Ayobanji Iluyomade

IT Service Performance Manager at MTN

The solution is stable and can be used for monitoring and managing events, but it does not provide application or service monitoring features

We are moving from basic monitoring to AIOps, where we can do things like self-healing. We also want to create dashboards for IT and business users to show the status of their services. We have done a couple of demos. I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.

Keerthi Kumar Sangaraju

Technology Manager at FIS

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

"It has provided us with a single location to host all events to be viewed/monitored by our NOC. This has greatly helped them to streamline their processes."

"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."

"The noise reduction for ticketing works much better than we have seen in a lot of other companies."

"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."

"I like everything about this tool. I recommend this solution to anyone looking for a standalone solution with high availability meaning that can be used depending on the customers requirements."

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

"It works irrespective of the operating system we’re running."

"The solution has a very good business event manager tool."

More BMC TrueSight pros

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

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

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

"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."

Cons

"The one piece that I would love to see is a general-purpose, configurable agent which would be a framework that you can deploy on anything, whether it be Java or anything else. It would allow you to easily deploy it on a platform that they support."

"It's too complex, too many servers are required, there are too many different components in the solution, and a lot of agents are required."

"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 should improve predicting events and flaws in service. It also needs to improve integration with other systems."

"More modules for less popular applications and better documentation."

"It would be better if the initial setup and deployment were more straightforward."

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

"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"

More BMC TrueSight cons

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Though I have no clue about the tool's actual price, I know that it is astronomical."

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

"Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."

"Pricing is very high."

"Other products are more expensive than BMC TrueSight."

"BMC TrueSight Operations Management is not on the cheaper side, but its pricing is on a case by case basis. Its licensing model is simple and based on the number of devices."

"We're end-of-lifeing it now. Overall, the licensing costs of BMC are a challenge for us in that they're hard costs, whereas open-source monitoring has soft costs, where it's harder to line-item."

"It is a relatively inexpensive solution."
