What do you like best about the product?
check_mk is a very intuitive, easy to use and easy to setup monitoring system. It scales perfect vertically and also horizontal. it provides already a huge amount of monitoring functionalities for a lot of environments and it is quite simple extensible with own functionalities. Beside state based monitoring it has also a complete solution to integrate event based monitoring. With the Business Intelligence we are able to picture our mission critical processes in monitoring and able to simulate the impact of outages to the business.
What do you dislike about the product?
The maturity of the software is not at the expected level and an update to next version is a pain. New major functions are added without listening to the customers which ends in complex handling.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We deliver in a sequenced order in short interval parts to our customers (JIT/JIS). The IT systems are crucial in the supply chain. With check_mk we are able to alert an issue with this IT systems before it becomes a problem for the delivery process. check_mk is used in a highly distributed way at over 300 sites with one central configuration platform which allow us to quickly implement new monitoring solutions and standards. We also use checkmk to monitor our systems in our central datacenter and in cloud. With help of that we detect problems with our infrastructure but also monitor if applications work as intended (functional monitoring).
With a monitoring system like checkmk we are proactive informed about issue and gain time to troubleshot and fix before our internal or external customer inform us about a mailfunction system.

check_mk is a must have for monitoring of IT. Try it out you will have a quick success.
Perfect monitoring for heterogenous IT environments
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about check_mk is its ability to monitor all sorts of operating systems, appliances and applications in one central place. Combined with custom checks and performance data we are using it for monitoring as well as capacity management. The compatability to nagios and it's huge plugin repository made migration from classical nagios to check_mk very easy. We have been using check_mk for 5 years and are not planning to change that in the future.
What do you dislike about the product?
The menu structure is unintuitive in some cases and the Web API does not make use of HTTP response codes (You get a 200 even if the call fails). The Agent output is not encrypted by default.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Monitoring complex heterogeneous IT environments and capacit management.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are still using Nagios it is time for a change.
Powerful tool with great support
What do you like best about the product?
Check_MK gives us all we need to monitor our server landscape. It's very stable and we did not notice major problems. It comes with a lot of useful graphs displaying current and historical data. It provides a business intelligence like feature, notofications, an event console and much more
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes one might lose overview as the menus are quite "crowded"
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast detection of problems in the server landscape
Good scaling monitoring solution, easy to configure and administrate
What do you like best about the product?
Check_MK is easy to configure but also really flexible for all kinds of special requirements. Be it notification through SMS, special hardware for which you can easily write new checks or simply generating various views to analyse problems. The developers really know what they are doing and providing quick and helpful support.
What do you dislike about the product?
The new design of their website is just plain generic. Yet another copy & paste HTML5 site, which is in my opinion a big step back compared to the old unique design.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Check_MK to monitor networks of a multitude of customers and can get valuable information out of it, which otherwise would be really time consuming.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just try it! It's really easy to setup and test. The RAW edition is open source, so if you have a little spare time available just test it.
Best in-class IT monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
Check_MK in just a few minutes after being installed will provide you with deep insight and visibility into your systems and applications. Auto-discovery of services is a time saving feature that gets you up and running very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing to dislike really. The product delivers on its promise and is a focused IT monitoring product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility into our systems and applications: specifically we are able to budget accordingly for new hardware since we know precisely the patterns of usage. The benefits are far reaching as we have reduced costs and gained efficiencies with our systems and applications that previously were not possible. Just by looking at the trends you can get a glance of the direction you are heading in and this is valuable information when doing any kind of capacity planning.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check_MK is a pragmatic product for IT monitoring (systems and applications). It is quick to set-up, configure and requires little overhead in operating/maintenance. If you need relevant information from your systems and network such as capacity planning, trending/historical information as well as fault-management, then definitely give Check_mk a try.
