• Complex to model and store relationships
• Performance degrades with increases in data
• Queries get long and complex
• Maintenance is painful
SQL Pains
• Easy to model and store relationships
• Performance of relationship traversal remains constant with
growth in data size
• Queries are shortened and more readable
• Adding additional properties and relationships can be done on
the fly - no migrations
Graph Gains
