I've been working with Neo4j daily for the past 3+ years and at first I was surprised by the comparison until I discovered memgraph works in-memory in contrast of Neo4j which works on disk. As others commenters have already said, I'd make it clear in your page to make it fair.

Fair point, but it's not only that, there are many differences, it's mostly impossible to put 2 different systems in a fair config state, it's more about how different systems operate with certain configs / in certain environments. E.g. apparently Neo4j limits the number of concurrent execution threads in the community edition, which means it's not possible to fully stress the system... stuff like that :)

Thanks for the input. It is a fair point. It is hard to create benchmark that is universally fair. But both things serve the same/similar purpose, on top of that, Neo4j also loads a bunch of stuff into RAM, consuming more memory than Memgraph, if your dataset fits in RAM, it because quite a fair comparison.
