does not work as expected
This review does not judge the InfluxDB product itself, but this AWS Marketplace offering.
For our company, we did not manage to get this product working. Creating the AWS Marketplace linked account at InfluxData always failed with a 500 server error at Influx, resulting in a free-only account, which was not fully functional.
Even working for 4 weeks on this topic together with the influx support team, with several emails and web-meetings, did not help. The influx development team could not identify and solve the issues.
Does not scale
What do you like best about the product?
Flexibility -- you can add database columns on-the-fly at run-time.
UDP or TCP -- go with UDP for efficiency or TCP for guaranteed delivery.
Easy time series data -- that's what it's made for.

What do you dislike about the product?
Poor performance -- queries to check data would often timeout and fail.
Limited SQL -- very limited SQL syntax was frustrating -- queries from Internet could not be copied and pasted.
Unreliable -- could not handle all of are data, so we throttled and threw away most of the data, defeating the purpose.
Too flexible -- too easy to accidentally create duplicate columns. It's like going back to BASIC programming days where variables don't have to be declared.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used it for logging information from mobile apps. Arguably it is not a logging product, but a series of log messages is a time series as far as I am concerned.
The logs did help us troubleshoot problems -- when we could get the SQL syntax to work and not time out.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure it is fit for your purpose and can handle enough data before you commit to the tool
