Easy to learn and use, light on system, helpful people
What do you like best about the product?
These guys really do add nice things here that you didn't know you needed. They make good choices. They don't try to do everything. (although multi-model gives you a lot along with FOXX) A very friendly license.
What do you dislike about the product?
Mostly I wish there were more language bindings and traction in the community. More and bigger examples and some books would make me happy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using this to manage data in QA Automation workflows. It is so capable and flexible and easy to bring up and start using. This has allowed me to store data outside our Jenkins CI and outside of our Git repository for both temporary and long term use. The flexible structure is of course super in letting me adjust things quickly to what I need to keep my QA Automations working.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you want a friendly license, built in admin & access controls, performance (not built on Java) and well thought out features that work. Look to ArangoDB. This will get you up and running fast, and it will leave you with lots of options to keep working. This is not a one-trick-pony, but a very very capable tool. Just working with it as a JSON document database and using one of the several excellent Python language bindings, then figuring out queries as I go, it is just great to work with. AQL makes more sense when you realize it's all about the JSON and it works out really well with Python (and of course very natively in JavaScript apps). If you are doing work in JavaScript, this is a fabulous tool to turn to. I am really looking forward to the benefits this will bring long term. I am curious how well I can get things integrated to other tools like Elastic Search.
There are so many friendly tools built in. They are very discoverable and continue to be useful even after you have learned a lot.

Powerful, fast, and keeps getting better
What do you like best about the product?
For starters, you can be up and running in minutes. While there are many advanced configuration options, getting a basic installation at a usable level it trivial. Being able to move back and forth between document and graph databases is a huge plus. It is VERY fast and the AQL language is incredibly powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
There are places where the documentation is somewhat lacking. It is improving to be sure, but there is still opportunity for improvement.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As the back-end for a cryptographic key and certificate management system, it is management of incredibly complex and multi-faceted data--and mapping relationships within that data--a quantifiable, repeatable task. AQL queries alone have saved countless hours of effort.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take the time to read *all* of the documentation as well as the community driven Cookbook.
The best multi-model database
What do you like best about the product?
Multi -model concept is a nice-to-have feature for a database.
Storing documents and graphs allows users to have a single place where to store theirs data and query them in multiple ways.
ArangoDB provides a query language (AQL) similar to SQL for querying the data.
ArangoDB provides also a microservices framework named Foxx : you can add some business logic that is executed in the database (performance benefits).

What do you dislike about the product?
A specific AQL shell is missing (you have to embed your queries in Javascript).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem was how to store complex data with an evolutive (moving frequently) schema.
ArangoDB provides a simple way to store theses kind of documents in a simple way.
