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.

Unified monitoring has transformed agriculture training data into secure, actionable insights
The foundational pillars of Splunk AppDynamics are very strong, and we do not have any issues. However, there are standardization challenges with limited visibility on some parameters when the system is integrated with multiple platforms because of differing technology stacks. Many applications function on different technologies, making fetching data difficult. We have discussed this with the business team, and they have said that they will offer a standardized application architecture through which APIs can be made more stable and accommodating. We have also requested a centralized monitoring framework and network, as many clients operate out of India and have requested centralized systems for real-time performance monitoring with just one click. Improvements and enhancements are happening weekly, and there are requests for regular training and orientation. I believe those things can be incorporated, but otherwise, everything is fantastic. For the agriculture ecosystem, there are many areas in remote or rural areas where connectivity constraints are huge. Limited internet bandwidth makes real-time monitoring difficult. We have requested the team to develop a hybrid model for real-time monitoring on lower bandwidth as well. Deploying offline-first or low-bandwidth solutions would strengthen synchronization. Additionally, mobile applications for rural environments would be beneficial. In data quality and governance, sometimes the system gives duplicate records, and there is inconsistency when checking data fields. It is not frequent, but we believe a complete solution can be developed here.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The RFS portion of the solution is the product's most valuable feature."
"Bringing Loom in ensures that the incident process, request process, change, all of these processes are improved."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is absolutely scalable."
"The solution is absolutely scalable. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can."
"The product's initial setup phase is easy since a separate machine is required, and it is not directly installed on a database as it is a type of proxy."
"AppDynamics has a very broad range of supported technologies, and it's user-friendly."
"From the monitoring perspective, it is a very good tool."
"The correlation feature available with AppDynamics Server Monitoring is absent in other competitive solutions"
"We were previously using Dynatrace, then we shifted to AppDynamics because it was more convenient."
"We were able to throw AppDynamics in there, identify the root cause within probably 45 minutes, which took our process time from 33 days down to 18 days, and then a few more efficiencies were found a few hours later, which brought it down to three days."
"We became 100% dependent on AppDynamics after we started using it."
"The business transaction that stands between multiple applications is proving to be most valuable."
 

Cons

"The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."
"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."
"The reporting is a bit weak."
"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."
"However, we have a slight complexity where for infrastructure we have to go to one agent, for the database we have to go to one agent, and for the application we go to another agent."
"I would like to see some cosmetic enhancements."
"Sometimes different results appear for the same scenario."
"Customization requires a few manual tweaks."
"The network diagnostics that they are adding will be really useful. They could add more detail into what is going on in the network."
"The UI could use a little help."
"They could align the product strategy to evolve as a complete solution."
"The main concern is the extensions and their documentation, particularly for the installation of Azure app services. It is lacking some documentation, which is why we are always with the AppDynamics team for support to get the details."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The license fee for Application Analytics is in the range of 2.5 million over three years, with extra fees for service contingencies."
"You are required to purchase licenses whether you use it or not. It is not pay-as-you-use."
"It could be cheaper. It's a little cost prohibitive. There are so many features that also show a lot of value, but it’s not always easy to justify the cost."
"The way it is structured in terms of price could be better. You pay for individual modules and that adds on to the cost, which detracts you from implementing those modules and slows you down."
"It is expensive. However, our time to recover has been reduced, and this product has helped recuperate costs and provided us with ROI."
"The tool is expensive."
"We have a license-based solution. That means you need a license for each server you monitor."
"My understanding is that the price of this solution is quite high, compared to other products."
