"So Rich and Well Put Together"
5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

Migrating a project to ArangoDB from a document DB was intimidating at first but with all the tools it comes packing made it much easier. The query language has a pretty shallow learning curve while at the same time equipping you with so much power.

The rich web interface was the most useful for me; it allowed me to play around with data and queries before committing anything to actual implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arango?

I've had no complaints so far, but I'll be sure to raise if I have any Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"It is a new experience"
4/5

The multimodal helps us to achieve variety of solutions to all kinds of problems using the same database. The aql query is also so advanced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arango?

There are small bugs coming up, sometimes. But they are really improving the performance and functionalities as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Power packed, easy, no learning curve !"
5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

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 Arango?

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.

"Feature-rich graph database"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

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 Arango?

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.

"Powerful, Flexible, Performant Database"
5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

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 Arango?

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

"A cool (AQL) document DB"
5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

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 Arango?

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.

"Amazingly good!"
5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

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 Arango?

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.

"Excellent compromise between flexible structure and RDBMS capacities"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

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 Arango?

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.

"An excellent, complete and reliable database for easy learning and use"
5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

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 Arango?

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.
