It is able to handle simultaneous connections when using the embedded software version. It is well suited for organizations looking for standalone servers that can handle high data volumes and still perform well and which is also cost-effective database management system especially when they are working on a low budget.Incentivized
Neo4J is great for creating network graphs or illustrating how things are related. It is also good for finding individuals or things that have greater influence than others in a system. It is not appropriate if you have standard data sets that can be analyzed using conventional methods or visualized using Tableau, for example.Incentivized
Performance is really fast.It is portable and easy to take back ups.Its open n source and free.Incentivized
Mature Query language, I found Cypher QL to be mature in handling all sorts of problems we throw at it. Its expressive enough to be intuitive while providing rich features for various scenarios.Native support for REST API, that makes interacting with Neo4J intuitive and easy.Support for Procedures in Java, procedures are custom code that could be added to the Neo4J to write custom querying of data. The best part about the procedures is it could be invoked using the REST API. This allows us to overcome any shortcomings from their Cypher query language.Nice UI and interface for executing the Query and visualizing the response.UI access controlled by User credentials allows for neat access controls.Awesome free community edition for small-scale projects.Incentivized
Documentation.No GUI tool to view data.Slow via remote access.Incentivized
One of the hardest challenges that Neo4j had to solve was the horizontal scaling problem. I am not updated on recent developments, but at the time of my use, I couldn't find a viable solution.Neo4j does not play with other open source APIs like Blueprint. You have to use the native Neo4j API.There wasn't a visual tool to see your data. Of course, third party tools are always available, but I would have loved something which came with the Neo4j bundle. I love that Docker comes bundled with Kitematic, so it's not wrong to hope that Neo4j could also ship with some default visualization software.Incentivized
Because it is free and usually zero maintenance. Just the issue of more difficult format updates in the future lower the rating a bit.Incentivized
Usability has improved by unifying the architecture. The only thing's missing out of the box is a simple GUI DB tool for viewing DB contents and maybe running some SQL queries.Incentivized
[Based on] Query Language, Performance on small and large data sets, integration and deployment, analysis, API support, Interactive UI.Incentivized
This is an open source project. It provides a fair amount of free documentation and I think forums somewhere...Incentivized
Even somebody just starting to use RDBMS himself should get it working quickly, at least if he's got a GUI tool and some SQL knowledge.Incentivized
Because it is having Open Source License and easy to deploy on windows and linux environment Incentivized
Neo4j is a graph store and has different use cases compared to another NoSQL Document store like MongoDB. MongoDB is a bad choice when joins are common as existing operators for joining two documents (similar to tables in a relational store) as Mongo 3.5 use SQL like join algorithms which are expensive. MongoDB is a great choice when distributed schemaless rich document structures are important requirements. Cross document transaction support is not native to MongoDB yet, whereas Neo4J is ACID complaint with all its operations.Incentivized
Cost effective saving us from paid relational database.Community support.Efficiency in handling simultaneous connections.Incentivized
Positive: Less complex queries on graph structures, than in relational databases.Negative: maintenance is a huge deal, things doesn't work and break, requiring lengthy restore operations.
