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.""The initial setup is a bit complex.""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.""I think that the integration and the exporting of the data collected are areas where Checkmk lacks but should try to improve the most.""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."

More Checkmk Cons →

"Adding application performance monitoring to the product alongside infrastructure monitoring would make it a more complete and useful solution.""In future iterations of this solution, there is a desire for more seamless integration with other monitoring software.""Nagios Fusion should include a 'remember me' option when logging in, so we don't need to enter a username and password every time.""There are some bugs, although not that many. There are some situations where the solution is not stable but the number of problems is not very high."
