Movement

This is the first edition on this tier, so no move can be computed for OpenTSDB yet. From the next edition this section shows, per buyer segment and per category, whether its share moved by more than the measured noise floor.

By model

By framing

Which of the six questions produced the naming. By model says how often; this says asked what. The first-choice count on the right carries the marks of the models that produced it.

What the models said for it

Verbatim evidence the judge attached to positive labels.

No positive label carried a quote.

And against it

Verbatim evidence attached to negative labels. A warning on a product with few labels is a warning; on a product with many, it is one voice among them.

“it's outdated (last major updates ~2010s), hard to operate at scale ... When to skip: Anything but massive, distributed legacy setups” Grok 4.1 Fast · Time series DBs · negative prompt · hard negative

“Older HBase-based/ community TSDBs such as OpenTSDB and KairosDB are generally discouraged for new greenfield work.” Muse Glimmer 30B · Time series DBs · negative prompt · hard negative

“The most *dangerous* choice is OpenTSDB (abandoned, vulnerable, complex)” DeepSeek V4 Flash · Time series DBs · negative prompt · hard negative

“Today, it is largely deprecated and abandoned” Gemini 3.5 Flash · Time series DBs · negative prompt · hard negative

What carried it into the answer

The sites and pages cited by the answers that named OpenTSDB. A fact about retrieval, not a lever on the model.

Citations exist only for the models that return a source list, five of the fourteen in this edition, so these counts come from 24 of the 27 answers that named OpenTSDB and are not a share of its labels.

Search figures are US estimates from DataForSEO, read October 5, 2026; AI search demand is its modeled, directional estimate, not a count of queries to any assistant. The answers are this edition's. Two measurements side by side: neither is read as the cause of the other.

Names read as OpenTSDB

Claim this page

Claiming is free and changes nothing in the data. A claimed page shows a verified contact who is told when each edition publishes and when OpenTSDB's standing changes by more than the noise floor; the right to propose corrections to the vendor table, meaning names the judge wrote that should or should not read as OpenTSDB, applied by version and listed in the change log; and a one-line description supplied by the vendor and marked as such.

What a new claim receivesHide what a new claim receives

A new claim receives the current edition's vendor brief for OpenTSDB by email, built from the raw record of the edition. It shows:

where OpenTSDB is named, by buyer and by framing, and which cells hold its first choices;
the claims the models make when they name it, ranked, with the strongest and the weakest quoted;
its vocabulary against the segment leader's, and the pages the models cited;
who was chosen in the answers that did not name OpenTSDB, and every reason the record gives;
a battlecard for each top rival: the head-to-head split, why they win, and the reservation quoted against them;
one page of published figures cleared to show a buyer.
