Neo4j first of all is very slow for vectors, so if performance is something that matters for your user experience they definitely aren't a viable option. This is probably why Neo4j themselves have released guides on how to build that middleman software I mentioned with Qdrant for viable performance.
Furthermore, the vectors is capped at 4k dimensions which although may be enough most of the time, is a problem for some of the users we've spoken to.
Also, they don't allow pre filtering which is a problem for a few people we've spoken to including Zep AI.
They are on the right track, but there are a lot of holes that we are hoping to fill :)
Edit: AND, it is super memory intensive. People have had problems using extremely small datasets and have had memory overflows.
