We performed a comparison between Amazon DynamoDB and Amazon Neptune based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google and others in Managed NoSQL Databases."Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed service by AWS, and it is designed to provide fast and predictable performance."
"The most valuable features are the flexibility and the compatibility options without needing to use any additional services or software. It is an independent solution that doesn't need other solutions to operate."
"The possibility of managing documents is the most valuable aspect of the solution. I like the fact that I don't have to define the fields."
"Offers a vital query-handling feature"
"Speed is the most valuable feature. The speed to store and retrieve data from it."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon DynamoDB is it can handle unstructured or semi-structured data."
"It offers quick performance and rapid data retrieval, often providing limited data initially but scaling up to fulfill larger demands seamlessly."
"Amazon DynamoDB is powerful and fast. Its performance is good."
"Relational databases are never good at identifying patterns in graphs or other similar relationships, whereas Amazon Neptune is."
"Sometimes when we query through the UI, it takes a long time to get the results."
"The solution's backup and restore could be improved to be able to utilize batch operations."
"Querying data on the solution is quite limited, but this is like any other NoSQL database. It's the most common criticism of the NoSQL database in general."
"The primary key is quite slow."
"If the database is kept running continuously, extra costs will be incurred. This particular area needs enhancement."
"The solution's interface is the biggest challenge because if you want to access DynamoDB, you need an AWS account."
"Data integrity across availability zones would be a valuable addition. Currently, DynamoDB provides eventual consistency across availability zones, but strong consistency would be beneficial for certain use cases."
"I'd like to see better integration with Cognito. It has the integration, but I'd like to see a little more ease of setup. If you have multiple customers and you want the database to enforce who can see what, you can treat DynamoDB so that each row has permissions. You can set this up, but it's a little more of a science project to make Cognito and DynamoDB work well to do protection of individual rows. So I'd like that to be more wizard or easy to set up."
"Amazon Neptune could improve by spreading more awareness for others to have an understanding of the solution because the technology is fairly new. The developer community and larger community do not understand it yet."
