Positive: Excellent with regard to the under-the-hood monitoring of the DB.Excellent for receiving immediate performance information and for making log analysis simple.Outstanding and really helpful customer service.
Database anomalies can be swiftly sorted out by scanning and being identified.

Negative: If we allow the PMM to read from the database once every second, the connection to the database starts to slow down.

Summary: "Metrics Monitor" & "Query Analytics" are two interesting functionalities that allow us to detect problems in the performance of our queries, in addition to providing proactive information on performance problems.

Metrics Monitor offers us all the metrics related to the status of our database: CPU, memory consumed, number of connections to the database, status of the tables, users, etc. Almost all of the information we need about monitoring our database. To do this, it integrates with different tools oriented to data monitoring using time series such as Prometheus or Grafana.

Query Analytics is also a tool that gives us value a differentiating value that aims to measure the time and performance of queries made in a database. All critical queries for our business are monitored in real time, from inserting a new record, checking the status of an order or displaying the catalog of our services on the screen to show them to a client.

Positive: Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM) is compatible with different types of databases like MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL. In addition, it also has options to monitor our databases in the cloud, as well as optimize the performance of the database, improving the usability of customer applications.

Another of the main advantages is the integration with tools like Prometheus with the aim of storing information based on time. In addition, it offers a good interaction with the different agents using a REST API to show the results in Grafana dashboards.

Negative: It would be interesting to add support to more monitoring tools and improve the notification system so that there are more customization options.

Negative: I really don't like this product because there is only one drop back which is lacking.

Summary: I will recommend everyone to give it a try.

Positive: Too many good and useful features come really handy.

Negative: The user integration part could have been better.

Summary: I highly recommend this software to anyone who is running a database - the odds are high that PMM will uncover new metrics you hadn't considered. This is doubly (or higher) so if you run a cluster.

Positive: When running a DB cluster you need to be able to see the whole picture rather than individual problems on a per box basis. PMM has changed how my team measure performance and diagnose issues. Getting real time visibility on many of these previously hidden attributes in production has been a real help to my team.

Negative: Setup was a little work but not too complex. My biggest gripe is this tool has unlocked stats I'm struggling to find meaning from. In this case I would love to see some more articles covering the more esoteric stats I'm suddenly presented with.

Summary: It supports multiple databases like mysql, postgres, mongodb, cloud instances like rds is awesome. Single platform for multiple databases.

Positive: It is one stop solution to simplify monitoring management by reducing complexity. Very easy to debug with complete insight about what's happening inside databases.

Negative: Upgrade from older version to newer version was not as easy as expected. Specially major version upgrade.

Summary: We still chose PMM, since we could integrate it with few tweaks into our existing prometheus-setup/ldap authentication and alerting.

Positive: Technically PMM gives a great overview over your databases, especially the query-monitor.
Makes it easy toe debug , especially in multi-user shared databases.
Haven't seen anything similar complete/insightful so far.

Negative: Although we are still using v1 because too many labels have changed/need to be added.
Integration into existing Grafana/Prometheus could be easier.
