Gurmeet K. - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Product Manager at a computer software company with 11-50 employees
Unified graph querying has driven deep multi-hop reasoning and transformed data governance
There are multiple features of PuppyGraph that I personally love. One of them is zero-ETL graph querying, which helps us connect with our data warehouses easily and link via dynamic JSON graph schemas. This enables us to explore relational tables, nodes, and edges in under seven minutes, which previously took three and a half hours, so it is a great reduction. I also love the massive distributed graph scalability. The distributed vectorized compute engine helps us auto-shard queries across nodes and consistently execute 10-hop traversals across multi-billion edge data sets in under two seconds. Additionally, I appreciate the unified single source of truth. It helps us commit to the underlying tables, and those commits are immediately queryable in the graph layer within zero seconds of ETL replication lag. This ensures that our AI agents never reason over stale data and always access the latest data without any lag or changes left. The governance and security of PuppyGraph are very good, and I would rate it 10 out of 10 in that aspect. PuppyGraph's governance and security features have helped our organization, as it queries lakehouse tables directly where they originate. This delivers an exceptional governance posture for our enterprise applications with the help of inherent source-level governance and ABAC, which has supported the existing row-level security while helping us implement RBAC and column masking policies. It stabilizes operations inside Snowflake in our data warehouses and has achieved 100% policy consistency with zero security drift. The accuracy and reliability of PuppyGraph's output are really great.

Reliable data management with great reliability and performance
From a sales pitch standpoint, it needs to deliver on promises of better ROI and compaction. Additionally, ticketing and support systems could be improved due to the time it takes to get answers. There's also an issue with compatibility when attempting to switch back from the enterprise to the community version.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"PuppyGraph has positively impacted our organization by driving transformative capital efficiency across our pipeline infrastructure, our storage footprint, and our product delivery."
"PuppyGraph is the best answer."
"ScyllaDB allows fine-tuning of the table structure. Speed is probably the most critical factor because we perform a lot of heavy data ingestion. One of its core features is its ability to handle high volumes and maintain speed when accessing data. Additionally, high availability and partitioning are built-in features of ScyllaDB."
"The documentation is good. It integrates easily with our existing data infrastructure."
"The best features of ScyllaDB are how it synchronizes data and its failover system. There's a unique formula to decide the number of nodes you need and the minimum required, which I find helpful. It also offers encryption and supports APIs, making it great for distributed systems and scaling databases across different regions. While it's easy to use, having prior experience helps configure it properly. There are many configurations; if you don't understand them, you might mess up the design. So, understanding your system's needs, like whether it requires more read or write operations, is crucial for setting up the correct configuration."
"Firstly, if I update something, it's most likely to finish within milliseconds."
"Scalability in performance is good."
"The performance and scalability are good, and we hardly see any major issues with ScyllaDB."
"The performance aspects of Scylla are good, as always... A good point about Scylla is that it can be used extensively."
"The product's most valuable features are efficiency and reliability."
 

Cons

"PuppyGraph is not a long-term solution as it is a virtual graph. Eventually, after we get the model right, we needed to move to Memgraph, another graph database."
"We faced several challenges while integrating ScyllaDB into our AWS environment. One common issue was that a security port wasn’t opened on one node, preventingdata synchronization across clusters. We noticed the data wasn’t syncing correctly when we saw different record counts in other regions. After investigating, we found that the port was closed in one AWS region. Once we opened the port, the data synchronization across all nodes resumed as expected."
"The product needs to add more features and improve the response time of the support team."
"ScyllaDB needs to improve its handling of transactions."
"If you don't have the best computing resources, then it's not easy to set up. In such cases, we have to run ScyllaDB in developer mode."
"Some of the regular commands in NoSQL do not work."
"We've had occasional performance challenges that required resource adjustments or optimizations in our interaction with the platform."
"From a sales pitch standpoint, it needs to deliver on promises of better ROI and compaction."
"The documentation of Scylla is an area with shortcomings and needs to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is an expensive tool compared to its competitor."
"I believe that there is a yearly licensing cost and that it's expensive."
"It's a bit expensive."
"The paid version of ScyllaDB is not that expensive. The main advantage of the paid version is direct support from the ScyllaDB team, which can resolve issues faster—typically within a day, compared to two to three days with the free version. The paid version also offers better guidance and support, while the free version has good documentation and is more high-level. I’d rate their support team nine out of ten because of the quick responses from their community."
"It's free."
