Strengths and trade-offs
TigerGraph — where it wins
- 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
Where it doesn't
- 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
AllegroGraph — where it wins
- RDF, SPARQL, OWL, RDFS++, and Prolog support
- Sharding, federation, ACID transactions, and replication
- Vector storage, LLM integration, and graph visualization
Where it doesn't
- The Free plan is limited to 5 million triples
- Enterprise pricing is quote-based
- Semantic focus may not suit general property-graph workloads
- TigerGraph8.7/10 · Free plan
