Coralogix vs. InfluxDB

Great product that answers the needs it is meant to solve. Amazing customer support and obsession with customers. Capable of providing an end-to-end view of business processes as well as user journeys by providing a full visual trace across services and different components within the system. This helps reduce the time it takes to identify and solve production problems by a significant amount.

InfluxDB is a time series database and should be used in that intent. Each data ingestion streams should be properly configured to ensure optimal database performance. InfluxDB works very well but like any other databases requires maintenance and tuning. We have been using the TICK stack and are very happy with the results.

• Unified platform for logs and traces.
• Enable alerts on anomalies.
• Intuitive interface.

• Time series data
• Very fast queries
• Many options to configure and tune database

• Login issue with SSO: In some cases, the SSO login button is not visible on the Login page. This causes issue to access Coralogix.
• Duplicate Logs: In some cases, we get duplicate logs in Coralogix and it becomes difficult to identify if these are duplicate logs.
• Sometimes the tracing feature has glitches

• Small, but growing community - This database engine's community is much smaller than alternatives. This can make finding a DBA or support less easy, but not impossible.
• Documentation could be improved - The docs for getting started don't effectively lead first-time users to understand how the underlying systems are designed.
• Performance Analysis - There seems to be a lack of tools to give context to slow queries or other performance issues
• Out-of-the-box security - The out of the box security is designed to operate in an internal network and is limited.

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.

The product is easy to use and integrate. The customer support is at a level of its own. There was never a time we needed help with something, and the support wasn't there to provide all the help needed in a very effective and efficient way. Being proactive, suggesting ways to solve and not just answering questions, and providing more knowledge about how the product should be used.

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.

Think of Coralogix as a proactive teammate rather than just a passive tool. Unlike Datadog or New Relic, where you often pay a steep "tax" to index noise just to catch one error, Coralogix analyzes logs in-stream—saving you from surprise bills when containers get noisy. Its automatic clustering spots hidden issues without you writing endless rules, giving you instant clarity where others force you to dig.

We have looked around to find different options we had when we first started to move to cloud. At that time, the options we had is Google Cloud BigTable and InfluxDB. But quickly we realized that InfluxDB is the database specialized in time series database and performs better than other options we have.

• Searchability of logs has improved
• Finding issues during live issues has improved
• Real time monitoring for anomalies in the logs has improved

Incentivized

• 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.
