Azure Database vs. InfluxDB

Azure Databases is suitable in situations where users require a cloud space, which holds or takes secure data and makes accessibility easy. More so, Azure Databases supports data migration, which is a professional process of data transfer. The analytical progress from Azure Databases is connected to AI power and has automated reporting.

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.).

• Azure Databases is functional on cloud, giving the users flexibility and accessibility.
• Azure Databases has a high storage space, and high speed processing power.
• The tool is AI powered, hence, reputable for intelligent analysis.

• Perfect handling telemetry data.
• Low latency, near real time.
• SQL-like language makes it easier to query.

• Should develop a friendly and more intuitive dashboard and UI wizard
• Create smart package for fair ratings/prices.
• Improve on documentation and perfect the support response.

• GUI based administrator console

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.

We have worked with the InfluxDB support team a few times so far and it has been positive. Issues submitted are worked on promptly and we have good feedback.

Azure Databases has the data migrating power, which is done with just a press of a button and instant results are attained. Azure Databases has the optimization of performance, which includes an AI, which is intelligent based. Azure Databases has the recent or advanced SQL power, which is easily configurable and allows a safe cloud storage.

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).

• Database security is a positive ROI for users.
• Undisputed cloud space, which control access, and smoothly accessible.
• Automated backup, which fully declassify or eliminate data loss.

• Provided us a time series DB.
• With the SQL-like language, it is very easy to learn.
• Empowered us to keep track of our events.
