Cons
"It is easy for tech-savvy people, but newcomers might find it intimidating.""In Checkmk, the documentation can probably be improved a bit more.""I think that the integration and the exporting of the data collected are areas where Checkmk lacks but should try to improve the most.""If an alert is generated for a specific pattern in the log, and if Checkmk catches that log, it will stay there even after the alert is resolved.""Sometimes we receive alerts, and it can become annoying when you acknowledge an alert. It is very clunky when you acknowledge the alert. The process is not very intuitive, and there are instances where it feels a bit cumbersome to acknowledge an alert.""The initial setup is a bit complex."

"The usability must be better.""When new features are added, the service becomes full of bugs.""The unique problem with Cisco Intersight is that it's not supporting some players.""The solution needs some enhancement in order to build the cluster in two nodes.""It's a very complex solution.""The product's setup should be easier.""Cisco Intersight needs some improvement in terms of stability. Hybrid cloud management and proper hyperscaler tie-up are other areas for improvement.""An area for improvement in Cisco Intersight is automation. It needs more automation capabilities. Apart from enhanced automation, I want Cisco Intersight to integrate with third-party monitoring tools in its next release."
