Mugeesh Husain - PeerSpot reviewer
Team Lead, Software at Energybox
Time series data has been managed efficiently for IoT sensors but reporting still needs improvement
How InfluxDB can be improved is relevant since for Energy Box, we face certain issues. We have customers worldwide, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe, but when we expanded to China two years ago, they indicated that they do not support the cloud version there. Our application is built on the cloud, which required us to create a separate application for Azure China, which was painful for us. The second issue involves frequent version changes. For example, we started with version one, transitioned to version two, and I heard they are considering InfluxDB version three, reverting to earlier practices. InfluxDB should improve without completely changing its approach. Now we have to redo our work for InfluxDB version three. Regarding needed improvements, the documentation is sufficient, but pricing presents a challenge. InfluxDB has standard pricing, which is acceptable for large companies. However, for startups in our position, they should provide special discounts so everyone can utilize it. The pricing should adapt as companies grow, which is a reasonable expectation.

Users value data-driven insights for optimizing business operations
The most important features are the site-to-site user experience, including details like how many users are on a site, the number of users on an SSID, and identifying guest users in business premises. These features help in understanding peak times during business hours and are highly valued by customers in Qatar.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The platform operates very quickly. It is easy to configure, connect, and query and integrates seamlessly with Grafana."
"The solution is very powerful."
"InfluxDB's best feature is that it's a cloud offering. Other good features include its time-series DB, fast time-bulk queries, and window operations."
"Based on InfluxDB, we have great analytics produced by our SRE team, and with that, we have an alerting and monitoring system in place."
"InfluxDB positively impacts my organization because I have optimized my database storage, and by using powerful queries, I am able to find my data logs efficiently and also manage logging."
"The most valuable features of InfluxDB are the documentation and performance, and the good plugins metrics in the ecosystem."
"It helps me maintain my solution easily because it is very reliable, so we didn't face any performance issues or crashes regarding our queries; we can get the results very fast."
"Prior to InfluxDB usage, real-time data was not visualized and monitored, and after the introduction of InfluxDB in the entire framework, the organization is benefiting a lot in terms of monitoring and understanding performance data in real-time."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
"The solution is stable due to its Cloud-based nature, which eliminates downtime or crashing issues."
 

Cons

"The solution doesn't have much of a user interface."
"However, I cannot ignore the challenges I faced while configuring the database with my message brokers, whether Rabbit or Kafka, because the documentation is not properly provided."
"However, I do wish the documentation and community resources around Flux were more extensive and beginner-friendly."
"In terms of features that I would like to see or have, in the community version, some features are not available. I would like to have clustering and authentication in the community version."
"It is challenging to get long-running backups while running InfluxDB in a Microsoft Azure Kubernetes cluster."
"The solution's UI can be more user-friendly."
"If it gets a little bit more into the metric side, then it would really be great, similar to Prometheus."
"InfluxDB can be improved in several ways. The Flux query language needs to be learned, but if there were something similar to SQL or previous options, it would be much easier for users without imposing a learning curve."
"Before October 2024, there was room for improvement in the UI to make it more user-friendly. The Client Insight page on Juniper Mist Premium Analytics could be made simpler."
"The technical support needs improvement."
"The Wi-Fi side needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is an open-source product."
"We are using the open-source version of InfluxDB."
"InfluxDB is open-source, but there are additional costs for scaling."
"InfluxDB recently increased its price. It is very expensive now."
"The solution is expensive."
