System Properties Comparison Blazegraph vs. DataFS vs. Dgraph vs. HugeGraph vs. SAP Advantage Database Server

Editorial information provided by DB-Engines

Name

Amazon has acquired Blazegraph's domain and (probably) product. It is said that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph.

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

Description

High-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.

All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.

Distributed and scalable native Graph DBMS

A fast-speed and highly-scalable Graph DBMS

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

Primary database model
