Data Engineer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 4/7/2022 "It has so much potential, will be a winner if we use it in a right way" 5/5 What do you like best about Apache TinkerPop? Apache tinkerpop has helped me get into high level overview of graph database using gremlin language, it supports various kinds of input formats as well. It has the better and faster query execution, will get the desired results in faster manner like customer recommendations, fraud detection analysis purpose etc can be done through using Apache tinkerpop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache TinkerPop? Maybe a bit clarity on defining the Vertices, edges for the files to create a graph using the Apache Tinkerpop. It will be so much helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache TinkerPop solving and how is that benefiting you?

TinkerPop defines the property graph data model, graph traversal language, computational semantics, graph processing algorithms that can be used to design a graph database or graph processing framework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache TinkerPop? So far an inference capability is missing. This is something that SPARQL-based systems have been using to infer new information in a graph using domain-specific inference rules. This is an important capability for some use cases but it also could be very expensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache TinkerPop solving and how is that benefiting you? We build a TinkerPop-compatible graph data management system that is currently used for fraud detection, real-time recommendations, social networks, and customer 360.

Programador sénior Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 5/31/2018 "Solve problems with Graphs ?: Apache TinkerPop" 5/5 What do you like best about Apache TinkerPop? Graph theory is a branch of discrete mathematics that allows solving problems involving nodes and their relationships, such as: the shortest way to reach a place or find a needle in a haystack ... simplifying, of course. Apach TinkerPop offers a framework that allows to abstract the mathematical complexities of this type of problems to make life easier for the programmer. Making use of its benefits, the user can recreate nodes, relationships, their respective properties and search operations and complex calculations, implementing the predefined classes that come with the solution. The abstraction layer, provided, allows different tests with different APIs, before choosing the processor and the BD that best suits our requirements, facilitates the scale horizontally. The same code can be used from simple solutions to implementations of the world of Big Data with Spark or Hadoop, whose details are well documented in the available online referrals. TinkerPop is an open source project, distributed under the commercial friendly Apache2 license, with its own Gremlin Graph Traversal Machine and Language, which allows to empower the solution of complex problems of this branch of discrete mathematics TinkerPop, makes graph theory as simple as a children's game with Gremlins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Apache TinkerPop? perhaps, the implementation of a graphic environment with the functionalities to create nodes, relationships, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Apache TinkerPop: makes problem solving with graphs as easy as a children's game Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Apache TinkerPop solving and how is that benefiting you? can solve any problem where graph theory applies, this already makes it competitive in this aspect, with almost no adversary Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
