MC Michiel C. NodeJS Developer Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/21/2020 "A great experience with a long journey" 1.5/5 What do you like best about OrientDB? The GUI of orientDB is very practical and user-friendly, it is comparable to other competitors their UI and allows of easy management of indexes, relations and nodes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OrientDB? The small community, lack of professional tools and performance. Their is no easy way to manage the community version of OrientDB and the enterprise edition is a big step us in price. Great ways to resolve this would be scalable cloud offerings which allow you to test OrientDB in a managed fashion to later on decide for yourself if the step to the Enterprise edition is necessary for yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OrientDB: Take a good look at other GraphDB solutions, Neo4J is a bigger player and great reasons for this are the more complete toolset and larger amount of use case/community.

Queries are SQL and Java based Achieving complex logic's visualization of data able to index the records, vertex as well as edges Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OrientDB? Worst Studio / IDE No proper documentation, As a dump increases it's hard to get results, its misery while working through large data, RAM utilization, No best practices, if query having issues, exception will not throw specific location, Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OrientDB solving and how is that benefiting you? As we handling numerous classes / vertex and unstructured data, we can able to connect those data initially and able to see the connectivity through traversing. Its hard to manipulate and query unstructured data in Relational Database. its a good choice for business to have more options in community edition compared to other Graph databases but its hard for developer. Need to come up with work a rounds for slowness issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

First Level Software Engineer Computer Software Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 3/22/2016 "Working with pain" 1.5/5 What do you like best about OrientDB? The recommendation engine my colleagues and I coded using OrientDB is actually working in this very moment. In the end, it turned out to be a solution for us. The studio it provides is also quite useful and pretty, especially the graph part of it. And it's a relatively cheap solution after all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OrientDB? Bad documentation. New versions breaking code written with old version. The SQL-like syntax is only useful for basic queries, which a complicated project will not limit to. Using gremlin is painfully difficult. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OrientDB: If you can afford Neo4j, choose Neo4j. If you are ready to have a bit of headache and not a lot of money to spend, OrientDB will probably do the job after all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OrientDB solving and how is that benefiting you? The business problem I was solving was to create a recommendation engine on top of a graph database and make fast queries of type "start from this vertex, give me all its neighbors by this edge and their neighbors by that edge and sum the weight along the edges". And do it fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its versitility, the 'it fits whatever data you have' attitude. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OrientDB? I came to OrientDB to try to do something that Neo4J could not do. Grantedm I was trying something most in this community might find really stupid, trying to connect edges to edges, but it fitted my use case. Sadly I also couldn't get OrientDB to do it, it took me a lot of experimenting though to find out since the Docs are barebones, hard to navigate and hard to understand and the error reporting is also not that clear, if there even are error messages.
