Room For Improvement

InfluxDB requires improvements in query language, UI, pricing, documentation, scalability, cloud integration, and support for non-technical users.
ManageEngine OpManager needs better support, interface, pricing, customization, AI integration, and virtual deployment to match competitors.
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
If identifying the interface was easier, it would take less time to configure.
Junior System Engineer at Corporate Projukti Limited
There is a call for ManageEngine OpManager to scale better in automation and AI functionality.
Deputy Director at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees
Improving the after-sales support and learning materials for local engineers and partners to enhance their capacities and expertise.
Technical Solution Specialist at Crypto-gen
 

Setup Cost

InfluxDB's pricing shift to a monthly model prompts enterprises to consider open-source options for cost-effective scalability and flexibility.
ManageEngine OpManager offers competitive and negotiable yearly pricing, perceived variably by users, with separate add-on costs.
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.
Senior Data Engineer at a university with 201-500 employees
Pricing for ManageEngine OpManager is good and negotiable with the distributor;
Senior Engineer - Network & Security at Altria Consulting
The cost is quite high-end for ManageEngine OpManager, especially in our very price-sensitive market here in Sri Lanka.
Technical Solution Specialist at Crypto-gen
Based on my experience and use case, the setup cost and price of ManageEngine OpManager is good.
Project Engineer at IT Solution

Featured Reviews

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.

Has helped centrally manage users and assets while making operational tasks more efficient
The main drawback is there is less documentation available, both public documentation and partner-available documentation. The learning materials are very limited, and there is also a limitation of support SLA. It takes a huge amount of time to resolve certain issues when ManageEngine OpManager technical support gets involved. The expertise of support is limited. Reporting could be improved with more details. The content and richness can be improved on the reports. To make ManageEngine OpManager a better product, the first priority is improving the after-sales support and learning materials for local engineers and partners to enhance their capacities and expertise. The second priority is improving the product itself, including dashboards and reporting enrichment. Lastly, new feature adoption such as DLP or endpoint monitoring should be considered. Features that should be offered include DLP, Privileged User Access, data classification, and MDR. These are features that can be groomed around the MMS if properly configured.
