Apache TinkerPop vs. ArangoDB vs. Graphlytic vs. python-sql Comparison Chart

Apache TinkerPop™ is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). Gremlin is the graph traversal language of Apache TinkerPop. Gremlin is a functional, data-flow language that enables users to succinctly express complex traversals on (or queries of) their application's property graph. Every Gremlin traversal is composed of a sequence of (potentially nested) steps. A graph is a structure composed of vertices and edges. Both vertices and edges can have an arbitrary number of key/value pairs called properties. Vertices denote discrete objects such as a person, a place, or an event. Edges denote relationships between vertices. For instance, a person may know another person, have been involved in an event, and/or have recently been at a particular place. If a user's domain is composed of a heterogeneous set of objects (vertices) that can be related to one another in a multitude of ways (edges).

Graphlytic is a customizable web platform for knowledge graph visualization and analysis. Users can interactively explore the graph, look for patterns with the Cypher or Gremlin query languages (or query templates for non-tech users), or use filters to find the answers to any graph question. The graph visualization brings deep insights in industries, such as scientific research, anti-fraud investigation, etc. Users with very little graph theory knowledge can start to explore the data in no time. Graph rendering is done with the Cytoscape.js library which allows us to render tens of thousands of nodes and hundreds of thousands of relationships. The application is provided in three ways: Desktop, Cloud, and Server. Graphlytic Desktop is a free Neo4j Desktop application installed in just a few clicks. Cloud instances are ideal for small teams that don't want to worry about the installation and need to get up and running in very little time.
