Product Description

ArangoDB is a distributed, free, and open-source database with a flexible data model for documents, graphs, and key-values. Build high performance applications using a convenient SQL-like query language or JavaScript extensions.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

ArangoDB doesn’t make you choose between graph, document, vector, key-value, full- text search, or geospatial paradigms. You get it ALL in a single, integrated platform.

Imagine stitching together the results from 6 separate queries written in 6 different query languages. This is the developer’s life in the world of competing solutions. AQL, ArangoDB’s unified query language, accesses ALL your data with one query. It’s simple to learn and feels more like coding. No more data integration nightmares.

As your data and user base grow, ArangoDB effortlessly scales horizontally to accommodate. While competing solutions can only scale vertically (or horizontally with heavy manual intervention), ArangoDB easily scales without any hands-on work by operators. Data is automatically and intelligently distributed across nodes in a lights-out fashion. No unnecessary downtime to manually distribute data. Higher performance from fewer network hops.

The result? Far lower TCO, increased operational efficiency, and more satisfied users and customers.

"A fast, flexible, multi-mode database"

5/5

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

Having the option for combined graph and document store was just what we needed. We were replacing a Mysql implementation of our product. Replacing the iterative collection of data with a graph traversal improved performance 1000x. The document store added considerable flexibility for our customers. Foxx added an additional performance boost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Debugging a Foxx application is painful. There are no debuggers so you start relying on console output. Foxx also doesn't have a way to bind native code or to launch external programs like node.js. This means that we couldn't implement the full business logic in Foxx. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ArangoDB:

If you have an application that can benefit from a graph database I highly recommend it. If you need a combined graph/document store then you must take a look at this. I would recomment that you take the time to learn AQL when evaluating it. Once you get comfortable with it, you'll see how powerful it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArangoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a product that we've been marketing for ~15 years. Because of the fixed schema it was difficult to implement new features in a backwards compatible fashion. With the flexibility of ArangoDB, we were not only able to dramatically improve performance, but we were no longer constrained to a fixed schema. This helps future-proof the product. It also allows us to have a well-defined API for customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great graph database"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

I tried different graph databases and ArangoDB provides an interesting interface with a good speed. It was lacking of a Ruby driver, but thanks of their amazing documentation it was really easy to create a basic one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

The creation of a cluster with ArangoDB without using Mesos or DC/OS didn't seem of easy implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ArangoDB:

I like the graph quality of ArangoDB and I enjoy to create the Ruby gem ArangoRB by using their HTTP API. AQL is a powerful language, easy to learn and with good examples. ArangoDB is a poweful tool that have the potentiality to continue to grow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArangoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

ArangoDB provides a good speed and an interesting way to manage the database with the power of graph theory. To make connection by a schema provides an easy solution to a hard storage problem as the connection between the objects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ArangoDB the multi-model Database"

4.5/5

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

Different data models in the same database: Graph DB, Document Store and Key-Value Store with a single language for queries. With Foxx you can create HTTP microservices running inside the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Nothing for now. Maybe need more community activities in different countries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"OpenSource Graph Database for the Masses"

5/5

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

ArangoDB is a very transparent and open-source friendly application with tons of great features and a friendly community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Though the community is friendly and the documentation that exists is good, both are severely lacking. Focus on availability of advanced documentation (specifically around AQL) and community involvement would drastically improve the use-case of beginners and advanced developers using AraingoDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ArangoDB:

It may take a little more effort to get going with ArangoDB in the short-run and grasp the benefits of a graph database, but it's definitely worth the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArangoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using ArangoDB for our entire back-end database at https://www.zooxoos.com/

Using Scarango (https://github.com/outr/scarango) driver we've been able to retain great type-safety without sacrificing the flexibility offered in a document database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best database solution nowadays!"

5/5

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

FLEXIBLE

Combination of document-, key-value- and graph database, truly genius!

FAST

With Foxx Services, I can make complex queries directly on the database, no bottle-neck like conventional backend and database communication.

BEAUTIFUL

I never saw a beautifully and also function Admin Interface for ANY database I used before.

Use it :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArangoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We built a multilevel marketing system, for this solution we needed graphs.

Right now we are developing a food guide app which uses a lot of food and food data. For better data usage we want to use semantic linking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to learn and use, light on system, helpful people"

5/5

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

These guys really do add nice things here that you didn't know you needed. They make good choices. They don't try to do everything. (although multi-model gives you a lot along with FOXX) A very friendly license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Mostly I wish there were more language bindings and traction in the community. More and bigger examples and some books would make me happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ArangoDB:

When you want a friendly license, built in admin & access controls, performance (not built on Java) and well thought out features that work. Look to ArangoDB. This will get you up and running fast, and it will leave you with lots of options to keep working. This is not a one-trick-pony, but a very very capable tool. Just working with it as a JSON document database and using one of the several excellent Python language bindings, then figuring out queries as I go, it is just great to work with. AQL makes more sense when you realize it's all about the JSON and it works out really well with Python (and of course very natively in JavaScript apps). If you are doing work in JavaScript, this is a fabulous tool to turn to. I am really looking forward to the benefits this will bring long term. I am curious how well I can get things integrated to other tools like Elastic Search.

There are so many friendly tools built in. They are very discoverable and continue to be useful even after you have learned a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArangoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using this to manage data in QA Automation workflows. It is so capable and flexible and easy to bring up and start using. This has allowed me to store data outside our Jenkins CI and outside of our Git repository for both temporary and long term use. The flexible structure is of course super in letting me adjust things quickly to what I need to keep my QA Automations working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and very flexible multi-model database"

5/5

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

Ability to combine graph model and document store gives us the flexibility we need to run our core processes and improve it very efficiently Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Foxx application are very useful but the lack of integration with external applications (like an Event Queue System) leads us to separate a single core model application into 2 or 3 applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArangoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

eLamp provides a way for companies to build a very flexible skill mapping of the company. HR managers create and maintain Skill mapping, include their KPI on each skill, in a way that project managers and collaborators can use it to build the perfect team for a project or find an expert.

We had to have a very flexible and fast data model with realtime analysis so Graph Data Model was our requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful, fast, and keeps getting better"

5/5

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

For starters, you can be up and running in minutes. While there are many advanced configuration options, getting a basic installation at a usable level it trivial. Being able to move back and forth between document and graph databases is a huge plus. It is VERY fast and the AQL language is incredibly powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

There are places where the documentation is somewhat lacking. It is improving to be sure, but there is still opportunity for improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ArangoDB:

Take the time to read *all* of the documentation as well as the community driven Cookbook. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArangoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

As the back-end for a cryptographic key and certificate management system, it is management of incredibly complex and multi-faceted data--and mapping relationships within that data--a quantifiable, repeatable task. AQL queries alone have saved countless hours of effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best approach available for a Multimodel DB!"

5/5

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

As the creator of nosql-database.org, I tested about 80 NoSQL Databases. ArangoDB is by far the best DB for the multimodel world. Awesome graph features, scalable, and ready for the microservice world. Top recommendation! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

As ArangoDB has nearly all features available I do have no dislike but simply some missing features: a book (although the doc is great), native C, C++ (fast) code integration and native bitemporal features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ArangoDB:

Use the Docker image and you can test in seconds!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ArangoDB solving and how is that benefiting you?

We do have datasets which are K/V, and JSON. Then we need to dig out graph connections, integrate them and query them. Perfect for ArangoDB, as you only need to admin one DB! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
