ArangoDB

Specs

Pro
Document and graph-orientend
You can model your data as documents or as a graph - no data model lock-in. You can even combine both models and use them in a single AQL query.

Top
Pro
Supports joins
Unlike many NoSQL databases, ArangoDB does support joins in AQL queries.

Top
Pro
JavaScript-API
You can extend ArangoDB using JavaScript that runs directly on the Server (Google V8). You can build data-centric microservices that aggregate, validate, transform or enrich data (It's up to you, plain JavaScript) and provide those via a custom API route.

Pro
Transaction save
You can use ACID Transactions for short and small data retrieval and/or modification operations in ArangoDB.

Easy install
Only takes about 30 seconds to install. They also have a docker file for running it on AWS, Google Cloud or your own.

Changefeeds (change listeners)
You can listen to changes and trigger code based on these changes.

Top
Con
No user accounts
This is just the database, you need to setup your own auth and user accounts (such as using Auth0).
See More
Top
Pro
Powerful query language
RethinkDB's ReQL is a very powerful functional query language. The functional aspects of ReQL and the straightforward implementation of the Node driver for Rethinkdb make it a natural fit for Javascript developers. You no longer have to type some obscure syntax in quotes (aka SQL), your queries are just "natural" Javascript functions in the same way you would use lodash to handle your collections.

Pro
Auto master promotion
Unlike a lot of other databases where if the master is down the system is down, this one if the master is down someone else is made master so much more peer to peer.
See More
Top
Pro
CLI and web administration tools
RethinkDB has administration tools in both CLI and GUI (web app). You can view whats going on right away by going to localhost:8080. The data explorer allows you to run queries on the db.

Pro
Horizontal scalability
RethinkDB is scalable horizontally. It has support for sharding, parallel queries and MVCC concurrency.

Top
Pro
Ease of cluster setup
You can directly tell it to shard/replicate and how many shards/replicas depending on the amount of nodes. Each node doesn't need anything except one other node's ip/port in the cluster to join and maybe the auth.

Works well between physical network partitions
CouchDB works very well even when the network is physically partitioned
See More
Top
Con
Can only achieve consistency through replication and verification
Since CouchDB is considered an AP (Available, Partition-Tolerant database management system), it is not really consistent (not all clients can have the same view of the data consistently) and the only way to achieve some "eventual consistency" is through replication and verification of data.
See More
Top
Pro
Available
CouchDB is considered an available DMS according to the ACP theory of database management. As such it allows every client to always read and write
See More
Top
Con
Uncertain future
After a very promising start, development began to drag after major supporters like Canonical, Selenium and CouchOne either shut down or moved to other tools. Development has begun to pick up again.
See More
Top
Pro
Useful for applications where versioning is important
CouchDB is mostly used in applications where a large amount of data needs to be accumulated and where data only changes rarely.
See More
Top
Pro
Changes API
You can use the RESTful API to listen for changes in your database, which is something most databases can't do. It makes it really easy for clients to keep their view of data up-to-date.
See More
Top
Pro
RESTful API
Since everything is stored as a JSON document and served over HTTP, it's perfectly suited for communicating with client-side javascript, with or without middleware.

Con
Reported to lose or corrupt data
MongoDB is famously known for leaking and losing data over time.
See More
Top
Pro
Great speed
MongoDB queries can be very fast because the data is usually all in one place and can easily be retrieved in a single lookup. But this is true only when the data is truly a document. When it's trying to emulate a relational model it starts to become really slow because it may have to perform many independent queries to retrieve a single document.
See More
Top
Con
Document Stores may be not suited for relational data
MongoDB has no JOIN, all relations are supposed to be resolved client-size which entails additional requests to the server.
See More
Top
Pro
Uses JSON
As Node.js uses JavaScript there's no need to map the returned JSON data from MongoDB, as JavaScript is a superset of JSON. Essentially solving object-relational impedance mismatch by its very nature. Working with JSON is also easier overall as it more easily fits into how you would represent data on the client.
See More
Top
Con
Need many search features
Though it is possible to index and search text in documents in MongoDB 4.0 in multiple languages. The indexing and search is not as powerful as for example Elastic Search. For instance not being able to search for only parts of words.
See More
Top
Pro
Doesn't require a unified data structure
Mongo is very flexible in that it doesn't require a unified data structure across all objects. So it's rather easy to use.
See More
Top
Pro
Easy to scale
MongoDB has powerful sharding and scaling capabilities for when the data stored in the database gets so large that a single machine may not be able to store all of it. Sharding solves this problem through horizontal scaling. Mongo gives developers the ability to easily and painlessly add or remove as many machines as needed.

Pro
Multi-model database (document, object, graph)
This database is primarily, or historically, thought of as a graph database. However, it is actually a multi-model database that supports a variety of noSQL models (key-value, document, etc.).
See More
Top
Con
Not well known
It's a very unfortunate thing, but it's true. Not many people know of this gem so that makes it difficult to find community support at times. It also makes it hard to get people on board with it who shop products by brand name or flashy marketing. It also means there are fewer code snippets, libraries, and frameworks that consider it. While it's interoperability is good with SQL support and Tinkerpop, it still doesn't change the fact that many things don't give it much thought and that can lead to more work as a developer sometimes.

Open Source commercial friendly license (Apache 2)
The Apache 2 license is one of the most liberal licenses. You can use OrientDB for any purpose for free.
See More
Top
Con
Learning curve
A lot of effort went into making OrientDB easy and familiar to use (such as SQL queries for example). However, it's important to understand the database engine a bit and how it works in general (links for example). This involves a bit of a learning curve if you're not familiar with graph databases. Not an enormous curve or anything, but it's still a consideration.

Top
Pro
Free clustering support
Unlike other NoSql databases, OrientDB offers clustering support for free. Furthermore, it's not a basic Master/Slave, but it supports Master-Master replication + Sharding.

Top
Con
Bulk inserts may cause an out of memory crash
When doing inserts in OrientDB you have to be careful to do them one at a time. Bulk inserts may cause out of memory error.

Top
Pro
Supports sql as well as other query languages
It can be queried in a number of ways, but the ability to query with SQL makes it a bit more familiar to use.

Top
Pro
Multi-master replication
OrientDB is incredibly scalable thanks to its multi-master replication. All nodes in a cluster can both read and write.

Full text search
Full text search support is available when using Lucene based indexing algorithm.

Performance
OrientDB is very fast, especially when it comes to relationships between records (or "links").
