Not the most flexible pricing model. Could benefit from having encryption as a baseline (not enterprise) feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Mapping our RDF data to ArangoDB is excellent & many workarounds are provided for business use cases"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

ArangeDB provisions DBaaS for our organizational requirements as it acts as the scalable backbone for various graph analytics & complex data structures. It helps determine the connections between multiple database objects within a short duration. This effectively saves from using expensive JOIN operations at query time since the object connections are stored on disk & in memory. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arango?

None actually. We can harmonize data from various data stores into the specific semantic model for enhanced visibility and identification of connections. It is useful as we work with plenty of use cases in which we need to analyze the relationship between data points. Also, we can detect network outages faster while using ArangoDB.

"Easy to use"
4/5
What do you like best about Arango?

ArangoDB provides a graphical interface which is rare among other providers, specially the visualization of graphs. Also, the pyArango library in python is quite rich. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arango?

The GUI sometimes crashes. Also, every time a graph is reloaded, the nodes' position changes, making it hard to follow. I wonder why for this visualization the random see is not fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"ArangoDb works really well in .NET 6 (WPF)"
5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

1- Easy to use, after the initial learning curve.

2- The best database I ever used. A joy to develop.

3- Really good support trough the Slack server. Every bug and question I had was fixed or answered in less than one day. There seems to be ArangoDB employees on the slack server. (or solid contributors)

4- The graph concept is extremly powerful. Every document is basically "Collection/id". For example, "Persons/1" is the first person.

5- Easy to use your own ID instead of generated ID (you simple pass the _key!)

6- Much much much more flexible than SQL.... in my case, I had to use it because my product enables user to build their own form and database. I wrote 90% less code with ArangoDB than a SQL database (SQLite, postgres). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arango?

2 simples things that can be easily fixed by the company or community :

1- C# nuget package could have better documentation.

2- As of august 2022, ArangoSearch does not have a way to search for every field in an index. However, you can append data in a field, so there's a way to do it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A Graph Database with powerful in built capabilities in"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

The fact that ArangoDB has graphs around named and anonymous graphs and with a specific graph traversal syntax. In addition, ArangoDB also has the functionality of GeoJSON Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arango?

Some of the functions are rather specific to ArangoDB and functions like COLLECT in ArangoDB is too unique that it may be a little localized in some ways. Also, with specialized functions comes a learning curve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A GraphDB that is fast, stable, and extremely feature rich!"
5/5
What do you like best about Arango?

Definitely the greatest thing about this DB is its versatility. It is a swiss army knife of data storage, and comes with a very rich AQL query language that has a low learning curve and allows for tons of possibilities to manage and query documents, key-value, and graph data! Last but not least, it supports search via ArangoSearch which is comparable to Elastic Search, and also provides a way to have a REST API or GraphQL endpoint via its Foxx services, which integrates deep into the DB. Needless to say, of course, it integrates very well with Kubernetes and even has its own operator. As for language support, they offer well-maintained libraries for all the main programming languages in use today. All of this is free and open-source! And when you become successful, you can switch to their premium offering ArangoOasis that can run in your preferred cloud for even more peace of mind. To recap, if you are looking for a good GraphDB, then look no more, because you have just found a gem! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Arango?

Honestly, nothing. I just which they advertised better the fact that GraphQL can be used fully via their Foxx microservices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
