PMM: Provides detailed MongoDB-specific dashboards that offer extensive visibility into critical metrics such as: • memory usage • query performance • index efficiency Administrators use these dashboards to quickly identify and resolve performance bottlenecks.
MongoDB tools: While Ops Manager and Cloud Manager provide monitoring capabilities, they may require additional configuration and are often tied to MongoDB's licensing and infrastructure, which can be limiting and more costly.
Query analytics
PMM: In-depth analysis of MongoDB queries identifies slow or inefficient queries that may impact overall performance. This feature is essential to optimize query performance and maintain efficient database operations. MongoDB tools: Ops Manager and Atlas provide query performance insights, but the detailed analytics and ease of use offered by PMM give it an edge, particularly for complex deployments.
Automated alerting
PMM: Includes a robust alerting system that notifies administrators of critical issues in real-time. Set custom alerts based on a wide range of metrics to manage and reduce downtime risk proactively. MongoDB tools: Alerting is available in Ops Manager and Cloud Manager, but setting up and managing these alerts is more complex and may not be as customizable as those in PMM.
Security and compliance monitoring
PMM: Provides continuous monitoring for security vulnerabilities, configuration issues, and performance problems. It includes auditing and compliance features, ensuring that MongoDB deployments meet organizational security standards and regulatory requirements.

Multi-cloud and on-premises support
PMM: Supports monitoring of MongoDB deployments across various environments, including: • On-premises • AWS • Google Cloud • Microsoft Azure Organizations use this flexibility to maintain a unified view of their database performance regardless of where they are hosted.
MongoDB tools: MongoDB Atlas provides cloud-based monitoring but is limited to the Atlas environment. Ops Manager and Cloud Manager can monitor on-premises and cloud environments but may involve additional costs and complexity.
Flexibility and cost
PMM: As an open source tool, PMM provides high flexibility and does not tie users to specific licensing costs, making it a cost-effective solution for comprehensive monitoring and management. MongoDB tools: Ops Manager and Cloud Manager often come with additional licensing fees and are tied to MongoDB’s ecosystem, which can increase the total cost of ownership.
When compared with MongoDB’s own tools, Percona Monitoring and Management offers advanced database monitoring and management capabilities, particularly with its ability to provide unified monitoring across multiple database types, making it an ideal choice for complex, multi-database environments.
