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.
