Best thing about OrientDB that I liked that it is a multipurpose NoSQL database. Second thing that I liked is that it is made in Java programming language. Being a pro fan of Java I find it exciting to use OrientDB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are few drawbacks in OrientDB. First one that I shoud mention is the performance as compared to other rival NoSQL database solutions. I think guys at OrientDB is constantly working on that. Second thing is the community. Size of the OrientDB community is small and I find it hard to find some solutions online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having a graph db with ability to use SQL. The db has some good features, can improve even more with time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some bugs, but they are getting fixed constantly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

well, the coloured balls are very pretty, but I think that the enterprise support is even better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked the in memory feature which i waslooking for. Other than that i was happy with the way i could easily save persist the data into disk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What i did not like was it had heavy load on memory. For that i needed to split files and open db file by closing currently opened. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The SQL like queries to interact with Graphs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The dashboard could use some work. There felt like there were some bugs in the dashboard javascript. Id much prefer an installable application such as SSMS then rely on the web browser dashboard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was my first contact with a database that implements a graph model Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation at that time was not quite sufficient, I needed to dig into code to find sometimes / clear things up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
