    I would recommend all system administrators use some form of network monitoring if they are not already doing so, and I'd definitely recommend people consider OpenNMS if they're shopping around. Small businesses will benefit from the low-cost of entry (it's free!), whilst getting all the enterprise features. Larger businesses can benefit from paid support plans.
    However, there's no getting around the fact that you will require some advanced networking and sysadmin knowledge to get the most out of OpenNMS, or at least, be prepared for a steep learning curve. If you don't have the resources to devote this time initially, you may struggle.

    Percona
    Percona Server for MySQL covers 100% of our requirements in terms of our OLTP traffic and provides the High Availability levels required through a typical primary and 2 replica's using semi-synchronous replication. We're able to scale our writes using sharding, but a true distributed database would be a great option on top of this. In terms of OLAP traffic, we leverage columns stores available, but Percona Server fairs well

    Cons
    The OpenNMS Group
    • We've had a few issues with delayed alerting.
    • I haven't quite figured out how to make topologies work yet, but I haven't spent a ton of time on it either.
    • We've also had a bit of trouble importing some MIBs, but that usually boiled down to working with the vendor to make sure we had the right MIBs and dependencies.

    OpenNMS's more attractive GUI and its price break were the main reasons our company chose to explore and use this product. However, it never managed to actually replace Nagios which had a much more established hold within the company. Perhaps we were over-monitoring, but our company claimed a $100k loss per hour of downtime.

    Percona
    Performance and stability sets Percona Server for MySQL apart from the rest. Percona embraces the upstream version and contributes towards the upstream version making MySQL stronger on two fronts and thus having a much larger community. Many quality contributions have been made by Percona into the base code. Percona provides great tools to support Percona Server for MySQL and this makes the monitoring and management easier

    Return on Investment
    The OpenNMS Group
    • Initial adoption required quite a lot of resources and time to get everything right. Totally worth it for us; just be prepared for a gradual process that will get better and better with time.
    • Once setup and running smoothly, it provides us with all the reporting we could hope for, at near zero cost.
    • With OpenNMS, we're able to offer a much more reliable service to our customers, and spend a lot less time dealing with issues.

    Percona
    • At the performance level, it maintains and even improves other open-source databases such as MariaDB or some commercial ones such as Oracle.
    • If we compare it with MySQL, we could have up to 50% improvement in performance.
    • For some small companies or startups, the price of the complete solution and the support can be a bit high.
