The database is easy to install and integrate with existing architectures since it supports both JDBC, a SQL-like query language, and strong tools that run in the web browser and provide visual indicators of how the database is performing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about OrientDB? Documentation tends to be updated slower than one would expect and there isn't enough emphasis on securing the installation in the documentation. Much of the documentation assumes that you're installing in a standalone mode and not in its clustered modes (which work very well). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering OrientDB: You need to perform a proof of concept with orientdb from the perspective of a graph database and not try to turn it into a relational database with graph features. If you do that, you will not find that it meets your criteria. Since many relationships are well represented with graphs and easily traversed with graph queries - you will need to make sure that you go into the project with the right mindset or you will find that you are carrying RDBMS baggage into the graphical world. You may find that traditional DBAs have a hard time adopting the solution since it is very different from what they are accustomed to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is OrientDB solving and how is that benefiting you? A lot of our data requirements are based upon graphical relationships and they need to be traversed in a reasonable amount of time. Arithmetically there are some other databases that have better performance, but not all of them are as well supported or offer the tool chain that Orient provides.

I came to OrientDB to try to do something that Neo4J could not do.

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.
