- Low cost, excellent value - Great monitoring feature set - Broad range of monitoring plugins for a broad range of monitored systems - Small system footprint; product is slim and performant - Excellent scalability - Quickly implemented - Manufacturer support provided directly by experts - Manufacturer is dedicated to his product - Manufacturer is driven by what is helping his customers

- High amount of standard checks and the possibility to group them for the different requirements (Helpdesk, Application Teams, Management Views) allows a fast first time integration in new IT environments with a great level finetuning in a second step. - We use the Availability and Performance SLA reporting. - Granular rule based configuration and user roles let us adapt currently every aspect. We use both manual and API based configuration and information extraction to other tools. - The upgrade and patching procedures are very comfortable and seamless for the production. The automatic agent distribution is saving much time and avoids using further tools like external packaging.

The whole Check_MK environment has a very mature, stable foundation of supported checks and performance counters. Yet it grows almost on a daily basis. Support for new systems is being implemented very often and if you are willing to request it yourself, you can have it included in the core distribution in very little time. This agility really has no match among the larger competitors.
