A review for Ultipa Graph
Senior Manager expert on Database technologies and Graph DB
I have tried several graph databases, but Ultipa stood out for its impressive performance, competitive cost, and ease of learning and querying. Whether you're new to graph databases or an experienced user, Ultipa Graph is an excellent choice for high-performance and cost-effective solutions.
The use of Ultipa without any special configuration fully satisfied the customer in terms of response time.
The customer also appreciated Ultipa Manager for its ease of use and functionality.
Very Powerful Product, Great Online Documentation & Customer Support!
As many of us are working remotely, and Ultipa support team had to remotely support us, and here is the major upside kicks in: Our initially deployment/installation of the system was done completely ONLINE, 100%, everything was done remotely including staging our own servers, prepaing the environment and installation of the Ultipa graph database. I have to admit that their system was well designed and very smooth to install and use. The remote installation took ONLY 40-minute (if this was done onsite, I suppose we could have it done in just a few clicks and 15-min?).
Note that we have used/compared with other graph databases, like the commercial Neo4j and open-sourced Janusgraph and others, and Ultipa came out to be the best choice. We'll be exploring more of Ultipa down the road, for now, the 3 best things about Ultipa are:
1. Great performance, much faster than the others.
2. Great support, Ultipa has been very responsible and reliable in support our entire team.
3. Great online documentations, if you look at their online docs... amazingly comprehensive and to-the-point, love it.

Ultipa Graph provides a tool named Ultipa Manager: this is a web application used to manage and administer the entire database. It is also a tool to execute database queries and graph algorithms. This tool offers graph visualizations such as force-directed graphs and 3D layouts. It can be configured and extended so that even business users can harness its power. Ultipa Graph provides a set of SDKs to easily implement client applications using Python, C++, Go, NodeJS, and Restful API. These SDKs also speed up the integration between Ultipa Graph and other applications/services.
I use Ultipa Graph, via Ultipa Manager daily. I like it so much. To create proof oc concepts and to analyze data I use Python and Jupyter Notebook. It is easy to implement update, analyze data and start graph analytics on the graph data.
The same dataset is very helpful
My EU friend recommended me Ultipa Cloud last month, I was a little bit skeptical because there are a few graph players out there and I've used some of them, honestly speaking most of which are not entirely satisfactory.
I was able to talk with Ultipa Cloud team (over email initially) because i wasn't sure which setup (instance configurations) are appropriate to my needs -- I have about 50 million nodes and edges (about 5M nodes and 45M edges -- yes, the data set is pretty heavily connected, considering each node has about 20 in and outbound connections), the size of my graph data set. And I had problem having the famous neo*j to process any queries that are over 4 hops or deeper in real time.
Surprising, Ultipa holds her promise to quickly process my data set, I would summarize Ultipa's advantages, in my opinion, in the following ways:
A. For path queries, if you are find connections, scope of impact, my gosh, Ultipa is tons of times faster, period. i didn't gauge the exact time, but i feel it's at least 10x faster than Neo*j....
B. For graph algorithms, it's simply fast and sound... can you imagine running Louvain, and getting results in seconds instead of hours as in other graph systems, such as Neo*j or Neptune?
C. I'm also grateful that their support team are diligent in helping me sorting out things... very responsive... that's a big plus... they are motivated and willing to help customers out, have to appreciate that, for sure.
I hope my review helpful for people who have been struggling with graph technologies like me...
Not only FAST, but also productive with their support and online documents
I've been using the DBaaS edition of Ultipa since early January, here are my feedbacks (positive for sure):
1. Steady and consistent release schedule: I can tell over each monthly release, new features (for good and for better) are being rolled out, very promising.
2. Truly fast, and much faster than other graph products (you know what I'm talking about here), I have used some popular community edition of N*J, and it wasn't satisfactory on larger datasets (over 10M for instance) or complex/deep queries (over 3+ hops). Ultipa is on average ~10x faster I would say...
3. Many many algorithms offered! at least 40 plus?
4. Documentation! Ultipa's documentation is surprisingly professional, detail oriented and helpful! You will know this when you use it, mark my word!
