If you need help setting this up, please contact the NeoDash team.

4. Is NeoDash Production Ready?

NeoDash is safe to be used in a production environment. As it is a reporting tool, keep the following things in mind:

  • Always use read-only Neo4j accounts when connecting to a dashboard.

  • Always deploy NeoDash with SSL, so that an encrypted Neo4j connection must be used.

  • As NeoDash accesses Neo4j directly, make sure you only give access to the right people. As a rule of thumb, you should give NeoDash access to the people that can also see Bloom.

For other questions regarding setting up your own production deployment, contact the NeoDash team.

5. Can I use NeoDash with Neo4j Community Edition?

Yes, NeoDash can be used with any type of Neo4j deployment (On-premise, cloud, or fully managed in Neo4j Aura). We do however recommend that you use the Enterprise version, as it lets you create a dedicated read-only user for reporting.
