These comparisons don't really make sense. I just spent a decent chunk of time evaluating the current state of these tools for implementation in a new product, and seeing a comparison of the prom + grafana toolchain with the comparable Influx DB toolchain would have been way more useful. If anyone is in the middle of this decision, I went with Prometheus and my early experience has been positive. It seems either would have been a good choice though, and the existence of a decent instrumentation library in language I'm using ended up being the deciding factor.
