Benchmark Software

Typically, Benchmark is a capability of a variety of other G2 Software categories. See more below to select the

best Benchmark Software.

Benchmark software is a critical tool for evaluating and enhancing computer performance. It gauges the capabilities of hardware components like CPU, GPU, SSD, and more across various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, macOS, and even iOS and Android. By stressing the components through real-world scenarios and stress tests, benchmark software tools measure clock speeds, temperatures, and voltages while assessing factors such as multi-core efficiency, frames per second (FPS), and GPU temperature. The best benchmarking programs adhere to industry standards such as DirectX, Vulkan, and ray tracing, ensuring compatibility with modern technologies and providing a comprehensive assessment of hardware capabilities.
Benchmark results help users, enthusiasts, and professionals make informed hardware upgrades, optimize overclocking settings, and validate improvements. Benchmarking tools can be standalone applications dedicated solely to performance evaluation or integrated as a feature within hardware monitoring software.

“A very good monitoring system, highly scalable and distributable”
What do you like best about Checkmk?

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.

What do you dislike about Checkmk?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Checkmk:

check_mk is a must have for monitoring of IT. Try it out you will have a quick success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Checkmk 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 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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

“Comprehensive and Cost-Effective APM for Hybrid Environments”
What do you like best about ManageEngine Applications Manager?

It supports a diverse range of application stacks—Java, .NET, MySQL, Oracle, SAP, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.—without needing multiple tools. The interface is easy to navigate and offers customizable, real-time dashboards that simplify identifying performance bottlenecks. Compared to other enterprise APM tools, Applications Manager delivers many of the same features at a fraction of the cost, making it ideal for mid-sized IT teams. Works well in hybrid environments, with agentless and agent-based options depending on what you're monitoring. Built-in anomaly detection and threshold-based alerts help prevent downtime or performance degradation before users are impacted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ManageEngine Applications Manager?

While functional, some modules have legacy UI elements that feel inconsistent with modern UX expectations. Setting up complex environments (e.g., clustered databases or Kubernetes pods) can be time-consuming and lacks guided wizards. Compared to tools like Datadog or New Relic, integration with third-party DevOps tools and ITSM platforms can feel limited or requires scripting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ManageEngine Applications Manager solving and how is that benefiting you?

It consolidates monitoring into a single platform, reducing tool sprawl and improving team collaboration. Real-time alerts and performance insights help us detect issues early, reduce downtime, and improve service reliability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
