Stable, easy to set up, flexible, and has multiple functionalities, but needs to define priority levels for each incident

What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."

"It is breadth. It covers so many different technologies which can roll up into a single console."

"The solution provides visibility to our infrastructure, how it is, the resources we are monitoring, and quick updates when it has any problems. We have integrated it with ServiceNow to open instances."

"We have one application, which is fairly large. In the past, we had Level 1 and 2 NOC support teams who were responsible for watching dashboards. When they saw an issue in the application, they would call Level 2 or 3 support and escalate the call, if necessary. Now, through the use of this product, we have been able to reduce the headcount by five people, as we are able to eliminate the eyes on the glass. We no longer have people watching the dashboard. We have events which are processed automatically through the system and get to the right people. We had six people in L1s, and now have one. So, we reduced five out of six headcount, which is pretty significant."

"I like the deep-dive detail and end-user metrics data. The synthetic monitor is the best one. The best point of the new one is that there's no need for configuration. You can inject the Java script and start to change major developments in the application. This is a good approach, and we received all the data using this."

"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is easily scalable."

"It provides common administration, and a Single Sign-On Platform with RBAC, which eases the cross launch between multiple tools"

"Intelligent solution with a proactive monitoring feature and consolidated dashboard that's stable and easy to scale."

More BMC TrueSight pros

"The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can."

"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature."

"What I like best about Loom Systems is that you can use it for infrastructure monitoring. I also like that it's a flexible solution."

"You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply."

Cons

"I would really like to see out-of-the-box support for monitoring uninterruptible power supplies."

"Specifically around application performance monitoring, BMC is definitely not the market leader. The Dynatraces, the New Relics and the like are more of the market leaders in that space. I would like to see them grow that space a little bit more aggressively. It has not really been their bread and butter."

"The solution is a little obsolete."

"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."

"The solution could improve its price."

"The stability of BMC TrueSight Operations Management needs improvement. My organization's infrastructure is vast and implemented based on BMC recommendations, but the solution needs to be optimized for large-capacity infrastructure."

"In a large company of our size, we need multiple people in our company trained. So, I have to take the training classes. Then, I have to go and train the rest of my organization. I would prefer to say to the other people on my team, "Go to this link and..." Or, "Here's a list of training sessions that you can go to which are online and that are free." I think it would help the adoption of their product in the marketplace, personally."

"The solution is overly complex."

More BMC TrueSight cons

"The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy,"

"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product."

"What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident. For example, after implementation and there was a huge impact on the client, and the client comes back to you and says that there's an incident, that there needs to be an immediate resolution for it, you'll see severity one, severity two, etc., in Loom Systems, rather than priority levels. It would be better if the incidents can be defined as low priority, medium priority, or high priority."

"The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Other products are more expensive than BMC TrueSight."

"It is a relatively inexpensive solution."

"Annual licensing amount depends on the customers requirements. Support is an additional fee and there are options for three and five year support."

"We pay license fees of between $150 and $200 per asset. There is an enterprise software license fee, and then you pay a percentage for your maintenance, and then Premier Support. For example, if you buy a two-year license for the product, then the maintenance fee is added to that for two years at X percent a year. Then there's a small fee on top of that for Premier Support..."

"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can be costly."

"The solutions are not the cheapest but are robust and stable. License model is rather complex and BMC do often change the model."

"Pricing is all volume-driven. I think we were paying between $80 and $85 per license. That's per unit, for a perpetual license. You pay it one time and then, every year, you pay 20 percent of that for annual maintenance and support. But now that we've grown, we've purchased tens of thousands of licenses and the cost per license has gone down to something like less than $30..."

"There is a big upfront cost when you buy the license, then there is annual maintenance. We look at, if I bought a license and paid for maintenance for five years, then average it out, what would be my monthly cost. We have had some of the competing tools come in around four dollars. This is coming in as a premium, which is why I don't have it deployed as I would like it. Therefore, we're in negotiations right now. If I can get it down to the four dollar range, I will triple my deployment in a year and a half."
