What do you like best about Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)?

Query analysis part which help us a lot to know cost of the Query and inndb buffer pool graph, db replication status, temp table uses, parallel select query performance, best part is graphical representation for uses of IO threads on server. This all makes a good mixture for MySQL DBA it makes my job easier to manage each and every instance manually I get lot of things at same point. We are Monitoring more than 26 instance, I can compare each and every instance on server level, configuration level. Which are one of the best part for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)?

Till now I did not face any downside for PMM. But in query analysis part there should be a section user, host info like from which it's coming something we are not able to identify. And also big queries syntax are not showing in QA section. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best monitoring tool for your opensource databases."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)?

Percona PMM is free and utilizes open source solutions to implement state-of-the-art monitoring and alerting solutions for your entire database infrastructure and applications. Upgrade and installation is easy and has less operations overhead. It is not agent-based, and data can be selected from the performance schema. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)?

It can be clumsy sometimes, and dashboard navigation is complex and not intuitive. In addition, the reading graph is hard and can be confusing sometimes. It has its own learning curve, and user needs time to get used to the dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best tool for monitoring your database infrastructure"
5/5
What do you like best about Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)?

The ability to drill down to any aspect of the database infrastructure. From local server performance to database connections and even query analytics, it has the ability to do it all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Percona Monitoring and Management (PMM)?

The network bandwidth required to get all the information necessary makes it a fairly heavy application. Running it locally to the server helps prevent that data going over the internet though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
