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.

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."
"This product has been working well and it is serving our purpose, so I can recommend it to others."
"As a time series database, it is very powerful and lightweight, and it can deal with heavy workloads very easily."
"InfluxDB works as expected with excellent scalability and stability, which is critical for our application."
"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 solution is very powerful."
"The most valuable features of InfluxDB are the documentation and performance, and the good plugins metrics in the ecosystem."
"Based on InfluxDB, we have great analytics produced by our SRE team, and with that, we have an alerting and monitoring system in place."
"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

"InfluxDB can improve by including new metrics on other technologies. They had some changes recently to pool data from endpoints but the functionality is not good enough in the industry."
"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."
"The error logging capability can be improved because the logs are not very informative."
"The solution doesn't have much of a user interface."
"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."
"InfluxDB cannot be used for high-cardinality data. It's also difficult and time-consuming to write queries, and there are some issues with bulk API."
"One area for improvement is the querying language. InfluxDB deprecated FluxQL, which was intuitive since developers are already familiar with standard querying."
"It is challenging to get long-running backups while running InfluxDB in a Microsoft Azure Kubernetes cluster."
"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

"InfluxDB recently increased its price. It is very expensive now."
"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."
"The solution is expensive."
