InfluxDB Other Advice

PedroCampos - PeerSpot reviewer

It depends a lot on what you are going to use it for but just enjoy it. It is very powerful. I would advise learning the TICKscript language. I know that the latest Influx 2.0 is using a different language than Influx SQL, but I would advise learning how to develop using their framework. You will see how powerful it is to use for a big data cluster. So, explore the batch processing and the scripting language that they have in 2.0. We use TICKscript, which is very powerful and allows you to do everything you need.

I would rate it an eight out of ten.

Overall, I would rate the solution a seven out of ten because InfluxDB needs to remove the limitations so users can see all their data. This was a huge headache for me because we got hit twice or thrice.

If you're considering using InfluxDB for the first time, I recommend trying it. It's an open-source database with the option to purchase enterprise support. 
When purchasing the TICK stack, I recommend you opt for premium support. Premium support can be beneficial, particularly when encountering configuration issues or other challenges. With premium support, you can quickly reach out for assistance via phone and work towards resolving any issues promptly. Otherwise, you may wait for up to another week to resolve the problem.

Learning to use InfluxDB is not necessarily easy for a beginner. It requires some understanding, especially in areas like automation and scripting.

I would rate it as an open-source tool around seven to eight out of ten. You only need to spend money on the resources, not much on the product itself. Essentially, you need to invest in the database.

I give the solution a seven out of ten. The monitor is easy to use and integrate. Integration with the tools is very easy, which is why it is comfortable to test and monitor the tools that are connected to InfluxDB. we can then see the results of our monitoring.

We have over 50 people in our organization using InfluxDB and over 500 people testing.

We are using InfluxDB because it is easy to use and in my time, it has helped in live monitoring of the log testing.

For first-time users of the solution, it can be difficult to learn how to write custom data and classify it for monitoring purposes. There are many builder models in the market that can be implemented and used, but if we want to write our own, using InfluxDB can be difficult.

I recommend going with the cloud version of InfluxDB, as it's very cheap and effective. InfluxDB is very powerful, but it requires some technical skill and can't be used by just anyone. I would rate InfluxDB seven out of ten.
