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.

Handles large data volumes effectively but connection issues require attention
The Oracle NoSQL solution is used primarily for storing data for our web applications. We work alongside the DBA team for this purpose, given that specific departments manage aspects of its use. We choose it specifically to handle large scales of data, such as in one of our bank customer's scenarios using more than nine hundred gigabytes of data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution is very powerful."
"Because of reduced downtime, we benefit greatly from receiving alerts in advance."
"Based on InfluxDB, we have great analytics produced by our SRE team, and with that, we have an alerting and monitoring system in place."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is we can use InfluxDB to integrate with and plug into any other tools."
"Overall, InfluxDB delivered excellent performance, stability, and simplicity for telemetry-driven use cases."
"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."
"InfluxDB reduced my time to show data without any interruption, also reducing the number of people needed to manage the project; it is very good to have InfluxDB in my project."
"InfluxDB has positively impacted Energy Box by being the best choice for our needs."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"Try it! You’ll be impressed."
"So far, we find stability to be very reasonable, it is dependable and we do not have any big issues."
"NoSQL has high availability; I think it's perfect from a technical perspective, and it's quick to run and go."
"With Oracle NoSQL, our clients have a highly scalable, simple to set up database that performs very well when data is organized correctly from the beginning."
"Oracle NoSQL is pretty scalable."
"The features I've found to be most valuable are the speed of reading and writing (read/write performance levels are really high), the transactions model (semantics for data manipulation), and just the overall simplicity of using it."
"The tool is easy to learn."
 

Cons

"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."
"If it gets a little bit more into the metric side, then it would really be great, similar to Prometheus."
"It is challenging to get long-running backups while running InfluxDB in a Microsoft Azure Kubernetes cluster."
"The solution's UI can be more user-friendly."
"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."
"The error logging capability can be improved because the logs are not very informative."
"One area for improvement is the querying language. InfluxDB deprecated FluxQL, which was intuitive since developers are already familiar with standard querying."
"I haven't seen a return on investment; unfortunately, I cannot share relevant metrics such as time saved, fewer employees needed, or money saved."
"We've had some issues with stability. During our testing, we were able to drop an entire database by writing huge amounts of data."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
"Personally, I’d like to see some improvements in the monitoring UI for it."
"I would rate Oracle NoSQL six or 6.5 out of ten based on my experience."
"The installation is difficult."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
"The main areas that need improvement with NoSQL are in the area of big data and user-friendly presentation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the open-source version of InfluxDB."
"The tool is an open-source product."
"InfluxDB is open-source, but there are additional costs for scaling."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
