ArangoDB Reviews & Product Details - Page 8

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

This db is a power house of all no sql possibilities. With an active forum and slack channels, the support provided (even for community users) is great. We had used Neo4j before but it limits a lot of things for its enterprise edition and hence we moved on to Arango and we are indeed happy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

The docs are incomplete at a few places. Initially it was a bit difficult to find answers, but the Slack groups were super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

1) Amazing feature-rich query language (AQL), subjectively much easier to use if compared to GraphQL

2) Pregel engine with major graph traversal algorithms available out-of-the-box - we were able to remove large piece of homebrew code with it

3) Nice performance at scale, both write and read

4) Inverted Index available in ArangeSearch - lighting fast!

5) Comprehensive admin UI Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

1) Slow built-in graph visualization, it makes difficult to explore graphs from admin UI.

2) Need to re-write code when switching from single node to cluster node.

3) Slow analytical queries, e.g. aggregations for entire collection. However it's not the primary case for multi-model databases at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

The multi-model Document/Graph paradigm is a big draw, and good search performance & a very intuitive query language makes the database genuinely enjoyable to use. Documentation is good, and development/support pace is fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Some search error messages can feel opaque, although errors should be rare. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

I am currently using ArangoDB on my Python project, via python-arango. I am loving the way you can easily use AQL queries on your DB transactions, as well as managing your database and collections. You can also setup a highly available database or a main-failover setup, which can make your backend implementation better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

I don't think I have a dislike on any ArangoDB features, since all or most of my usage are fluently fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

So many software companies have a “good produce” but have huge gaps somewhere - poor support, steep learning curve, extraordinarily high pricing, ridiculous development base (“Jython”, I’m looking at you!), etc.

ArangoDB is the first product I have used (in 20 years!) that is complete. It is developer-friendly, user-friendly, has amazingly good support, is extremely performant, plays nice in cloud-native land, has built-in clustering, and (last, but NOT least) IT WORKS!

I am continually amazed at how often I am PLEASENTLY surprised by features, performance, or the company. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Honestly, there isn’t much to NOT like. The only complaint I’ve had so far is that I had to change my query style to be able to fully utilize clustering. This meant learning, but it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

The semi-structured and very extensible document model, combined to most of the assets of a hard RDBMS : indexes, joins… plus a few interesting capacities : fulltext indexation, cluster mode. Also, the very active and helpful developers team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Sometimes it feels like some features are still lacking or don't give their full potential yet, but the product is constantly evolving and new features appear every month. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

Very flexible that does not force the user to focus only on a single data model.

key/values, documents or graphs in the same database and possibility of using everything simultaneously!

It is very noticeable that its creators have a deep knowledge of different types of databases.

It is very easy to understand the concepts of this database. The query language is very powerful and easy to understand. Extensive documentation that helps you practice and use ArangoDB in the coming hours!

Our projects (accouting, web applications, budgets) are very complex and we need a multi-model approach. In other databases we do not have this opportunity.

This database has a good technical support. ArangoDB regularly organizes webinars and training. The product is well maintained and the company is able to create several upgrades (version) in one year!

ArangoDB is fully ready for the production environment.

It is very nice that the company gives you all the time you need to test this database.

We have never felt pressured by the evaluation period that in the case of ArangoDB is unlimited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

I have nothing to dislike!

At this time, this database covers all our production project needs.

Honestly and responsibly I would say that this database deserves one of the best positions in the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

The AQL query language is very easy to use, and powerful at the same time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Because it's still very new and not yet super popular, there is a severe lack of tools and the community is still very small. But that is very likely to improve over time, as the product itself is truly fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

Ease of use, nice admin ui where you can test queries (and explain them) and play with arango, many driver options. Overall a good developer experience. It is under active development and there is a github/slack where the arango team responds to issues. AQL is simple and parallels SQL nicely while offering some of its own special things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Some small bugs and quirks. Have upgraded a few times to get bugfixes. I dislike that there are enterprise only features. (I guess you gotta make money somehow.) I also found that under heavy load I experienced seemingly random errors and that my applications could overload the database, locking it up. The java driver didnt have all the features I wanted, namely a connection health check. One pesky frustration is that when you google stuff from the documentation, the top result is often not the current version of the documentation, and then switching versions on the page brings you to the documentation home page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ArangoDB?

The database allows you to the ability to literally serve any of your use-case and replace any of your current databases. It can act like a schema-less document store or as a graph database, that too without giving up on RDBMS features like Joins.

The query language AQL is especially very powerful.

Besides, the community is great and helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ArangoDB?

Not anything specific actually, it is actually great.

The performance of RocksDB storage engine is comparatively lower than the standard mmfiles; But that TBH is not a reasonable thing to expect and would be like comparing apples to oranges because that performance is gained at the cost of resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
