InfluxDB Valuable Features

PedroCampos - PeerSpot reviewer

I use Kapacitor a lot. It is the feature that allows us to create batch jobs and interact with the data that we have. That's the most interesting feature. 

The query language is very similar to SQL, which is very useful because most of us have a background in SQL language.

They have the Telegraf agent that gets the data and puts it in Influx. We can also put data into Influx through the API. We are doing a lot of custom-based agents and a lot of scripts that are adding data to Influx. As a time series database, it is very powerful and lightweight. It can deal with heavy workloads very easily. That, for me, is the main advantage of Influx as compared to other databases.

The user interface is well-designed and easy to use. It provides a clear overview of the data, making it simple to understand the information at hand.

InfluxDB's best feature is that it's a cloud offering. Other good features include its time-series DB, fast time-bulk queries, and window operations.

The solution is very powerful.

The solution is easy to use and easy to learn.

Influx Series Ten, in particular, is a strong application.

The most valuable features are aggregating the data and the integration with Grafana for monitoring.

We have been looking at the continuous query feature and think that it might solve one of our use cases, but we have not implemented it yet. We are trying to do that now.
