Arango Reviews & Product Details

Arango DB offers a great deal of flexibility. Its query language is straightforward and easy to grasp, making it accessible even for those new to the system. The performance remains strong, even when handling complex relationships, which adds to its appeal. Overall, I find it to be a very versatile database solution.

Nothing to dislike about arango DB you cannot dislike it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unique and multiple model database where everything is accessed using just one query. User interface is pretty good and it makes it very easy to navigate and analyze also debugging if any issues. AQL is so quick to learn and leads Arango to be a convenient platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support team needs to be a little more proactive. They are doing a great job but prompt replies are missing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It lets you work with documents, graphs, and key-value pairs in one engine, without needing separate databases or complex integrations. This flexibility simplifies architecture and boosts performance for applications that require mixed data models. The built-in query language, AQL, is also powerful and intuitive, making complex queries feel clean and readable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We recently transitioned from a self-hosted version of ArangoDB to ArangoDB Graph (their managed offering), and the experience has been smooth and efficient. The ArangoDB team was helpful throughout the migration process, providing clear guidance and timely support to address our questions and ensure a successful transition.

ArangoDB itself provides a database that supports all the basics you'd expect from a graph database system, and a lot of convenient functionality like a unified query language that can handle both graph and relational-style queries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Because of the unified query language, there is a degree of lock-in, but this is true of all database systems if you take advantage of anything other than the most basic features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The mixture of document, search and graph has made our decisions easier. We can limit our stack to use Arango and not have an explosion of vendor systems for each purpose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes you require to load subgraphs inmemory to do intense computations as AQL can be a bit strange to work with. Maintaining your own can take additional resouces but using arango cloud ensures the experts take care of it for you. There are not enough connectors to BI tools and ETL tools so you need to write them yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Arango DB was suggested to me by my senior as it's open source and provides a great platform for graph databases. It was very user-friendly for a graph database; it was very easy to create vertices for the graph, visualize them in my local container, and thereafter make edge definitions and connect them, saving me so much time for the initial POC with graph RAG.

Documentation for the DB can be better with a section of the website dedicated solely to detailed documentation. I found myself going from website to website finding the things I needed for my use case. Other than that, it was really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unique and invaluable multi-model database where everything is accessed using one simple query language. No more syncing with relational dbs when you need those capabilities. Very friendly GUI with easy install and upgrade procedures that can be very simple to maintain. The GUI allows data exploration and analysis as well as query debugging in-place. Very humble resource footprint, it is a 300MB C++ "rocket". Excellent performance with many ways to improve and control it. The Arango Team are all good people and are nice to meet and work with, they all are "clued in" and you do not get that offshore support feeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Clustering stability, management and performance (scaling) may need some work. Database-side triggers were promised for years but not there. Locking mechanics may be further improved (and I see they are). Some recent GUI changes are not always for the better. Enterprise Support could be more responsive to medium and low priority cases (should take [much] less than a year, SLA need more enforcement). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about ArangoDB, by far, is its query language. It is incredibly easy to onboard new engineers, especially those without a background in backend development or databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If using only to be a transaction database for a simple CRUD app, you can find better pricing with other databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its simple query language (AQL) compared to complex cypher queries of other databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

nothing as such but expanding community support and resources, such as tutorials and forums, would help users troubleshoot issues more effectively Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
