Boost authentication and session management with reliable and fast data handling

There is a lot of technical debt in our company, and we need to update to the latest versions. The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern. A tool for automatically handling such upgrades would reduce operational huddle. Additionally, it would be beneficial if Aerospike had a community version to encourage broader adoption and experimentation.

A flexible database with good documentation

If someone asks me whether to use Neo4j Graph Database, I'd want to know what they're building. I'd recommend it based on their use case. If it meets their needs, I'd suggest it. I recommend starting with the tool even for those exploring graph databases. It's been around since about 2010 and is better than other graph databases in many ways. Learning the tool depends on the programming language you're using. We had some challenges with Golang due to limited library support. However, Neo4j is easier to use with Node.js, JavaScript, or Python. Overall, I'd rate the tool eight to nine out of ten. It offers great features, scalability, and flexibility and has good documentation. It's easy to learn. However, every database has pros and cons, so the rating might change when comparing it to other graph databases.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"It shows better compression and compaction, which is valuable."

"For now, the tool doesn't break down or stop, so it is quite stable."

"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."

"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."

"The solution's best feature is how it differs from traditional SQL databases. It's hard to map people and find those near me in SQL, which requires long, complex queries. Neo4j Graph Database makes this easier with simpler queries. It also supports more data types, like JSON, which SQL doesn't."

"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."

Cons

"The lack of automation in upgrading clusters from development to production is a concern."

"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."

"For me, when the tool was deployed on an on-premises model, it was a little bit difficult the first time."

"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."

"The tool could improve by having more resources, especially for Golang, which we use. It lacks good basic libraries and doesn't have an ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool, which many NoSQL databases have. We thought about building an ORM for the Neo4j Graph Database but are too busy."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use around half a TB of data and spend approximately $36,000 to $40,000 USD per year on Aerospike."

"The tool is not expensive."

"The solution is open source so that you can use it for free. They also offer an enterprise version with its billing. If your company is earning well, I suggest using the enterprise version. Otherwise, you can deploy it on your own cloud and pay based on usage."
