On the ITOM side of things, there could be improvement. 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. Making things a little bit simpler, less resource heavy would be good. There's not a lot else really that I would improve, other than pricing perhaps. It's quite expensive in comparison to other tools but I guess that's to be expected with the market leader. For additional features I'd like to see automation within the work flows. It could also include more integration with other tools. There's a fairly big list of plug ins and play ons, but I would like to see that expanded. I'd like to see more tools like SolarWinds and other tools that are plug and play, rather than having to do a custom integration.

We primarily use the solution for service management We implement the systems, so I tend to use it around what's known as the SDLC. The features, overall, are good. I'm not sure if there's a specific feature the solution is lacking. The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this…

Key learnings from peers

Last updated Oct 9, 2024

Valuable Features

RFS is the most valuable feature. Users appreciate Loom Systems for infrastructure monitoring and its flexible nature. It's recognized as a development platform allowing app development and configuration with ease. Users find it simple for managing service desk operations such as incidents and request changes, though it requires more expertise for tasks like change problems and configuration management. Overall, the features are regarded as good within the context of SDLC usage.

"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. If an organization needs to expand it out they definitely can."

Room for Improvement

Change management and process automation need enhancement. Reporting lacks robustness, and users desire 3D graphics. ITOM requires simplification and less resource-intensive discovery and mapping. Automation within workflows and expanded tool integration are sought. Pricing is considered higher than competitors. Priority levels for incidents need clarity.

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

Popular Use Cases

Loom Systems is primarily used for IT service management, service desk operations, incident management, problem management, and asset management. It integrates with various tools and supports security and HR modules. Users implement it for client requirements including deployment, migration, automation, root cause analysis, and incident management. It is widely adopted by medium to large enterprises due to its capabilities, while cost considerations may limit its use in smaller enterprises.

Deployment

Many found Loom Systems's initial setup easy without major issues, while others mentioned complexity, suggesting expertise in ServiceNow may be needed. Some mentioned that though other tools are easier, Loom Systems ranks moderate in complexity. Challenges were noted more in assets discovery and service mapping on the ITOM side, but ITSM setup was considered manageable. Service partners were viewed as helpful. No specific deployment time was given by those not directly involved.

Scalability

Loom Systems exhibits strong scalability, easily supporting thousands of users. Groups report flexibility in expanding usage to accommodate growth. Licensing options offer adaptability with quarterly adjustments. Some entities with limited access rate its scalability as moderately positive, highlighting generally favorable capacity expansion.

Stability

Users find Loom Systems stable, with no bugs or glitches encountered during use. They experienced no crashes affecting reliability. The platform is stable, although custom app development can introduce minor instability due to programming and coding. They report no issues with stability, positively highlighting its dependability.
