ArangoDb - Powerful database for all
What do you like best about the product?
ArangoDb is an extremeley versatile and well featured database. Being truly mulit-model, it can serve any purpose most developers would require, along with fulltext and geospatial queries.
Whilst our use of ArangoDb has barely touched the surface, we know that the power it can bring is always right there for when we need it
The AQL language is pretty clear, though it can take a little while to fully bake-in how to update or shape results as you need, and the various ways you can filter the data, often means you need to come back and re-factor queries as the data grows.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's Cloud service pricing. Because ArangoDb fits within it's own ecospace, the only managed service I know at time of writing is their own, ArangoDb Oasis, and with a recent price hike, it's untenable for a majority of startups wanting to use ArangoDb but not worry about maintaing the system and not have to learn how to sys-admin the Db themselves on self-hosted instances.
I truly feel they should offer a much simpler variation and at a rate similar to AWS RDS's managed services which has basic managed requirements like automated backups, log rotation and fault tolerance to downtime, without the need for the multi-sharding infrastucture.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Their goal is clear, to bring about a true multi-model database, and they seemed to have achieved it. Over the years, I've experiemented with OrientDb, Neo4J, MongoDb and ofc well learned in RDMS like Postgres, and MySQL. When working with these techcnologise before Arango, I found that each project / idea I was trying to create, I kept switching Db's to fit the requirements. It wasn't until I found ArangoDb near 10 years ago, I've never looked back.
Having a graph, relational and KVP system all in one that seems to perform as well as the other systems dedicated to one aspect, is truly mind-blowing. Whilst their FOXX is a sort of interesting layer, akin to stored procedures mixed with Express gateway, opens up the power of the database even further, the power of being able to switch your data into a graph structure at any stage truly outshines the desire to use any other Db

Using ArangoDB as a primary DB for many data models for 2 years
What do you like best about the product?
- Powerful and easy to learn query language(AQL).
- K8S operator in case you need to run the database in your own cluster.
- Quick and accurate support

What do you dislike about the product?
- sometimes, silly bugs occur i.e: in sorting or propagating data to the followers
- visibility of the audit logs in the ArangoGraph platform could be improved

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arangodb offers a multi-model database, which suites many cases. It enables me to use it as the primary DB in the organization
A great fusion of document and graph database
What do you like best about the product?
ArangoDB lets you model data without duplicating a large amount of data between tables, avoids the need for large join statements due to traversal capabilities, and lets you have loose schemas by storing JSON data. It's easy to deploy and maintain via helm, and enterprise support is excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Traversals can be expensive and/or slow, and optimizing them can be difficult. There's a lot to consider when structuring the data and writing queries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ArangoDB provides us with graph database traversals, vastly simiplifying our queries, and preventing round trips to the database.
Great DB for real world data
What do you like best about the product?
In real world data scenarios, there is often a mix beteen structured data and unstractured data. The big advantage of ArangoDB is that it allows to store and query both structured and unstuctured data and their complex relations within a single system, making it a lot easier to extract insights from all types of data and also minimizing the attack surface, thus increasing security. Querying can be done with the powerful and extensible AQL query language, via driver packages for languages like TypeScript and Python, and using the powerful and quite unique Foxx microservice package, which also comes with ready to use integration examples for common BI tools.
ArangoDB is available for all major operating systems, as a container and as a mangaged service, so it can truly run everywhere, also providing scalability from a standalone single node to a enterprise cluster solution. The community version has a permissive Apache license also allowing commercial use, making it easy to try hands on whether it is the right solution. The commercially available enterprise vLersion provides some additional features like encryption at rest, and a very responsive and effective customer support.

What do you dislike about the product?
ArangoDB still lacks some granularity in access control. It is possible to grant read-write or read-only access per collcetion basis, but not on a document or attribute level.
Exposing only specific data base on the user querying like one would implement with a view in a SQL DB (let's call it "virtual collections" is currently not possible.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ArangoDB empowers our users to gain insights from complex structured and unstructured data and integrate these data with additional data processing solutions.
Using arangodb as a primary store on our product
What do you like best about the product?
Complex aql options, geospatial queries, json store
What do you dislike about the product?
Inability to pivot data, facets calculation performance is poor, only basic fulltext search, no vector store and similarity search for embeddings yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data analytics for investigation of illicit activities of people.
Feature rich Open-Source Graph Database
What do you like best about the product?
Blazing-fast multi-modal database engine, that provides out-of-the box highly-connected (graph) structure querying. Well documented, with amazing support and customer service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not the most flexible pricing model. Could benefit from having encryption as a baseline (not enterprise) feature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exploring highly-connected business entities, that require blazing fast traversal.
Best Graphing DB for rapid development
What do you like best about the product?
Graphing features and functions. Felxible AQL syntax to query documents
What do you dislike about the product?
Its bit diffcult to maintain the arango cluster during distributed deployment. Need in-depth knowledge to manage shards.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arango allows us to query over the geographically sparse data with ease of use. It also provide eloborate query language which can able to solve many use cases. It is helping us to store multi-level unstructured data and quering faster when compared to other solutions.

I would love to see better monitoring and managment capabilites in ArangoGraph Insights Platform (hosted)
The ecosystem is not as deleloped it is of major databases - Not much of thrid party tools for administration, queries and vizualisations

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are build a knowlage graph of conected resources, arangodb db allows us to use a single DB to store both resource data and their connection data in single place,
This allows us to query that kind of data very efficiently
