There were concerns about data loss due to infrastructure limitations. We couldn't back up data locally if we were using the InfluxDB cloud, which was a major drawback. So, InfluxDB could improve its data backup capabilities. Having a backup option would allow us to save data and avoid relying solely on cloud infrastructure. We've experienced data loss incidents in the past, so backup is crucial. I've tried both on-premises and cloud-based deployments, and each has its limitations.

The solution's UI can be more user-friendly. I would like to have better more detailed documentation on how to integrate the solution with other tools.

InfluxDB cannot be used for high-cardinality data. It's also difficult and time-consuming to write queries, and there are some issues with bulk API.

Influx has TICK Stack, which contains multiple services and multiple products that work together. InfluxDB is just a time series database, and it works really well. I haven't yet had the time to look into the new stack based on Influx 2.0, but currently, as a time series database, InfluxDB is working the way it is supposed to work. 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. I would also like to have high availability features, such as replication, active-active, etc. If they can put an extra plugin or service on top of it, it would be something interesting. I am not sure if they have high availability to make it data center-aware for clustering. For example, I am not sure whether you can have it at different locations with big clusters that are location-aware. Even in their documentation or presentation, they talk too little about high availability and extended clusters with different locations. They might already have it in the newer versions. We have Influx 1.8 in our production in the stage and internal workloads environments. The other products in their ecosystem, such as Chronograf, can be improved. Chronograf is a dashboarding or visualization layer product, and that, for sure, can be improved.

InfluxDB can improve by including new metrics on other technologies. They had some changes recently to pool data from endpoints but the functionality is not good enough in the industry. In the next release, it would be beneficial if they added more query language compatibility it is critical for us.

The initial setup is a little bit complex. The error logging capability can be improved because the logs are not very informative.

The solution doesn't have much of a user interface. The integration of Chronograf and Capacitor is not so good. They could work to make it better.
