I was getting data from Hacker News to store it on Neo4j. I was running a cron job using Neo4j to scrape topics and comments from Hacker News every two hours. I ran that for at least a year and a half, but stopped recently. I wanted to see how stable and useful it was.

First, I liked that it was free. I also liked that you can run multiple languages with it. I can connect it to a Spring Boot app, a Python app, or a Go app. If I'm doing network correlation, graph or node analysis, I can easily connect my Google Colab to my Neo4j AuraDB account. Those are the things I like about it.

I like the idea of graphs and nodes and the possibilities Neo4j AuraDB offers.

I've experienced it crashing a few times, so stability could be better.

For things to improve, I think the GUI on the cloud needs improvement. If it's more intuitive, someone new to it can spend less time on tutorials and pick it up faster. The truth is, if your product is good, you spend less time on advertising. I take my inspiration from Telegram. Their product was so good they didn't need to spend much on advertising. It just grew on its own.

I have been using it for the last one and a half years.

I've experienced it crashing a few times, but it's common with other products like Chrome or Firefox. So I understand that sometimes products require restarts. But outside of that, it's a very good tool.

It was for personal use. I got interested in the graph stack, which uses the Neo4j database as its backend. So it was more personal than for a company.

There were multiple reasons that I decided to go with Neo4j AuraDB rather than something else. Number one, it was cheap.

Then, being able to run it on the cloud for a single node was appealing. The tools also made me choose Neo4j.

There's a very good community around it, and the learning resources are easy to follow. They have useful blogs, and there's a product manager with a helpful YouTube channel. The community makes it very easy to use. That's one of the big selling points for me.

The initial setup is neither easy nor difficult. I've created both the on-premise app (downloaded directly from the website) and the AuraDB cloud version. The cloud version is simpler. I needed a short video clip on the website to install the on-premise Neo4j on my system.

The Cypher tutorial that comes with the on-premise Neo4j installation is thorough.

I used the free tier.

If you want to use it for the first time, I'd advise you to go for the cloud version, AuraDB.

If you want to use it as a company, at least using that, you can test if it fits your use case. As developers, we're trying to solve problems. The best way, the easiest way, the less painful way, and also the best way to maintain it is important. You might leave the company, and someone else needs to take over, and you want to spend less time setting them up so they succeed faster. I think they've done well with the AuraDB cloud section.

With the right tutorial, it is easy for a beginner to learn to use this tool for the first time. There are a lot of good tutorials available. I got into it from a Medium blog, and I've also tried creating tutorials myself.

Overall, with my experience, I would rate it a nine out of ten, from one being bad to ten being the best.

I'm a research scholar, and I've learned cipher language for my research work. I've been using Neo4j AuraDB for that cipher language.

I'm also working on Python as a front-end language. Integrating the front-end language with Neo4j AuraDB is a very easy process. We can directly import packages and see the visualization in the Python interface. Neo4j AuraDB provides interfaces for languages other than Python, such as Java.

I have been using Neo4j AuraDB for three to four years.

We don't have to install Neo4j AuraDB. The solution provides a server, and we can use an online server to create the database. You may not have to install it on the local system or server. You can also have direct online access.

I am using an open-source version of Neo4j AuraDB.

The solution's documentation has been well written. Sometimes, I look at different sources on the internet when I need help. Everything is available on the Neo4j website.

I attended the NODES workshop organized by the Neo4j community, where people from different backgrounds gave a very good lecture series. The lectures focused on which particular area and domain we can use Neo4j AuraDB as a database.

I would recommend the solution to other users. I have already recommended it to my colleagues working on different types of graphs. Some of my colleagues have started using Neo4j AuraDB and built a big graph. One of them has come up with a very nice social network graph.

I would definitely recommend Neo4j AuraDB to someone looking for an easy-to-use graphical database with a good user interface. The solution's visualization is very good, and you can use it to visualize property graphs and state-of-the-art knowledge graphs. Neo4j AuraDB has plenty of options in its repository.

Overall, I rate the solution eight and a half out of ten.
