What is most valuable?

The fact that it's a development platform is in itself a valuable feature. You can develop your own apps quite simply within it, and they can be configured very simply. I've only done a basic administrator course on it but I can configure it fairly easily for service desk, second line, third line… more»

What needs 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… more»

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Stable and scalable with good features overall

What is most valuable?

We implement the systems, so I tend to use it around what's known as the SDLC. The features, overall, are good.

What needs improvement?

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 aspect of the product. It would be helpful if the solution offered 3D graphics.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I don't have any previous experience working with other help desk solutions. I've only ever worked with this solution.

What other advice do I have?

We have a business relationship with Loom. We're a consultancy. I'd advise other companies to make sure that they choose a very good consultancy partner to ensure that everything is implemented in the correct way. Overall, I'd rate the solution nine out of ten.

Stable and scalable but requires better change management

The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation.

We have previously used different solutions, however, it's been a few years, so I can't recall the actual names of the companies.

What other advice do I have?

We are currently using the latest version of this solution. I'd advise other organizations considering implementing the solution to look properly at their integration. Make sure that the integration levels are respectable and looked at thoroughly. I'd rate the solution six out of ten.
