Featured Loom Systems reviews

Keerthi Kumar Sangaraju

Technology Manager at FIS

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.

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…
