Technology Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Significant enhancement in operations with powerful discovery and analytics, yet pricing structure poses challenges
ServiceNow IT Operations Management provides out-of-the-box dashboards. Along with the dashboard, it also provides the Operations Workspace, which is very useful for operations teams. There is a functionality called Performance Analytics, which we are also using to develop some dashboards for the senior leadership and operations team where they can perform trend analysis of alerts and events happening across the infrastructure and application landscape. These dashboards are really useful here. ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform. ITOM is just one module that ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers, but they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can."
"The solution is absolutely scalable."
"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature."
"The solution is very scalable; a company wouldn't have any issues expanding it if they needed to, and we have a few thousand users on the solution."
"You can develop your own apps within Loom, and they can be configured very simply."
"Bringing Loom in ensures that the incident process, request process, change, all of these processes are improved."
"It helps streamline management and processes."
"The software asset management features — especially around discovery — are the tools I find to be the most valuable."
"I like the solution mostly for CMDB discovery."
"Our ROI since implementing ServiceNow ITOM has been significant."
"The scalability of ServiceNow is good."
"The way this solution has helped us is that it improved our communication."
"The asset management tools are very valuable."
"It's easy to set up."
 

Cons

"The discovery and mapping still takes a lot of human intervention, it's quite resource heavy, especially in the initial setup which can take six months of work, especially when you have a large estate that you're dealing with."
"What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority 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."
"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product."
"The reporting is a bit weak."
"The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."
"The tool can be improved by including more detailed information to assist new users."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of ServiceNow."
"The main issue with ITOM in an enterprise environment is performance."
"The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective."
"The most complaints we have received from our clients are the solution's discovery aspect. I've heard a few concerns from the customers where we have to integrate with a third-party tool to make a full-fledged discovery along with ServiceNow. ServiceNow alone does not do the total capacity of the discovery. The discovery portion of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not in-depth as what the customers are looking for. The information that it gathers from the assets is a little more limited than what other tools provide."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."
"The security policies could be increased."
