ease of use for db admin
What do you like best about the product?
intuitive setup and database management.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is focused on graphs so if you want something else then it's not for you.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
asset tracking for a major railroad is a feat and neo4j helps accomplish this with ease
Deans Slanderous Review
What do you like best about the product?
The active responses from developers on the support forums are very helpful. Community engagement is critical. The docmentation and support guides are very useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The docmentation and support guides are very useful but do not go very in depth about the more sophisticated uses of the CYPHER query language forcing you to resort to support forums.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Neo4j to track assets throughout our railroads, providing a flexible real time feed of DB that is not constrained by normal relational database boxes.
Neo4J Review
What do you like best about the product?
Very fast lookup with multi-level nested queries, especially against relational databases and especially no-sql. The developer ecosystem is robust, and the community is helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The helm charts are not in the kubernetes standard. The defaults in said helm charts are not sane. Operational guidance as to installation on kubernetes is lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps with the data-type sprawl and aggregation, with a non-schema approach, many data entities can be aggregated in an efficient way to make data easy to understand for all.
Really great experience as a developer and user
What do you like best about the product?
neo4j provides us implement a graph database to store and process data in a fast and efficient way. As a developer neo4j provides all the capabilities to ease into the graph and cypher universe, with a great training program and even better community.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can not really say that there are things that I dislike about neo4j, mainly the enterprise grade loading capabilities area not that clear and obvious but that might be a individual issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
neo4j provides us a platform to build out a knowledge graph of all the data in the company and use this to provide additional value to our customers via custom APIs.
HPE - Neo4j experience
What do you like best about the product?
Ahead of all graph databases in many aspects:
spark connector, advanced cypher, graphql library
Scalable, performant, reliable

What do you dislike about the product?
costlier as compared to other graph databases

ingesting data through spark
Using neo4j in academic and commercial settings
What do you like best about the product?
I have tended to work with ontology data over the years. This data does not lend itself to RDBMS. Neo4j provides an excellent resource for storing the data, querying, and building applications on top of ontology data. I have used the community edition while working in academia with much success. There is just enough information on the web to get something up and running without direct sales support. I have moved to a commercial setting recently. We are exploring how to use neo4j to add an important element to our query engine.
What do you dislike about the product?
There seems to be a lot of pain involved in upgrading the neo4j system between versions (ex: 4.1->4.2->4.3). The upgrade path is brittle and very error prone. Simplifying this process is very important. I do not think the upgrade path should necessarily allow users to "skip" versions as part of the upgrade, but I think some of the steps could be automated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I want to build a graph of biological relationships (ex: genes, proteins, etc.) on top of flat file data from our clients. The goal is to augment their biological data with publicly available data to provide comprehensive insights into their data.
Great database, but there are still some issues
What do you like best about the product?
Neo4j has an opensoruce version. Support is good and the community around this database is pretty big. Cypher QL is easy to learn and use. Neo4j browser is user-friendly and has a lot of setting for both new and experienced customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are still some annoying bugs, like queries that can't be terminated by the kill command, in one of the recent versions I couldn't have more than 1 tabs open at the same time, etc.....
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm using Neo4j at work to store information about product catalog items and their relationships. We've got millions of nodes and hundreds of millions of relationships in our catalog, and Neo4j has proven its ability to easily handle it.
Best-In-Class Graph Database With a Gentle Learning Curve
What do you like best about the product?
I have been working with Neo4j professionally since 2020, primarily for the construction of knowledge graphs for regulatory reporting. Lots of things to like about the platform:
* Plenty of quickstart tools - particularly the Bloom browser, the desktop client, and Python tutorials make it easy to pick up as your first graph DB. It's a very accessible tool.
* Rich connector ecosystem for APIs, data sources, and data science capabilities.
* Speed of execution (vs. solving the same problem in a relational database).

What do you dislike about the product?
Not many negatives here. The managed offering (Aura) could be a bit more backward-compatible - as it stands, it is VERY forward-looking and as a result, it does not support older Neo4j versions (==3.x) or the bolt:// protocol. It would be good to see Neo4j 3.x on Aura, as this is the version that a popular OSS data catalog tool (Amundsen) requires.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Knowledge graphs - specifically, uncovering relationships between regulatory requirements/questions that are being asked by Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) regulatory bodies.
Ideally suited to solve previously hard problems
What do you like best about the product?
PRoblems that previously required using a graph library and had to be executed in memory are now much easier for us to solve in our Java application. These are in the domain areas of risk analysis and compliance.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some essential features missing from community edition. Aura DB free has a low memory ceiling of 250MB that makes it necessary to upgrade even for basic data loading fairly soon. While I understand that you need to incentivize people to upgrade to Enterprise and/or paid Aura tiers, these are limiting community adoption IMHO.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Information security risk analysis: inheritance of potential impact levels and probability and risk calculation in a dependency graph of components. Mappings between different cybersecurity standards for compliance reports. Also saving audit trails in a temporal graph that allows what-if analysis and rollback to previous versions of relevant entities the transactional database.
The best graph data database out there!
What do you like best about the product?
This is a feature-rich tool with intuition and very easy to use UI, support for REST API, Easy Query execution, Great Visualization Capabilites and by far the best is the Community Support for the free version
What do you dislike about the product?
Library Support for only Java, issues with other language libraries in documentation, Doesn't support Open Source APIs like Blueprint, work needs to be done on its Visualization Capabilities
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Neo4j is best employed for the storage of data which is very feasible to model as graphs viz think nodes, edges, etc. It enables the creation of objects with multiple characteristics and traits. It offers a suitable processing speed that allows running an entire web application by searching and mapping to the graph itself.
This is the best tool for data that can be mapped to a graph. We employed this framework for the cloud solution at our firm, which helps companies digitally transform their supply chains,

Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is well suited for anyone handling interconnected and complex data.
