Cons
"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.""It is easy for tech-savvy people, but newcomers might find it intimidating.""I think that the integration and the exporting of the data collected are areas where Checkmk lacks but should try to improve the most.""The initial setup is a bit complex.""In Checkmk, the documentation can probably be improved a bit more.""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."
