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.

Real-time monitoring has improved our banking API performance and supports detailed business transaction analysis
The real-time monitoring is what we can see for anything that is needed in terms of CPU, memory, or the connections or the sessions related. It's real-time monitoring of performance of each of the components, which is what we need and use all the time. It's highly effective, I would say. Infrastructure visibility, transaction monitoring, to check the actual user experience in terms of the response time, MRT and all those things. We do the component monitoring like the API performance and the connections and all those things, but we also do the business process monitoring and business transaction monitoring.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is absolutely scalable."
"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."
"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."
"Bringing Loom in ensures that the incident process, request process, change, all of these processes are improved."
"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."
"We have analyzed so many of our APIs and web services; it showed how much data and how many times each and every API and web service is used, and if we can save on those costs and enhance the performance, that's priceless."
"The event alerting feature or the trigger system is what I like most about AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Whenever an issue occurs, the tool automatically generates an even trigger that tells engineers in the company to take action, so it's an essential feature of AppDynamics Server Monitoring. Another valuable feature of the tool is end-to-end monitoring, which means if you need to debug, you can go transaction by transaction, where the issue lies, and how it's linked. For example, if it's a low-performance issue, you can look into it more through AppDynamics Server Monitoring in terms of which area takes too much time to execute. You can also see the SQL queries and the kind of query going on through the tool."
"AppDynamics is scalable."
"Splunk AppDynamics is very efficient in all those areas and, compared to the cost, it is also very cost-efficient, because that is the main thing for every organization."
"What I like best about AppDynamics is that it's functional, particularly in APM in Java and .NET."
"Splunk AppDynamics is known for its comprehensive capabilities and functionality, providing a 360-degree view of application performance."
"It gives me the ability to trace logs between transactions, for example, a DB transaction or JVM transaction from one hub to the other, so I can easily find out where the problem is or where the bottleneck of the issues lies."
"The most valuable features of Splunk AppDynamics that I have found so far include it being a deep-in monitoring solution for applications such as Java and databases, where you can dig into the log information and performance information that is within the application, and for a very easy setup, you have all the information that you need."
 

Cons

"The reporting is a bit weak."
"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 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."
"The reporting is a bit weak. They should work to improve this aspect of the product."
"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."
"I would like to have customizable dashboards to use when I am monitoring certain applications."
"I would like the solution to be more customizable to meet our client's requirements."
"As per my experience, the drill-down feature can be improved at the class level."
"I think the only feedback from my team has been that it's not an HTML based UI right now, so it's limited on mobile devices."
"The AppDynamics installation process needs to be more straightforward. Deploying the product is also tricky."
"Maybe some more CPU power or something like that could be an area to improve."
"I am not very impressed with support. The service could be better."
"Their support should be improved. Clusters and monitoring can also be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This price of this product is expensive."
"The tool is expensive."
"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."
"AppDynamics is really pricey as it requires licenses for every feature."
"The licensing scheme is very complex. They need to make it easier."
"It is not a cheap tool, but you also save in manpower to setup because it is easy and fast. At the end of the day, I think the revenue is much better. BUT, they have an awful co-term mode of licensing."
"We do not have any issues with the price."
"The pricing needs to come down."
