InfluxDB is stable and reliable, with occasional data loss, manageable with Kafka; supporting various applications efficiently.
It serves as the backbone of our application, and its stability is crucial.
Senior System Developer at Norled
After integrating Kafka, it never broke again, as Kafka handled messages and metrics appropriately, decreasing the message throughput.
Deployment Engineer at Derq
It is very stable, with no reliability or downtime in InfluxDB.

Room For Improvement

Evanios needs better alert management, integration, and cost efficiency, leading users to consider alternatives like PagerDuty for added 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
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.

Setup Cost

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.

Valuable Features

Evanios offers powerful, flexible event processing with seamless ServiceNow integration, user-friendly rule types, and adaptable JavaScript manipulation.
InfluxDB offers efficient time series capabilities and integration, ideal for high-performance data analysis and visualization in various projects.
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
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 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.

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.

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.
