Amazing product
What do you like best about the product?
The AQL query language is very easy to use, and powerful at the same time
What do you dislike about the product?
Because it's still very new and not yet super popular, there is a severe lack of tools and the community is still very small. But that is very likely to improve over time, as the product itself is truly fantastic.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Complex Graph queries in an ERP being developed for the Brazilian market
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Assess the complexity and characteristics of your domain before choosing your datastore.
Every domain has a datastore that best matches its needs, and ArangoDB stands on a very strong position in that front, because it's a multi model database, meaning no matter what your domain looks like, ArangoDB is likely ready to support it well.
There is no one size fits all solution though; you have to carefully analyse your domain before making a decision -- people tend to jump into the trendy product, just to find out it was not designed to solve the problem they have.

ArangoDB: multi-model database
What do you like best about the product?
ArangoDB is a multi-database model that allows you to take full advantage of the flexibility of NoSQL and does so with very good performance. The AQL language is very easy to understand and use. It's really quite friendly with anyone who is already familiar with SQL. ArangoDB also provides good facilities such as the Web UI and CLI tools for database administration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing until now. The database fits well to my current needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mainly for studies and academic use. A few months ago I used ArangoDB to store data on nutritional information from foods extracted from API's of Brazil and US.

Try and enjoy it !
Very performant free graph DB
What do you like best about the product?
Very professional graph DB designed from the ground up for multi model support, scaling (e.g., clustering and sharding built in), free open source and enterprise model but even free version has great community and official support.
Very good driver support, Java driver has become really advanced now with async support and direct access to VelicyPack serialization format.

What do you dislike about the product?
Proprietary query language AQL, no support for Apache Tinkerbob
Web UI still only has quite basic navigation, visualisation and query assistance (intelligent auto completion)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using it for our generic sequencing platform, from user and UI level simple configuration storage to storing massive amounts of variant and sample data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Didn't check out 3.3 yet, Linux support is great. Watch out for resource usage, now with new RocksDB storage engine much easier on the system resources.
Worth testing
What do you like best about the product?
Graph analysis is very easy, the database helps a lot in connecting different entities rather than bringing them to Spark then try to find those connections, which gives a lot of flexibility and speed boost.
What do you dislike about the product?
No ANSI SQL support, I was hopping for SQL support, that was a disappointing thing to learn a new language. We use CQL at the moment, Spark SQL, and SQL on MySQL, now we have to adapt to AQL which is an unnecessary overhead in my opinion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Graph analysis, rather than Spark + Cassandra, yet still experimenting.
ArangoDB the multi-model Database
What do you like best about the product?
Different data models in the same database: Graph DB, Document Store and Key-Value Store with a single language for queries. With Foxx you can create HTTP microservices running inside the database.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing for now. Maybe need more community activities in different countries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To serve JSON documents and key-value objects in a single database core with a great performance and single language to manage them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Try it!!!
An easy way to do complex things
What do you like best about the product?
Document and Graph database at the same time;
It's easy to query the database with AQL;

What do you dislike about the product?
Not a big issue, but I think database should keep the connection open like other databases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We create an Open Source application called Globomap with an ability to map all our infrastructure and cloud resources, and correlate with each other. So, we can find any resource, no matter the starting point.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you coming from another document database, just give it a try. The learning curve is minimal compared to other graph databases.
AQL will help you with complex queries.

A single database for all my use-cases
What do you like best about the product?
The database allows you to the ability to literally serve any of your use-case and replace any of your current databases. It can act like a schema-less document store or as a graph database, that too without giving up on RDBMS features like Joins.
The query language AQL is especially very powerful.
Besides, the community is great and helpful!

What do you dislike about the product?
Not anything specific actually, it is actually great.
The performance of RocksDB storage engine is comparatively lower than the standard mmfiles; But that TBH is not a reasonable thing to expect and would be like comparing apples to oranges because that performance is gained at the cost of resources.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were able to retrieve data quickly, give a search feature and show graphs in our applications - efficiently all using a single database i.e. ArangoDB!
Also, my benchmarking against Neo4j showed results very much in favour of ArangoDB (hence our application served much faster).

Graphing and much more
What do you like best about the product?
Everything built in (clustering, graphs, web services)
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no ArangoDB as a service in the cloud
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Information management and visualization
ArangoDB enabled our business to grow
What do you like best about the product?
Everything. All just work!
Graph DB
Document Store
Key-Value Store
HTTP Rest Endpoints (and GraphQL)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Graph, Document, Key Value and HTTP REST/GraphQL. In ONE Package?
Surely they can't all be good?
Performance? Yup. Removed Redis
Storage: Replaced Postgres
Graph: No real competitor (Neo4j runs on a JVM and uses Cypher which is a b s t r a c t)
Pregel Algorithms on Graph. Again, not easy to find a useful
REST Endpoints for data Access and CRUD actions. Foxx. and super fast!
And tying it all together is AQL. A wonderous, modern language that enables really impressive complicated queries and processes to be pushed to the backend. People say its good if you come from a SQL background. I hate SQL but I love programming and it really fits with that concept to me.
All of the above have enabled me to trust and rely on ArangoDB as THE technology to power a complex platform.

Do it. Learn it. Embrace it.
Never regretted our choice
What do you like best about the product?
AQL is rather easy to pick up and feels rather natural. The web interface is perfectly fine. The documentation is comprehensive and the community is absolutely friendly and helpful. It is backed up by a motivated company and the contact to the people over there has always been a pleasure.
The multi-model approach is great and enables us to fulfill the whole of our project needs with just one DB product.
The integration of Foxx Microservices directly into the DB is a nice topping. The balance between open source and enterprise features is at a sweet spot.

What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly? There is nothing I dislike at this point.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Performance! Even in comparison to other fast NoSQL DBs, Arango performs really nice while letting you do some query magic I would never want to miss again and feeling rock solid. We have it in production for somewhere around two years and never had any problems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Just give it a go. We fell in love.
