We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager and Toad for Oracle based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a scalable solution."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager helps to control servers."
"The single-pane and single interface in the centralized system is the most valuable feature."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"I like that it's very flexible and helpful in query accuracy, analysis, and data visualization. I also like the move facilities available in Toad for Oracle. Overall, I think it's a fantastic product for analyzing SQL queries and managing all kinds of queries."
"I find Toad easy to use and I love the Workspace feature, which allows me to set up projects so that I can open SQL files applicable to what I am working on at any particular time."
"Toad has a lot of features that are very useful, fast, and well developed."
"The most valuable feature is the navigation within the UI, where you can right-click on an object in an SQL query and go right to it, versus going through all of the menus to find what you are looking for."
"I haven't seen any issues with scalability. We have about 1000 people on our IT team who use the solution."
"Oracle has advanced query optimization and tuning features that help improve the performance of SQL queries."
"The best product for working with Oracle databases for support, checking and loading data."
"A quite simple feature that I have not encountered elsewhere is the "Make Code" feature. I can easily export a complex SQL statement to a programming language. This is a great timesaver as I do not have to type in all of the escape/concatenation characters just to create a SQL statement in C# or C++."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"My opinion is that this solution needs to improve consolidation. That is what our business needs the most right now."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"Sometimes it works in some areas, but in others, it doesn't. Like when you copy, you find that it's blank and doesn't copy anything. So, there are some objects that do copy, and sometimes they don't."
"Toad for Oracle does not have a particular resolution within the application."
"There may be an issue with processing limitations but this cannot be confirmed as a problem with the product or with the newest releases."
"The way the dialog boxes appear can be improved."
"In future releases, the product can be more intuitive. It has to be lighter than what it is because sometimes it is not responding quickly. If I do some features at the same time, it's not supporting. I have to wait sometimes to get the action. It's dependent on the resources of the workstation, but it has to be improved in this area. The faster processing is needed."
"Once in a while, I may encounter a memory exception and have to abort the application. On a few occasions, the file that stores the saved connections for the New Connection window will become corrupt and I will lose all of my saved connections. I am not sure if that is a Windows or TOAD issue, but it has happened to all of my developers at some point or another."
"Improvement wise, for the user it should show the minimum features on the screen and not all the features. Toad has a lot of features, but most users will use only 5 or 10 based on their role. Nobody needs all the features, and they should provide the option to choose only the required features. Only minimum requirements should be enabled by default. When all the features are shown, the performance is not good; it loads slowly and has hundreds of popups and unnecessary questions."
"I'd like reporting to be more available. If it was a feature that was already installed, more people would take advantage of it."
