"Neo Technologies cites several customers, though none of them are household names."

Really? Adobe? Cisco? Deutsche Telecom? I'd say these are.

Does anyone here have real world experience with OrientDB? I consider it a candidate for a project at the moment (where MongoDB was too flaky, CouchDB too slow for unplanned queries and the relational model not a good fit for a document-oriented domain).

Actually, this article is about 5 Graph DBMS's.

If you are (like me) more interested in looking for Graph Databases to consider, it looks like Knuth's "Stanford GraphBase" is still the go-to source.

neo4j illustration is really fun. FlockDB is interesting.

FlockDB is really a SQL-JOIN-only database. It's how we scale many-to-many relationships.

For more traditional graph db applications, we use https://github.com/twitter/cassovary, which we just open-sourced.

tldr: Not interesting because it only compares what big buzz names the projects can be linked to, not on the actual merit of the databases/DBMSes in question.
