Room For Improvement

InfluxDB should enhance its query language, scalability, documentation, and integration while improving performance, security, and pricing flexibility.
ManageEngine OpManager needs better support, interface, pricing, customization, AI integration, and virtual deployment to match competitors.

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.

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.

Reporting features improve operational efficiency while weekend support needs enhancement
Support is moderate and needs improvement, especially during weekends when technicians perform upgrades. During weekends, they need to provide more support to ensure a smooth transition. There is a call for ManageEngine OpManager to scale better in automation and AI functionality. Although the product stability is good, support enhancement is necessary to enable better planning for upgrades and maintenance activities.
