Moogsoft is an IT alert management platform from the San Francisco-headquartered company of the same name with an office in the UK... also comprising the original developers of IBM's acquired Netcool technology.
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.
Moogsoft is a very good event management tool that not only fulfills the event handling requirement but on top of it does the following: 1. Event Handling from multiple data sources. 2. Scalable solution and includes multi-tenancy 3. Out-of-the-box integrations and customized options are available. 4. AIOps and ML capabilities. 5. Cost optimized solution
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.
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.
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.
Moogsoft has the similar capabilities as of SPLUNK, MuleSoft and ServiceNow however it's a unique product in terms of its internal functioning and application framework. While ServiceNow is a SaaS application Moogsoft on the other side comes with On-Prem as well as SaaS offering which gives pretty much flexibility in choosing the right solution as per the customer requirement.
