How is InfraNodus different from Neo4J?
InfraNodus is specifically designed for representing text as a network graph. It is not a graph database, but it does have graph storage with an API that can be used to generate a graph from any text and then retrieve some important insights about the connectivity, structure, relations, shortest paths, main clusters, gaps, etc.
Neo4J is a multi-purpose graph database, so it stores the data as nodes and relations and its specialized language Cypher can be used to query this database in multiple ways. It is much better suited for analyzing complex networks, but it doesn't have text graph analysis out of the box. You'd need to create a datastore structure and generate Cypher queries that would provide this as extra functionality.
Another advantage of InfraNodus is that you have much more detailed meta-data about each relation in plain text form, in addition to the relation description, so the graph is much more precise. It also provides multiple metrics from network science to give you a better information about the underlying structure.
