### How does VictoriaMetrics compare to other clustered TSDBs on top of Prometheus such as [M3 from Uber](https://eng.uber.com/m3/), [Thanos](https://github.com/improbable-eng/thanos), [Cortex](https://github.com/cortexproject/cortex), etc.?
VictoriaMetrics is simpler, faster, more cost-effective and it provides [useful extensions for PromQL](ExtendedPromQL). The simplicity is twofold:
VictoriaMetrics is simpler, faster, more cost-effective and it provides [MetricsQL with useful extensions for PromQL](ExtendedPromQL). The simplicity is twofold:
- It is simpler to configure and operate. There is no need in configuring third-party [sidecars](https://github.com/improbable-eng/thanos/blob/master/docs/components/sidecar.md)
or fighting with [gossip protocol](https://github.com/improbable-eng/thanos/blob/master/docs/proposals/completed/201809_gossip-removal.md).
- VictoriaMetrics has simpler architecture, which means less bugs and more useful features in a long run comparing to competing TSDBs.
