data before attempting to load pages, quick navigation or determining linked (or sub-linked) relationships. These are all concerns that can either be worked around with an appropriate data scheme or with careful administration of the sub-routines.
Being able to pick from a variety of providers and gauge the true effects of the tested solution on their business. There are a tons of review catalogues on Peer Insights. These are precise and pertinent. To ensure that all member reviews are fair and free of spam, they examine and review each one. This is particularly useful because it addresses every topic and element of the program, including how much it will cost your company.
Integration capabilities to multiple enterprise systems
Control standards and Procedures to address multiple regulatory/authoritative sources, standards and frameworks enabling test once satisfy many requiremnts
Rapid application development and User friendly tool with configuration capability to customize easily without user requiring programming or coding skills
Good tool to get the information communicated, approval workflow, and easy to add new findings/questionnaires. Seems to be compatible with different browsers and little downtime. Only request for improvement is to add an export feature with fewer clicks. Maybe batch export.

It has been roughly 5 years since I have seen Securevue, so a lot can change, but to me it felt like several products were purchased and an attempt was made to piece them all together into a single solution (and I believe that may have been true). It also required agents on endpoints which did not fit the model I believed customers were looking for. MetricStream appeared to be difficult to install as it took their own engineers some time to get it installed in my lab environment. I did not think their web interface was as intuitive as RSA Archer. Customization to the platform was possible to some degree, but required a lot more work and technical skills than required by Archer. I did like the landing page for MetricStream which called out the important action items for the current user, but Archer v6.X now has this feature.
