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.

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

"InfluxDB works as expected with excellent scalability and stability, which is critical for our application."
"InfluxDB is a database where you can insert data. However, it would be best if you had different components for alerting, data sending, and visualization. You need to install tools to collect data from servers. It must be installed on Windows or Linux servers. During installation, ensure that the configuration file is correct to prevent issues. Once data is collected, it can be sent to InfluxDB. For visualization, you can use open-source tools like Grafana."
"The solution is very powerful."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"InfluxDB has positively impacted Energy Box by being the best choice for our needs."
"As a time series database, it is very powerful and lightweight, and it can deal with heavy workloads very easily."
"The solution is stable due to its Cloud-based nature, which eliminates downtime or crashing issues."
"The single dashboard is a valuable feature."
"We can manage the entire system across the network and troubleshoot the pain points."
 

Cons

"I haven't seen a return on investment; unfortunately, I cannot share relevant metrics such as time saved, fewer employees needed, or money saved."
"Customer support is fair enough but can be improved."
"If it gets a little bit more into the metric side, then it would really be great, similar to Prometheus."
"One area for improvement is the querying language. InfluxDB deprecated FluxQL, which was intuitive since developers are already familiar with standard querying."
"However, I do wish the documentation and community resources around Flux were more extensive and beginner-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"InfluxDB is open-source, but there are additional costs for scaling."
"We are using the open-source version of InfluxDB."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"The solution is expensive."
