Room For Improvement

Evanios needs better alert management, integration, and cost efficiency, leading users to consider alternatives like PagerDuty for added features.
InfluxDB's user experience needs improvement in interface, scalability, and security; enhancements in integration and advanced features are crucial.
InfluxDB deprecated FluxQL, which was intuitive since developers are already familiar with standard querying.
Chief Technology Officer at Presta Agency
Having a SQL abstraction in InfluxDB could be beneficial, making it more accessible for teams that prefer querying with SQL-style syntax.
Senior System Developer at Norled
It could include automated backup and a monitoring solution for InfluxDB or a script developed by a REST API.
Network engineer at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

InfluxDB's flexible pricing demands strategic planning to balance server needs and costs for both cloud and on-premises solutions.
We use the open-source version of InfluxDB, so it is free.
Senior System Developer at Norled
I find the cloud version pricing of InfluxDB reasonable, and for the on-premises solution we use in our service, we need to purchase licenses.
Team Lead, Software at Energybox
Pricing is based on data volume, retention, and features, which really makes it scalable but requires careful planning to avoid unexpected costs.

Valuable Features

Evanios offers powerful, flexible event processing with seamless ServiceNow integration, user-friendly rule types, and adaptable JavaScript manipulation.
InfluxDB offers robust time-series features, seamless Grafana integration, real-time alerting, scalability, and efficient data handling for diverse applications.
The most important feature for us is low latency, which is crucial in building a high-performance engine for day trading.
Chief Technology Officer at Presta Agency
InfluxDB’s core functionality is crucial as it allows us to store our data and execute queries with excellent response times.
Senior System Developer at Norled
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.

Customizable solution that provides the ability to ingest alerts from different systems
The price could be cheaper. That was one reason why we switched to PagerDuty. We wanted to switch to something that provided the same features but at a lower cost. We also switched because PagerDuty provided other features like integration with ServiceNow and the scheduling of engineers. Evanios was only for event integration. Evanios created too much noise. For every alert, it would create an incident. We received too many alerts and incidents from monitoring. It wasn't able to intelligently ingest alerts. It created 4,000 incident tickets in a month, which didn't reflect what was happening. If we received an alert, the synthetic monitoring and volume drop would give us the same alert. Evanios should include alert ingestion and de-duplication of alerts and noise reduction. We couldn't have people resolving each and every incident. PagerDuty gives us reports on how many alerts are being ingested, how many are noise, how many have bigger incidents, and which of the alerts are creating noise. It would be helpful if Evanios had metrics on the amount of alerts and types of the alerts to show which ones were serious incidents and which ones were just noise.

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.
