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.	Not Available
