Room For Improvement

InfluxDB should enhance its query language, scalability, documentation, and integration while improving performance, security, and pricing flexibility.
Moogsoft users want better API integration, predictive analytics, dashboards, multi-cloud support, and enhanced AI-driven IT operations features.
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
Introducing machine learning and AI features would enhance Moogsoft, streamlining IT operations, incident detection, and response management.
L1 Analyst at HCLTech
I would like to see Moogsoft improve on coming up with some agentic solutions for whatever they have been able to automate.
CTO at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
 

Setup Cost

InfluxDB provides cost-effective scalability for enterprises, but requires careful cost planning due to increasing subscription prices.
Moogsoft's AI ops solution is affordable and flexible, offering competitive pricing with various licensing options compared to competitors.
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
If you compare Moogsoft's pricing with some of the other combined solutions, they are not very cheap, but I don't think they are at the top end of the market either.
CTO at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

InfluxDB excels in fast writes, real-time analytics, seamless integration, scalability, and ease of use, enhancing organizational decision-making.
Moogsoft enhances IT operations using AI for noise reduction, event correlation, and improved incident response with collaborative alert management.
The most important feature for us is low latency, which is crucial in building a high-performance engine for day trading.
Chief Technology Officer at Presta Agency
InfluxDB’s core functionality is crucial as it allows us to store our data and execute queries with excellent response times.

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.

Effective monitoring and efficient alert management streamline operations
Machine learning works based on past collected data, so we can develop a system that functions as an automated bot using this data. With the use of AI technologies such as ChatGPT and other Gen AI solutions, if we combine these with machine learning tools, it will lead to increased efficiency and reduced processing time in application systems. I work on the backend to address any issues with Moogsoft, such as URL access problems or credential bugs, ensuring everything operates smoothly. The advantage of Moogsoft is that it consolidates various alerts into one monitoring tool, which reduces time and allows for real-time and anomaly detection, while its disadvantage includes limited built-in observability and complex setup requirements. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Moogsoft a 9.
