Room For Improvement

InfluxDB needs improved UI simplicity, error logging, backup capabilities, query language, clustering, documentation, performance, and security enhancements.
OpsRamp needs improvements in ITSM maturity, user interface, automation, alert accuracy, support, and AIOps capabilities to stay competitive.
InfluxDB deprecated FluxQL, which was intuitive since developers are already familiar with standard querying.
Chief Technology Officer at Presta Agency
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
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
Technical support should be improved.
Software engineer at Mphasis
 

Setup Cost

InfluxDB's pricing change to a monthly fee affects enterprise costs, while some benefit from unclear setup and licensing details.
OpsRamp provides an economical, clear licensing model with annual resource-based bundles, offering cost-effective access to the full platform.
We use the open-source version of InfluxDB, so it is free.
Senior System Developer at Norled
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for InfluxDB was great, as I did not use any license.
Network engineer at a energy/utilities company with 10,001+ employees
it does not strike me as expensive, and the licensing model is clear enough.

Senior System Developer at Norled
Tracking vessel movements seamlessly with continuous data collection and query execution
We mainly write and read data from InfluxDB. We perform very simple queries to do time series on a key, which is a unique ID of the vessel. We will select a vessel and select from time to time stamp. That’s what we do. InfluxDB’s core functionality is crucial as it allows us to store our data and execute queries with excellent response times.

System Integration Advisor at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Provides robust infrastructure monitoring with excellent integrations and alert predictions but needs improved AIOps capabilities
If we treat OpsRamp as an infrastructure monitoring tool, there are many positive aspects. However, when viewed as an AIOps tool, there are numerous potential additions. Currently, it performs infrastructure monitoring but has limited capability in application monitoring, which needs improvement. They are introducing observability as a feature where metrics, logs, and traces can be implemented, but this is currently in a primitive state that can grow over time. The platform is very stable, and the UI is excellent. However, regarding AIOps features, enhancements could be made to provide more value, such as dynamic thresholding and other capabilities that competitor tools have, such as LogicMonitor.
