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 powerful and fast. Its performance is good."
"The technical support team is always available to help us."
"Storing is a valuable feature. We can store as an entire object rather than the traditional structure of the data."
"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."
"One of the most valuable features of Amazon DynamoDB is it can handle unstructured or semi-structured data."
"Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed service by AWS, and it is designed to provide fast and predictable performance."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten. I've never faced any problems."
"We switched to DynamoDB from a relational database that would've had scale problems and would've cost a lot of money to run at scale. DynamoDB allows us to match expense to usage. When not many people are using and it's a quiet day, there is a low cost. On a busy day, there is a higher cost. We get good performance along the way and less maintenance on the database."
"Relational databases are never good at identifying patterns in graphs or other similar relationships, whereas Amazon Neptune is."
"Amazon DynamoDB could improve by being more robust, having a better user interface and data management. Additionally, there is some limited functionality compared to other solutions, such as MongoDB."
"The pricing for larger databases is higher."
"The primary key is quite slow."
"There are some issues like if we missed something or somehow were not able to store the data, then it was quite difficult for us to get back that data."
"The solution has size limitations. It also needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution could be cheaper."
"Currently, there is no option for a scheduled refresh in this solution. We want the data to be populated into DynamoDB on a timely basis. Currently, you have to go to the DynamoDB table and hit the refresh button to populate it with the new data. If you have connected DynamoDB to a BI application for creating visualizations with charts, graphs, or other things, you would want it to get updated as per the schedule so that you have updated visualizations in your BI application."
"They could provide more information or training programs to deliver knowledge to the engineers about the components of relational databases similar to popular vendors."
"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."
