What do you like best about the product?
Check_MK has done a really amazing job at making the information you need easily accessible and with good readability. As we have used many monitoring systems over the years, both before check_mk and after, we always value the ability to access information and understand what we are seeing. Many monitoring system that focus on the visualization of data seem to over do it and while it may be fancy it is still complicated. In the reverse of that several just don't have good simplistic visualization of date and that makes it hard to narrow down and find out what is going on.
What do you dislike about the product?
the event console that gathers snmp traps and email alarming from systems is a bit segregated from the main screens and can take time to make rules and get it all tuned and integrated into the main part of the polling based system.

Also the lack of a
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ability to quickly narrow down which host is causing the root issue by utilizing the parent relationship has allowed us to spend less time tracking that down. Also using the host and service event history allows us to provide exact outage time frames to our upper management as well as to other companies as we troubleshoot issue. Being able to store performance data for long periods of time and monitor several thousand services all while maintaining stellar performance is key. All and all this system has out performed and simplified monitoring for our company far greater than any other system we have used.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Once you learn how the "host tags" and the "host and service parameters" configuration interact then things will really start to click. Just dive in and really start adding host and spend some time in it.
