What do you like best about the product?

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.

What do you dislike about the product?

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.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use ArangoDB to assemble and explore relationships between different entities, meaning we can spend our engineering effort delivering new features rather than thinking about graph traversal algorithms and the like.
