Review Summary	Checkmk is a robust monitoring solution praised for its wide range of out-of-the-box checks, extensive plugin library, and robust alerting capabilities. Users highlight its easy setup, scalability for large environments, and the active community offering support. However, some find the configuration process complex, particularly for beginners, with a steep learning curve. The GUI can feel cluttered, and certain features, like rule management and dashboard creation, might require further refinement for improved user experience.	Wireshark is widely praised as a powerful, free, and comprehensive packet analyzer for network troubleshooting and security analysis. Users particularly appreciate its deep packet inspection capabilities, protocol filters, and support for multiple platforms. While its learning curve can be steep for beginners, its vast online resources and community support mitigate this challenge. Some users noted performance issues with large log files and expressed a desire for a more intuitive user interface. Overall, Wireshark is a valuable tool for network professionals, but its complexity requires a certain level of expertise.
