VP, Product

We're happy with Archer as our enterprise GRC tool. It's the leading tool in this space and has plenty of flexibility to accommodate the most complex processes. The area of improvement we would like to see more from Archer is the more flexibility in reporting and dashboards. Our team connects data from Archer to other reporting mature tools like PowerBI.

Archer has a somewhat dated user experience, I feel that users demand more of eGRC platforms in the modern era from the perspective of how it can be used, and how it looks and feels.

Audit Associate

Archer is a flexible and highly configurable risk management platform that allows organizations to tailor solutions to their needs. We have optimized this by building several use cases for non-traditional purposes, taking advantage of Archer's strong workflow and notification capability and applications for areas typically outside of Archer's suite of products. 

In our experience, Archer's customer service team is responsive and knowledgeable. Archer offers a premium success program which enables relationship building with your representative. This has proven invaluable in helping us solution several pain points. 

Archer does have a few limitations. New functionalities, often available due to acquisitions of other companies, can be rolled out too quickly, leaving some features underdeveloped or incomplete. Also, its user interface can feel outdated though their team is actively working on improvements utilizing customer input. Modernization of the platform is on the horizon which we eagerly anticipate. 

Overall, Archer is a strong choice for risk management with some caution for new features and an evolving user experience.
