Have you tried gephi? It's not exactly an alternative to graphviz (eg. you can't cluster nodes) but it handles much larger graphs and has a bit more flexibility in layout. It has plugins for both dot and neo4j input.

Graphs and infosec go very well together.

Wow that looks cool. It reminds me of what Orange.app was for regular data viz, this Gephi is for graphs.

It's pretty notable that the coolest data viz is for discovery, whereas most managers just need to know whether the line has gone up or down. I'm thinking there may be a fundamentally different cognitive orientation to whether one is hunting for opportunity or managing a resource.

Gephi is fantastic, unfortunately it it hasn't seen a new release since 0.9.2 in 2017.
