"CheckMK brings most of the tools we need to maintain our daily business"

What do you like best about checkmk? Writing plugins for CheckMK is easy to learn. Missing plugins can easily be implemented by my team and even be shared throughout the community. The community is also very active and motivated to answer questions when we have no clue about how a feature should be implemented.

"CheckMK - powerful monster"

What do you like best about checkmk? The way how fast you can monitor a network is incredible. The tool's speed in detecting abnormal behavior in the customer's network is a never-seen story before. You have some work setting things up, but once done, this is the most powerful tool we've ever used.
