Effortless time-series data analysis with seamless AWS integration and a straightforward setup
We use Amazon Timestream as a data historian for IT data. It stores all individual measurements of our customers' IoT devices for a certain period of time, allowing them to perform time-series-based analyses on top of it Using Amazon Timestream has been seamless due to its integration within the…

Graph-based knowledge has streamlined interconnected support queries and improves debugging
If I say so, how Neo4j AuraDB can be improved, at a very minute level, I can say that the graphs, if I want things to be in three dimensions. Currently we get them in two dimensions. When we scale this up, the maps become complicated, and in two dimensions things can be complex in visualization purposes. When we put in filters, the connections also vanish sometimes. The visualization side is something that could help. Additionally, if there is a voice search capability, which we can implement, that would add more functionality. With so much AI involved, AI could be helpful if we put in our data and enable it to give insights from the networks already developed in the graph. Some insights could be shown to our client, indicating that their data already contains meaningful insights, which could serve an analytical purpose. Voice search on the graph would be easily understandable and provide faster outputs to the customer.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Using Amazon Timestream has been seamless due to its integration within the AWS ecosystem and ease of use for the engineering team."
"What I like best is that the tool is easy to collect and store data and is fast and scalable. The fully managed database is easy to understand."
"You can quickly aggregate data from the last ten years with Amazon Timestream."
"If you drop a message, the solution's technical support will definitely reply."
"The best things about Amazon Timestream are it's maintenance-free, customizable, and has no lag issues. It's always real-time."
"Integrating the front-end language with Neo4j AuraDB is a very easy process."
"Neo4j Aura is a technically strong and capable managed graph database, and it has been valuable for research and production use."
"The stability and reliability of Neo4j AuraDB have been very good, as it is a managed service with a 99.95% SLA, so the stability is impressive and I have not faced any outages when the product stopped working abruptly during my tenure of one and a half years."
"The speed of recommendation really increased after we converted the first graph we had to a Neo4j AuraDB graph, as the response time reduced from about 5 to 10 seconds to about 1 to 5 seconds in most cases."
"Neo4j AuraDB has impacted my organization positively by improving query performance."
"The best features Neo4j AuraDB offers are that it is easy to quickly build a solution with their tooling."
"From my experience, I particularly like the professional version. Initially, developers often start with the free variant. Once the project grows, we switch to the professional version, which offers multiple databases, expanded memory, and better scalability. This allows us to handle more data and use cloud scaling features."
"Neo4j helped us decrease our development time and also the storage level, which was very much helpful."
 

Cons

"The tool could be improved by increasing the batch size from one hundred records to five hundred or a thousand to speed up indexing."
"The solution could be improved by making it easier for new graduates like me to use. Better explanations of queries and how to use them with other AWS services would help."
"Arranging the database schema is a bit challenging."
"There are certain features that we would like to see added and we are collaborating with the product teams on these areas."
"There are disadvantages when it comes to time series databases since you can't delete anything from Amazon Timestream data."
"Neo4j AuraDB is a very strong platform, but there are a few areas for improvement. The pricing model can be somewhat unpredictable as your database grows, since costs scale with node and relationship counts."
"There’s room for improvement in Neo4j AuraDB, especially on the developer side. The learning curve can be steep, and the interface for developing and pushing code can be unnecessarily complex. It might be beneficial to simplify this process to help developers ramp up more quickly. Working with graph databases like Neo4j can be more challenging than standard databases, particularly for juniors and those new to graph technology. Streamlining the development process could make it easier for new users to get up to speed. This would be particularly useful for teams with less experience in graph databases. If I could add a feature to Neo4j AuraDB, I’d focus on improving the Bloom interface. It’s excellent for visualizing smaller datasets, but navigating through it becomes challenging as the data grows—say, past 100,000nodes. The interface works well for beginners but doesn’t scale effectively for more advanced users of large datasets. I want a UI that bridges the gap between the easy-to-use Bloom interface and more complex, text-based tools. This would help manage larger datasets more efficiently and improve performance."
"Cost is another factor to consider, as Neo4j AuraDB can be relatively expensive and resource-intensive compared to some alternatives."
"During the product's initial setup phase, there were some issues due to disconnections in the tool's network."
"I would love to see a Retool type of interface builder with Neo4j AuraDB."
"A production database service was suspended without prior notice, and a platform-side marketplace transition effectively forced migration."
"If I say so, how Neo4j AuraDB can be improved, at a very minute level, I can say that the graphs, if I want things to be in three dimensions."
"Some features can help if they can visualize graphs better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Amazon Timestream's pricing seems manageable to me."
"We pay over $10 million a year to Amazon."
"For 1GB of data, the solution charges $ 0.01 in the US region."
"We don't see high costs with Amazon Timestream, which may vary by company."
"I used the free tier."
"I am using an open-source version of Neo4j AuraDB."
"The tool's enterprise edition is very expensive."
"Neo4j AuraDB is reasonably priced, especially considering it removes the need for cloud administration and associated costs. It's a good deal for the professional version, as it includes managed services, which reduces the overhead compared to setting up your own infrastructure. The cost can be higher for enterprise-scale projects, but that's often due to the scale and complexity of the project rather than the product itself. Startups sometimes overestimate their needs and jump to enterprise pricing too quickly, leading to higher costs than necessary."
