This reads like marketing material for your product rather than an unbiased comparison.

Being in memory vs Neo4j doesn’t even seem like a fair comparison. I would hope to god your product is faster for that reason. But it’s like comparing a minivan vs an electric smart car. One is quick and fast but it has its limitations, and the other option is more versatile.

Also I think you’re limiting yourself if the positioning of your product is purely as a counter part to Neo4j, and riding on their coattails.

Glad to see some thoughts about benchmarking, but every vendor makes such a thing and, surprise surprise, they’re always better than the rest.

We plan to add more graph database vendors to this benchmark, this will not be just Memgraph vs Neo4j comparison, hence the name "bench graph". You are 100% right about comparing architecturally different database systems, it is hard to compare them, but they serve the same/similar purposes, we are mentioning that part in limitations methodology: https://github.com/memgraph/memgraph/tree/master/tests/mgben... We first added Neo4j since we are both compatible.
