User interface, Historical data browsing is quite bad (there is a solution for that though).

Overwhelming amount of options that aren't that well organized or explained, tricky to manage services and hosts.

Best Budget monitoring software, but you get what you pay for.

If you can script it, you can do it. I really like the ability to customize nearly everything so that the software exactly fits your needs.

Price performance ratio in the Enterprise Edition very good. Most of the configuration can be done via the GUI with the additional option to do it on the console.

The easy install and configuration via Web Interface. Interfacing to other products like Grafana or i-Doit.

The ability to monitor almost every device with small to little effort is great.

Also helps with automated SLA reports und software/hardware inventory. Great value for your money, there is also a community edition for tight budgets.

The rule based configuration is one of the key features why Checkmk is superior. Performance is great, even in bigger setups (>2000 hosts).

We want to know and be informed about Problems at the Principal node, this way we can easily spare thousand of Info Mails and find it without  spend hours find out where the real Problem is.

An effective tool working as expected. Working command-line and api.

You're able to build your monitoring dynamic from the ground up and Checkmk helps to improve the overall quality of your infrastructure.

Constantly updated to include new features, enhancements, bug and security fixes. Active community that is very helpful.

Very easy to define hosts and service even for beginners. Very good support (Comunity & Enterprise).

The price of the product is pretty fair, I can say cheap of we analyze all the features which it provides.

The difficulty to get into it. The user manual online is not complete.

Checkmk offers a steep learning curve and the benefits you're getting from it are great and I personally  learned a lots of new things with the help of Checkmk.

We picked Check_MK because we liked the many integration possibilties and becase it scales.

Powerfull API for automation. The Rule based configuration is powerful very fast.

Distributed Monitoring and the ability for managed services helps a lot. Thridparty Integration is great, thanks to the open source community.

Having an overview over your IT-infrastructure 24x7, recognizing misconfiguration/misbehaviour before it becomes a real problem (predictive monitoring).

We liked the thousend of customizing possibilities to build the monitoring for our needs.

The insights you're getting from it are great and help to resolve problems even before they are real problems. One of the greatest things is the opensource edition (RAW Edition) of Checkmk.

Customisable dashboards have been very useful. Integration with automated configuration has been straight-forward.

The data within Epsagon can feel fragmented there are known gaps in what traces/events can be correlated and it is difficult to understand at times where alerts/issues came from.

Epsagon is the best way I know of about how to monitor, analyse and debug backend apps. We use it extensively with AWS Lambda and what was impossible to understand before, is now made super easy.

User interface feels slightly slow at times and is not optimized for mobile.

Incredibly frictionless. Alternatively for more complex stacks, calling the SDK or implementing via your SAM, CF or terraform stack all work like a charm.

Epsagon gives us a window into an otherwise black box that is Serverless. Love how easy it is to setup and the Epsagon is great about responding to issues.

It's also really interesting to visually see the service map, especially in a serverless architecture.

Alerting functionality hasn't caught up to CloudWatch yet. Requires instrumentation, (probably impossible to avoid, but still...).

Best drop-in distributed tracing tool for server-less architectures.

Incredibly easy to deploy and start using, with really great tutorials across numerous different programming languages. The stats, pre built dashboards and notifications are instantly valuable.

Ease of setup and ease of use. Great customer support service and great communication with their support in helping us get started, setup and customized.

Excellent support from the team. Simple slack integration for notifications.

No facility to have multiple AWS accounts with one Epsagon login - I manage multiple customers and need to logout/login for each one.

The software was very user friendly. It is laid out how you expect it to be laid out.

Fantastic software, fantastic customer service.

The team also took the time out to setup a call with me to discuss some teething problems I had and point me in the right direction. Fantastic customer service.

Easy to use, just instrument your functions or add the Epsagon Lambda layer. Service map is interesting.

Since then the product has matured significantly and it is very pleasing to use. Reliability and performance have been strong for some time now.

Ease of use, customer support (including reported issue resolution), speed to get to root cause of issues. Overview of function overall performance is first class.

I will highly recommend Espagon to anyone who wants to keep an eye on their lambdas, api gateway and rds.
