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.

AI assistant has transformed network troubleshooting and now reduces downtime and support tickets
Marvis Virtual Network Assistant has resolved all problems that network administrators face, making it challenging to identify areas for improvement. Marvis provides good analytics, recommendations, and problem resolutions. One potential enhancement would be to add different languages for different countries because Marvis currently uses only English. For example, since I live in Ukraine, it would be beneficial to communicate with Marvis in Ukrainian because not all administrators know English.

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."
"My advice for others looking into using InfluxDB is to use it the same way I did, because it is really stable, easy and friendly to use, and it is a great product overall."
"This product has been working well and it is serving our purpose, so I can recommend it to others."
"InfluxDB has played a key role in enhancing system reliability and supporting our goal of delivering a seamless, high-quality product."
"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."
"I recommend going with the cloud version of InfluxDB, as it's very cheap and effective."
"Based on InfluxDB, we have great analytics produced by our SRE team, and with that, we have an alerting and monitoring system in place."
"Overall, InfluxDB delivered excellent performance, stability, and simplicity for telemetry-driven use cases."
"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant uses AI to find problems or to get information from devices."
"I believe the pricing of Marvis Virtual Network Assistant is reasonable because it allows for a decrease in the quantity of network administrators needed and reduces operational costs."
"If you ask any questions about Marvis, it will respond immediately and use some solution. It will be very easy and save you time."
 

Cons

"I chose an 8 out of 10 because there is room for improvement, such as regarding backups and enhanced security through other types of authentication or encrypted data in TLS."
"InfluxDB can be improved in several ways. The Flux query language needs to be learned, but if there were something similar to SQL or previous options, it would be much easier for users without imposing a learning curve."
"I haven't seen a return on investment; unfortunately, I cannot share relevant metrics such as time saved, fewer employees needed, or money saved."
"One area for improvement is the querying language. InfluxDB deprecated FluxQL, which was intuitive since developers are already familiar with standard querying."
"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."
"Customer support is fair enough but can be improved."
"The solution's UI can be more user-friendly."
"However, I do wish the documentation and community resources around Flux were more extensive and beginner-friendly."
"It would be a good idea to integrate the solution to support other vendors besides Juniper."
"One potential enhancement would be to add different languages for different countries because Marvis currently uses only English."
"It should add real-time application visibility."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is an open-source product."
"InfluxDB is open-source, but there are additional costs for scaling."
"We are using the open-source version of InfluxDB."
"Marvis Virtual Network Assistant is not an expensive solution."
