Archer is expensive, so if you have a large company with a large budget and complex infosec requirements, this might be the tool for you.

We have since migrated off of RSA Archer due to the limited functionality and inability to automate a lot of processes.

We have Archer which is the big expensive name in this area and the irony is that most of the time people are either uploading a spreadsheet into it or exporting one out.

Summary

Archer is a long-established GRC platform traditionally deployed on-premises, often requiring extensive professional services for customization and implementation, making it complex and costly to manage. In contrast, 6clicks is a modern, full-stack GRC platform with all modules and content included, designed for easy deployment in a SaaS model or private Azure cloud environments. This allows organizations to rapidly implement comprehensive cyber GRC initiatives without the heavy overhead, offering a user-friendly and agile solution compared to Archer's more complex setup.
