  • I feel like this tool's limits our ability to have updated policies and procedures. It seems like the application is so archaic that we have to scale our policies down so they will fit within the system. This is not an optimal way to run an IT organization.
  • It has allowed us to standardize all vendor contact info and risk policies in one place. That is really the only value we are getting from the application.
  • It also seems to have poor integration options with other apps. The data in RSA Archer should be sent to tons of other systems as it is important but this seems overly complex and limited options for actually achieving this.

  • RSA Archer provides an excellent ROI by increasing efficiency in company processes, reducing time for tasks, and reducing errors.
  • The tool provides an automated process (e.g. notifications) that allow employees to have assurance that company processes are followed (e.g. approvals workflow - change management, access management, incident management, etc.).
  • The tool takes care of a lot of tasks that would otherwise be labor intensive (e.g. requiring lots of staff hours to perform).

  • Archer certainly provides ROI by introducing efficiency in processes, reducing time for tasks, and reducing errors.
  • Archer workflow, notifications, and reporting provide a method of highlighting important information and notifying users when it is their time to take action.
  • I have seen individuals, especially in an environment working with Policy Management, Compliance Management, C&A, etc., where they spend so much time collecting data and drafting documentation that they are not actually able to contribute to the improvement of the organization. With Archer, those pain points can be alleviated, and those individuals can get back to work and make real changes.
