It is simple. Much better than Mongo. Treating edges as collection, I believe a mster stroke. Enables both graph and document DB at a time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When comparing ArangoDB to other vendors in the space (including ones with large Market Caps) Arango comes out as a better product with better features. Some of the built in features of AQL make it a superior product with other players in the space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a smaller player in the space, it is more difficult to convince upper management to go with Arango instead of other vendors (they perceive as being better than Arango) in the space. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I appreciate most about ArangoDB is its versatility and performance as a graph database, making it an excellent fit for our product's needs. The managed hosting solution offered through ArangoGraph significantly simplifies operations, providing an easy-to-use and reliable service that ensures our applications run smoothly without extensive database management requirements. Additionally, the responsive and helpful customer support team enhances the overall experience, ensuring any issues or questions are promptly addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
ArangoDB impresses with its robust performance and managed hosting convenience. However, navigating its advanced features could be smoother with more extensive documentation. While its community is smaller compared to some other databases, growing this supportive network could enrich user resources and collaboration opportunities, enhancing the overall ArangoDB experience.

The whole team has said over and over how intuitive the Arango query language is. The threshold for learing it was extremely low and we even have frontend developers writing queries the few times they need something special, instead of coming to the backend developers asking for help to retrieve data from our SQL database.
The combination of a document and graph database suits us perfecetly, as our data has lots of connection to each other and in several levels and at the same time we need to be able to aggregate data over periods of time.
We are currently in the process of migrating all data from an SQL database to ArangoDB with the goal of completely getting rid of the SQL database and those cumbersome SQL queries.
Customer support has been quick to respond the few tickets we have had, even though the tickets have been marked with lowest priority by us when submitting the ticket. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was a bit of a learning curve on how data is sharded over the nodes in the cluster, which is essential to know in order to get good performance when executing queries.
While it's seldom you want to change name of a collection, that is however possible when working with a single standalone server, but it's not possible in a cluster setup.
It's not possible to set preferred service hours for maintenance (upgrades) for the clusters in their cloud service, so unless we're initiating upgrades manually they can start during our primetime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Instructions to setup ArangoDB Community (using docker) are clear. Integration with existing project is smooth Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Setting up ArangoDB to perform semantic search on a specific node property looks complicated. One needs to define a metric function (e.g., cosine similarity). Would be nice to have a wrapper that does this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its comprehensible. The tutorials are really great, we can fastly have access to the power of graph databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
For the moment, as it is my begining, I do not have any "dislikes" on the subject. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From a DBA perspective, ArangoDB is easy to install, update and manage. We are using the ArangoDB enterprise edition on Linux RedHat. For install and update we are using the rpm pakages.
The user friendly Customer Support responds quickly and helpfully. Hot-Backups uses hardlinks and can be done very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
