Room For Improvement

Atera needs improved integration, support, and customization across identity management, mobile, network monitoring, and technician control features.
InfluxDB needs improved UI simplicity, error logging, backup capabilities, query language, clustering, documentation, performance, and security enhancements.
InfluxDB deprecated FluxQL, which was intuitive since developers are already familiar with standard querying.
Chief Technology Officer at Presta Agency
There is room for improvement, such as regarding backups and enhanced security through other types of authentication or encrypted data in TLS.
Network engineer at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
If better documentation were available, allowing me to find everything, including specific port numbers and procedures, it would have been much easier, and I wouldn't have had to spend time researching how to integrate InfluxDB with my Kafka producers and consumers.

Setup Cost

Atera's pricing model offers cost-effective scalability and predictability, with unlimited devices and savings compared to competitors, ideal for enterprises.
InfluxDB's pricing change to a monthly fee affects enterprise costs, while some benefit from unclear setup and licensing details.
We use the open-source version of InfluxDB, so it is free.
Senior System Developer at Norled
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for InfluxDB was great, as I did not use any license.

InfluxDB has positively impacted my organization by solving a monitoring problem that we had, coming up with a solution since we did not have any monitoring system, allowing us to build one from scratch.
Network engineer at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
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.

Owner at Sytex Ltd.
Quick setup and efficient automation boost IT consulting services
It would be beneficial if Atera implemented telephone support for general questions. When onboarding new clients and creating their portal, it would be helpful if presidents or company owners could see the current configuration progress step-by-step, rather than relying solely on email and ticket systems. The task system for technicians could be improved by adding recurring task capabilities. This would allow technicians to have checkmarks and task lists they can mark off as completed. While scalability meets growing needs, there haven't been many additions in the last two years. They are adding new features gradually, but there is always room for improvement.

Senior System Developer at Norled
Tracking vessel movements seamlessly with continuous data collection and query execution
We mainly write and read data from InfluxDB. We perform very simple queries to do time series on a key, which is a unique ID of the vessel. We will select a vessel and select from time to time stamp. That’s what we do. InfluxDB’s core functionality is crucial as it allows us to store our data and execute queries with excellent response times.
