Neo4j Advantages

Unlimited scalability – Neo4j 4.0 provides horizontal scaling. Organizations with the most extreme scaling needs now benefit from Neo4j’s minutes-to-milliseconds performance advantage over relational and No-SQL databases, un-tethered by data volume restrictions.
Granular security – With Neo4j 4.0, developers and administrators now have more control over access to data for security and privacy purposes. These granular security controls ensure that only the appropriate users have access to sensitive data, opening up potential new graph use cases in areas such as patient information in medical research.
Operational agility – Neo4j 4.0 adds multi-database capabilities with separation of data, allowing multiple databases to be run inside a single Neo4j cluster. This provides significant operational efficiency, security and agility for B2B SaaS multi-tenancy, development convenience and regulatory compliance.
Reactive architecture -Reactive systems are defined as being responsive, resilient, elastic and message-driven to deliver maximum scalability and performance. Neo4j 4.0 empowers developers by providing them with full control over how their applications interact with the database, including robust data pipelines, streaming data, machine learning and more.
