Keerthi Kumar Sangaraju - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Micah Richards - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at Unisys
Centralized monitoring has reduced outages and enables faster diagnosis across all database servers
The best features Redgate Monitor offers include detailed resource monitoring, instant alerts, and easy customization. A user can quickly see how your server is performing and which queries are taking the longest. The instant alerts and customizable options help since it is a multiple-platform database observability for the entire estate. I use this to optimize performance, ensure security, and mitigate potential risks with fast, deep-dive analysis and intelligent alerting. I love Redgate Monitor because it helps manage an entire database estate from a single pane of glass. Redgate Monitor has positively impacted my organization by creating database observability to proactively mitigate potential risks with instant problem diagnosis and customizable alerting. It accelerates daily database maintenance by automating time-consuming manual tasks, such as identifying long-running queries or tracking blocked processes, which frees up time to proactively improve the performance and security of servers. I have seen time savings from twenty percent to forty-five percent. It also helps to minimize downtime.

Quotes from Members

Cons

"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. 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."
"The change management within the solution needs to be improved. There needs to be more process automation."
"The reporting is a bit weak."
"What's lacking in Loom Systems is the level of priority for each incident."
"Regarding how Redgate Monitor can be improved, I think the capability to actually handle things would be a great feature."
"For improvement, I think Redgate Monitor's alert customization depth could be enhanced; I would appreciate more granular control over notification rules such as user permissions and alert grouping, as well as attention towards resource usage since Redgate Monitor can be resource-intensive."
"It is a bit expensive for MSPs to use for their day-to-day monitoring."
"Regarding pricing, setup cost, and licensing, I must say I don't favor the subscription model, and the price is somewhat higher."
