Neo4j Graph Database Valuable Features

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

I found that graphed database does not use the join function. In LDBMS, there's usually the time function with some tables. However, in a graph database, they only have nodes, raw data, and it's very powerful. Using GDB, it's very, very competitive with the RDBMS for some functions and business processes. In some cases, there are a lot of times, a lot of days, or a lot of months to get the results using the RDBMS; however, using the GDB, it only needs a few seconds or a few minutes.

I tested and trained using Neo4j, and the Neo4j database also has a user interface solution called Bloom which is a very, very powerful solution for the client. 

The graph database is very different from the relational database. The graph data solution is not popular in Korea. However, it will be very popular and competitive for customers in the future. It's very good. In two to five years, the GDB, graph database, will be really popular.

The product is easy to set up. 

It is stable. 

The solution can scale.

The graph modeling paradigm suits our data set well, where there may be orders of magnitude more connections between data points than data points themselves. The Cypher query language is declarative, expressive and easy to learn the basics. Graph database design also allows for interesting optimization patterns that are more difficult to visualize and model in relational or key/value databases.
