Complex AQL is way easier to reason when compared to Complex SQL
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about ArangoDB, by far, is its query language. It is incredibly easy to onboard new engineers, especially those without a background in backend development or databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
If using only to be a transaction database for a simple CRUD app, you can find better pricing with other databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Arango is our main transactional database. At first we were really looking into the graph capabilities, but we fell in love with its query language (AQL)
Excellent
What do you like best about the product?
Best thing is installing process is very easy and friendly, as provide very good docs..
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, but try to provide quick suppoort
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The best thing is graph, giving nice ui for relation between the collections
Easy to setup and integrate
What do you like best about the product?
Instructions to setup ArangoDB Community (using docker) are clear. Integration with existing project is smooth
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up ArangoDB to perform semantic search on a specific node property looks complicated. One needs to define a metric function (e.g., cosine similarity). Would be nice to have a wrapper that does this
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Storing state machine as a Graph
Great graph database and awesome alternative for SQL
What do you like best about the product?
I really really enjoy AQL way to perform queries. It's as straightfoward as a JS script, very easy for devs to ramp up, easier to perform joins and complex operations!
What do you dislike about the product?
It could be somehow more intuitive to perform views/materialized views.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly all of our transactional operations are held using ArangoDB
a perfect match for our modelling use case, complete db solution with unique properties
What do you like best about the product?
Unique and invaluable multi-model database where everything is accessed using one simple query language.
No more syncing with relational dbs when you need those capabilities.
Very friendly GUI with easy install and upgrade procedures that can be very simple to maintain. The GUI allows data exploration and analysis as well as query debugging in-place.
Very humble resource footprint, it is a 300MB C++ "rocket".
Excellent performance with many ways to improve and control it.
The Arango Team are all good people and are nice to meet and work with, they all are "clued in" and you do not get that offshore support feeling.

What do you dislike about the product?
Clustering stability, management and performance (scaling) may need some work.
Database-side triggers were promised for years but not there.
Locking mechanics may be further improved (and I see they are).
Some recent GUI changes are not always for the better.
Enterprise Support could be more responsive to medium and low priority cases (should take [much] less than a year, SLA need more enforcement)

This is "The Tool" that allowed us to finally solve the Problem that Telco Industry could not solve for the 40 years of computer use -
Creating and Maintaining a Dynamic, Programmatically Accessible Model of the whole Network Topology and State as one Unified Landscape, without Boundaries and Visibility Limits,
open for traversal and analysis by all an any internal teams, for use cases of failure analysis, resource state detection, service integrinty (what-if) and change management in the Network Assurance usage patterns.

ArangoDB is flexible but still not so fast on complex tasks.
What do you like best about the product?
- Very flexible schema
- Support types of joining
- Integrated web UI is useful
- ArangoSearch View is easy to use and helpful in retrieving data from multiple collections, including exact and fuzzy searching

What do you dislike about the product?
- Low performance on complex aggregations even when indexing is applied, especially on the big edge collections
- Documents do not describe how the index works clearly
- Graph traversal is not fast enough at times when filtering on edges. I needed to use 2 for loops (traverse 2 times) instead of multi-level traversing for better performance.

ArangoDB helped us to organize data pretty efficiently by providing multiple data models (especially the graph model) and an integrated search engine.
Cyber Threats data looks intuitive when being stored in ArangoDB

nothing specifc at the moment, the platform is working graet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
it provides the best graph database in the market, as of today
ArangoDB offers a powerful and user-friendly experience, supported by a evolving community.
What do you like best about the product?
What I appreciate most about ArangoDB is its versatility and performance as a graph database, making it an excellent fit for our product's needs. The managed hosting solution offered through ArangoGraph significantly simplifies operations, providing an easy-to-use and reliable service that ensures our applications run smoothly without extensive database management requirements. Additionally, the responsive and helpful customer support team enhances the overall experience, ensuring any issues or questions are promptly addressed.
What do you dislike about the product?
ArangoDB impresses with its robust performance and managed hosting convenience. However, navigating its advanced features could be smoother with more extensive documentation. While its community is smaller compared to some other databases, growing this supportive network could enrich user resources and collaboration opportunities, enhancing the overall ArangoDB experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ArangoDB serves as the backbone of our packaging data management, enabling us to efficiently evaluate recyclability and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fee costs of packaging in accordance with country-specific regulations. By leveraging ArangoDB's robust graph database capabilities, we can intricately map and analyze the complex relationships between various packaging materials, regulations, and fees. This not only streamlines our data processing but also enhances the accuracy and speed at which we can provide actionable insights to our clients.
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
