User Testimonials
	CrateDB	InfluxDB
Likelihood to Recommend	Crate.io Inc No answers on this topic	InfluxData 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.). Incentivized Valentin Höbel Senior Consultant IT Infrastructure Read full review
Pros	Crate.io Inc No answers on this topic	InfluxData Perfect handling telemetry data. Low latency, near real time. SQL-like language makes it easier to query. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Cons	Crate.io Inc No answers on this topic	InfluxData GUI based administrator console Incentivized Stephane Abitbol Enterprise Systems Manager Specialist Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Crate.io Inc No answers on this topic	InfluxData 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. Incentivized Jonathan Yarbor CEO & Co-Founder Read full review
Support Rating	Crate.io Inc No answers on this topic	InfluxData 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. Incentivized Stephane Abitbol Enterprise Systems Manager Specialist Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Crate.io Inc No answers on this topic	InfluxData 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	Crate.io Inc No answers on this topic	InfluxData 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
