Our review
Pros
  • Independent scaling for graph compute and storage
  • Gremlin support through Apache TinkerPop
  • Strong-consistency transactions with RBAC, TLS, and audit logging
  • Distributed native parallel graph processing for highly connected data
  • Hybrid graph and vector search with graph algorithms and AI/ML tools
  • Managed cloud and self-managed Linux, Docker, or Kubernetes deployment
Cons
  • No free plan
  • Paid pricing requires contact with sales
  • No verified graph algorithms or vector search
  • Savanna pricing is usage-based and storage is billed separately
  • Advanced capacity and availability features require higher-tier plans
  • The platform may exceed the needs of teams seeking a narrow graph database
