System Properties Comparison BaseX vs. Machbase Neo vs. Memgraph vs. Redis vs. SAP Advantage Database Server

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

SAP Advantage Database Server seems to be discontinued. Therefore it is excluded from the DB-Engines Ranking.

Description

Light-weight Native XML DBMS with support for XQuery 3.0 and interactive GUI.

TimeSeries DBMS for AIoT and BigData

An open source graph database built for real-time streaming and compatible with Neo4j

Popular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments

Redis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.

Low-cost RDBMS with access to ISAM and FoxPro data structures

Primary database model

Multiple data types and a rich set of operations, as well as configurable data expiration, eviction and persistence

Relational DBMS

Secondary database models

Document store

with RedisJSON
Graph DBMS
