Easy to use and not so expensive
For first-time users, if you don't know much about the tool, I think you should go with a document-based DBMS tool. I had to use the tool because I learned about it in college. My advice to others is that they need to learn about the tool, nodes, and vertices and then purchase Neo4j Graph Database. It will be a little bit difficult for new users to know what is the meaning of a node, what vertices are, how to use it, or how an application can use it. The tool is easy for new users as it is an intuitive tool. I rate the tool a nine out of ten.

The implementation is simple and only takes 15 to 30 minutes
NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Enables people to understand what the business problem is and how the technology helps."
"Creates the ability to visualize outputs."
"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."
"For now, the tool doesn't break down or stop, so it is quite stable."
"As a graph database, I am surprised at their performance and response time."
"The tool performs well."
"We have a support agreement with Oracle, ensuring full support for the product. It is crucial for our public-facing features. Oracle NoSQL is easy to manage and has fast data retrieval. Its compatibility with Oracle Database is seamless, making integration between NoSQL and relational databases smooth and effortless. Oracle NoSQL and NoSQL data replication in our environment works efficiently. Oracle fully supports it, and we can easily configure and manage authentication for the NoSQL database."
"NoSQL has high availability. I think it's perfect from a technical perspective. It's quick to run and go."
"The product meets expectations when it comes to stability."
"The tool is easy to learn."
 

Cons

"For me, when the tool was deployed on an on-premises model, it was a little bit difficult the first time."
"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."
"There are concerns about performance and whether the tool can necessarily scale to provide the solution."
"So far, we have not had any issues and are happy with the product in general."
"Handling big data in a user-friendly way is currently a bit of an issue. The dashboard for this needs some work."
"The licensing model is bad."
"Oracle could improve how NoSQL works in containers. I don't think NoSQL needs any new features, but I want to see new features in the Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. I would like to see some improvements in OCI's building options."
"The installation is difficult."
"Focusing on making the administration easier compared to other solutions like MongoDB could be beneficial. Simplifying the administrative tasks could enhance the user experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The product is expensive and Oracle could work to lower the licensing cost."
