Checkmk is now also highly automatable via REST API and Ansible. With the help of Ansible code, we are able to fully automate the deployment of new remote sites, and we perform an unattended migration from CentOS 7 to RHEL 9. This saves a lot of resources and improves the error rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Update process requires still a lot of attention and needs good testing before deployment but that highly depends also on the amount of customizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I greatly appreciate the configuration and extension options of checkmk, as they allow us to connect various applications and systems, even if they are not supported by default. Additionally, I find it very easy to set up checkmk once you understand the ruleset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Agent Bakery, auto-registration, individual signature keys per customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility, expansion possibilities for everyone (who can use Python) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The concept with the many small configuration files (Host/rules.mk) is slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the high level of automation of checkmk and find the API really great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the use of Checkmk not always entirely intuitive, but once I get used to it, it works relatively well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The bit i like most about Checkmk is that it can basically connect to anything from a monitoring point of view. There are numerous agents available which can be setup easy enough. If all that fails you can use what they call Local Checks. These are checks that can simply analyze basic text or numbers at stated intervals. We use the system to analyze data values rather than any physical device on our network. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We need to consider more elements for the end user that is consuming the data within Checkmk. While Checkmk is great at getting data, Data Insights are limited enough. You can have dashboard for sure but customizing Graphs is hard and requires a lot of programming knowledge. I find the features like trending basic enough. The next level is to bring more Data Analytics capability to it to try and answer the question my end users are asking. I'm finding that i'm reaching the limits of Checkmk in this regard Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The reporting module, while advanced, lacks the ease-of-use that clearly defines the rest of the user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its a bit difficult to update when using a lot of remote sites Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Checkmk excels in its comprehensive monitoring capabilities, covering everything from network devices and servers to applications and cloud services. The auto-discovery feature is a huge time-saver, and the customizable dashboards provide excellent visibility into our infrastructure's health. The scalability is also a major plus, allowing us to monitor a growing environment effectively. The check plugin ecosystem is vast, meaning we can monitor almost anything we need to.

While incredibly powerful, the initial learning curve for some of the more advanced configuration options and custom check development can be a bit steep for new users. Sometimes, troubleshooting very specific or niche monitoring issues can require a deeper dive into the documentation or community forums. The UI, while functional, could benefit from some modernization in certain areas to improve the overall user experience, especially for less technical users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
