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.

Struggled with complex licensing and limited support but have gained unified cloud monitoring

We face certain challenges with monitoring website uptime for our business operations because we don't have that 24/7 monitoring, so that's what we are working with ManageEngine on, regarding how effectively we can use that. I may not be able to give that information on how ManageEngine Site24x7 can be improved, but I felt that the monitoring or the licensing terms, such as the advanced monitors or monitors, are not very user-friendly. I feel that because I don't know how exactly we can check what devices use which license and how we can control those things; that's not user-friendly. For example, if I have to look at what all devices are utilizing my advanced monitor license or what all devices are using my basic monitor license, then if I want to pull a report or validate them, I don't have an easy option; it's too complicated.

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."

"The most valuable features of InfluxDB are the documentation and performance, and the good plugins metrics in the ecosystem."

"Because of reduced downtime, we benefit greatly from receiving alerts in advance."

"The solution is very powerful."

"In our case, it started with a necessity to fill the gap that we had in monitoring. We had very reactive monitoring without trend analysis and without some advanced features. We were able to implement them by using a time series database. We are able to have all the data from applications, logs, and systems, and we can use a simple query language to correlate all the data and make things happen, especially with monitoring. We could more proactively monitor our systems and our players' trends."

"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 most valuable features of InfluxDB are the documentation and performance, and the good plugins metrics in the ecosystem."

"InfluxDB has played a key role in enhancing system reliability and supporting our goal of delivering a seamless, high-quality product."

More InfluxDB pros

"The deployment was not a challenge for us, because we are just trying to connect to the cloud instance; it's SaaS-based, so we just had to route all our traffic to that particular device."

"Site24x7 stands out. It is truly amazing."

"One of the valuable features of this site is that it operates 24/7, monitoring my entire infrastructure, uptime, and related error issues."

Cons

"Sometimes, when we write too much data within a minute, the data count becomes excessive, reaching perhaps 100,000 or 500,000 data points, and InfluxDB gives a timeout exception, which we must handle in our application."

"The interface of InfluxDB is so complex and should be made easier for non-technical people."

"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."

"However, I do wish the documentation and community resources around Flux were more extensive and beginner-friendly."

"InfluxDB is generally stable, but we've encountered issues with the configuration file in our ticket stack. For instance, a mistake in one of the metrics out of a hundred KPIs can disrupt data collection for all KPIs. This happens because the agent stops working if there's an issue with any configuration part. To address this, it is essential to ensure that all configurations are part of the agent's EXE file when provided. This makes it easier to package the agent for server installation and ensures all KPIs are available from the server. Additionally, the agent cannot encrypt and decrypt passwords for authentication, which can be problematic when monitoring URLs or requiring authentication tokens. This requires additional scripting and can prolong service restart times."

"The error logging capability can be improved because the logs are not very informative."

"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."

More InfluxDB cons

"The only complaint I would state about the technical support by ManageEngine is we don't get them on call; it's only email support that we get."

"The product is not difficult to use. That said, it is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."

"It is technical. The engineer must be familiar with it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"InfluxDB is open-source, but there are additional costs for scaling."

"The tool is an open-source product."

"We are using the open-source version of InfluxDB."

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