Fantastic experience
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite part of the software is the automatic discovery. This allows us to add hundreds of servers at a time without having to manage each of them separately.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI could use an update but I hear this will be in one of the next major updates.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've discovered network and hardware issues that we didn't know we had, purely because auto discovery found a service we didn't think to add with our old monitoring software.

A complete IT systems monitoring suite
What do you like best about the product?
The automatic service discovery (agent and SNMP based) detects nearly all necessary checks for a host.
The web GUI makes it easy to use and the API provides automation, but still text config files are there and no database is required. Convenient for users of all experience levels.
More than 1700 builtin checks varying from basic system information to hardware vendor specific items like fans, power supplies and environment sensors.
A framework that is easily extended with plugins for the check engine and web GUI written in Python.
Customized views, dashboards, graphs, bookmarks, reports show the information that is needed.
Distributed monitoring makes it easy to monitor across the whole world or just two data centers.

There is realy not much I do not like about Check_MK
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Check_MK is a fast and easy to setup monitoring solution for small, medium and large businesses. It can scale up to 100.000s of service checks.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Start with the raw edition where already more than 1700 checks are available. Switch to the enterprise edition for more features.
A monitoring underdog
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.

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.
