• The open source version does not have ACLs, which is crucial for enterprise customers
• The open source version has no high availability or clustering option, even the enterprise edition is limited in this way
• The open source and the enterprise versions both have no read load-balancing systems (sharding is possible, though)
• Backup and recovery can only be performed for all data sets, not for subsets

• Configuration has taken some serious time out.
• Garbage collection tuning. is a constant hassle. time and effort applied to it, vs dedicating resources elsewhere.
• w/ sql support, reduces the need of devs to generate the resultset for analysts, when they can run queries themselves (if they know sql).

• InfluxDB is a quick and easy solution if the customers need to store and handle large amounts of time-series data
• InfluxDB is so simple that almost no training is needed
• InfluxDB had a negative impact in terms of security since the open-source version lacks relevant features; therefore all customers have to build their own security solution on top of InfluxDB if they can't afford the enterprise version
