Amazon Neptune vs. Apache TinkerPop vs. GraphBase vs. SQL Server Data Access Components Comparison Chart

Amazon Neptune is a fast, reliable, fully managed graph database service that makes it easy to build and run applications that work with highly connected datasets. The core of Amazon Neptune is a purpose-built, high-performance graph database engine optimized for storing billions of relationships and querying the graph with milliseconds latency. Amazon Neptune supports popular graph models Property Graph and W3C's RDF, and their respective query languages Apache TinkerPop Gremlin and SPARQL, allowing you to easily build queries that efficiently navigate highly connected datasets. Neptune powers graph use cases such as recommendation engines, fraud detection, knowledge graphs, drug discovery, and network security. Proactively detect and investigate IT infrastructure using a layered security approach. Visualize all infrastructure to plan, predict and mitigate risk. Build graph queries for near-real-time identity fraud pattern detection in financial and purchase transactions.

GraphBase is a Graph Database Management System (Graph DBMS) engineered to simplify the creation and maintenance of complex data graphs. Complex and highly-connected structures are a challenge for the Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). A graph database provides much better modelling utility, performance and scalability. The current crop of graph database products - the triplestores and property graphs - have been around for nearly two decades. They're powerful tools, they have many uses, but they're still not suited to the management of complex data structures. With GraphBase, our goal was to simplify the management of complex data structures, so that your data could become something more. It could become Knowledge. We achieved this by redefining how graph data should be managed. In GraphBase, the graph is a first-class citizen. You get a graph equivalent of the "rows and tables" paradigm that makes a Relational Database so easy to use.
