Amazon Athena vs InfluxDB

Likelihood to Recommend

Amazon Athena is well suited for those who want to be able to use SQL queries to look at and analyze their data. Once you get up and running with the system and have all of your preferences ironed out, this is a very simple to understand and easy to use program that can help make information-based decisions. How could you not love that!?

InfluxDB is very good at storing monitoring metrics (e.g. performance data). InfluxDB is not the right choice if you need to store other data types (like plain text, data relations etc.).

Pay only for the data you store. Huge money-saver right there.
Being able to query using a browser-based system.
Compatibility with other programs is a nice feature that is very useful.

Cons

I wish that the program provided individualized access for different users instead of everyone seeing everything.
Initial setup can be a bit tedious for those unfamiliar with this type of querying.
Support can be a little lacking when it comes to additional features.

InfluxDB 9.1

Based on 2 answers

InfluxDB is a near perfect product for time series database engines. The relatively small list of cons are heavily outweighed by it's ability to just work and be a very flexible and powerful database engine. The community and support provided by the corporation are the only areas I have little experience.

To be honest, I didn't look at alternatives since InfluxDB performs very well if you can oversee the lack of security and HA features. But for all challenges, there is an easy solution which brings you forward (e.g. read load balancing can be achieved by using a common HTTPS load balancer).

Return on Investment

Aided in decision making processes that has saved money for departments and the company.
The program takes over doing the majority of the work that used to be manual for a lot of people. Fantastic time-saver.
The program makes other programs not as useful as they once were, which helped save money.
