ArangoDB users point to the database’s query language, availability and storage as the three most liked features of the product. The list included 18 tools across a range of different types of database software, such as graph, relational and document database tools. To qualify for the best free database list, a product was required to offer a free option as well as have one of the highest user satisfaction scores.
