Neo4j has long been recognised as the world's leading graph database, and now is expanding to be a true platform for Enterprise Graph Applications. Now is a better time than ever to explore which version of Neo4j you should be using considering the product features and/or services you want to benefit from. In this webinar, we'll walk through the different versions of Neo4j, discuss and show their remits, and present what the alternative (open source or commercial) licensing options may be. Specifically, we'll dig into the free open-source, free commercial (for individuals, startups, and academics) and paid commercial options and answer any questions that you may have.
