Arango Reviews & Product Details

ArangoDb is an extremely versatile and well-featured database. Being truly multi-model, it can serve any purpose most developers would require, along with full-text and geospatial queries.

Whilst our use of ArangoDb has barely touched the surface, we know that the power it can bring is always right there for when we need it.

The AQL language is pretty clear, though it can take a little while to fully bake-in how to update or shape results as you need, and the various ways you can filter the data, often means you need to come back and re-factor queries as the data grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's Cloud service pricing. Because ArangoDb fits within its own ecospace, the only managed service I know at the time of writing is their own, ArangoDb Oasis, and with a recent price hike, it's untenable for a majority of startups wanting to use ArangoDb but not worry about maintaining the system and not have to learn how to sys-admin the Db themselves on self-hosted instances.

I truly feel they should offer a much simpler variation and at a rate similar to AWS RDS's managed services which has basic managed requirements like automated backups, log rotation, and fault tolerance to downtime, without the need for the multi-sharding infrastructure.

It was simple to setup and was easy to understand. Now whenever we got some issue, the customer support was always their to tackle the issue. Now after the setup of arrango the frequent use of it between developer has increase and because of the its wide range of features we could integrate it easily.

The query language is simple and makes sense

the graph presentation is nice

Using the SDK is fine Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The editor is not good

the shortcuts are lame

no auto complete

creating application apis with specific permission is bad, slow Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Nothing at this point. Probably not yet being compatible with Gremlin? 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 fact that ArangoDB is open access and can interact with other tools Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The graphical aspect in not really taken in account Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The whole team has said over and over how intuitive the Arango query language is. The threshold for learning 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 perfectly, as our data has lots of connections 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 the 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.
