ArangoDB Reviews & Product Details - Page 10

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

Foxx

With Foxx you can create Restful API directly in the heart of the database. You save HTTP requests and it's very fast. You API will scale with your cluster.

You can even run scripts in background using queues (for email sending by example)

Graph

You can create graph and use them very easily.

AQL

The AQL language is very easy to understand. The learning curve is short.

JOINS

In one request you can get the data you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Nothing for now. I can do anything I want with this database.

I didn't test yet the rocksdb storage ... So I can't tell about performances using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

The ability to have a document store with joins and graph connections with cluster support is amazing. The Foxx framework makes a very convenient way to embed logic into the database and provide a clean interface for any REST interface. Web interface is really nice.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Often find queries that are really slow - but usually just an index issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

ArangoDB is a very intuitive, developer friendly, multi-model database. It has excellent graph features allowing it to be used as a single data source for a variety of client applications. I like the new velocypack and velocstream protocol as it allows a full-duplex, persistent connection from the client. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Nothing really. I haven't had a change to play with some of the newest (rocksdb, smart graphs) or distributive features (clustering and agency), but if they are like the rest of the platform, I'm sure they are top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

Before I decided to take ArangoDB as the DB for our project I did a lot of comparing the different players on the market.

What struck me the most was the ease to get going with ArangoDB, both in installing and using it from our application which is entirely written in PowerShell. Manipulating the data using REST and AQL is just a dream come true. I really adore AQL.

Getting the other team members up to speed almost took no effort at all. The documentation is more than sufficient and yes, the training material could use some improvement compared to that other big name in NoSQL land, but I really did not miss it at all.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

The fact that Windows Server is not really considered as a production platform for ArangoDB is sad. Given the nature of our application, it has to be written on Windows and we (our team) only works on Windows servers.

For our project database size and numbers of connections are of less importance than the complexity of the application and the data models. A topic to be discussed with the ArangoDB staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

AQL! Literally the easiest and easiest to understand query language I've used as of yet. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Nothing yet. ArangoDB seems to keep saying yes to everything I want to do. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

Graph analysis is very easy, the database helps a lot in connecting different entities rather than bringing them to Spark then try to find those connections, which gives a lot of flexibility and speed boost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

No ANSI SQL support, I was hopping for SQL support, that was a disappointing thing to learn a new language. We use CQL at the moment, Spark SQL, and SQL on MySQL, now we have to adapt to AQL which is an unnecessary overhead in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

The query language, AQL, of course! I often found myself doing things in AQL that I would have before used a programming language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Because it is young, there is less community support and fewer third-party packages available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

ArangoDB's speed is nothing short of exceptional. Additionally, AQL has made my time spent creating queries be cut in half over other document or relational databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

I would like more documentation and support for clustering outside the realms of DC/OS and Mesos. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

Super efficient Multi-Model engine. Having a schemaless db is definitely a positive in this day and age of MVP, but one that can efficiently perform all aspects of common development and business logic woes, is a rare find. I've had my faith in ArangoDb for over 3 years now, after being burnt by several Db's, MongoDB included. Not until recently have I really started to aggressively use it, and I am so excited to know that it's passing all my requirements I feel I can deliver a product that will scale and enable me to compete with some of the biggest names out there at a fraction of the time and cost! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Too much freedom! When confronted with a multi-model approach, it's easy to separate your data across the models as one would think appropriate. However, it's often the case that the data is actually used differently based on the different circumstances, something that I learnt rather than got guided on. I do feel you are left to swim on your own in this sea of possibility. And it has taken me 10's of hours to understand it. Whilst the Arango team are there on Slack, I feel there should be more 'instructors' who can advise on how to use the technology best to the problems a new user may face rather than focus on the technical questions / issues. I had nearly lost faith and settled on what I considered a poor performing query but, through persisting for hours, I go the result I wanted...but those 10hrs+ could have been saved perhaps if an Arango team member just gave .a little guidance to how best their tool would perform in the area I was researching...

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

ArangoDB is the most versatile database I have ever used. It also is open source, has a strong and growing community, and tremendous technical support. The performance is also stellar and they offer a unique solution to horizontally scaling graph databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Currently, unless you are running a DC/OS cluster, setting up an ArangoDB cluster is a bit of work. Although not much more than mongoDB or other competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
