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."Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."
"Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."
"Simply the best GUI software for administration is the most valuable aspect for me."
"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."
"Toad for Oracle has proven to be better than other tools since we have never experienced any crashes."
"The schema browser is the most valuable feature. The way it presents the objects in our database."
"Oracle has advanced query optimization and tuning features that help improve the performance of SQL queries."
"It is very easy to manage all of the objects."
"The most valuable feature of Toad for Oracle is the fashion browser and the Schema browser. It is very complete."
"The best product for working with Oracle databases for support, checking and loading data."
"Sometimes, I feel that the startup time takes a bit more time than needed."
"One thing I would like to see changed is having the JDBC drivers in a fixed location outside of the application package."
"Toad for Oracle could improve code completion, it is very slow."
"Query optimization is still very resource-intensive."
"Toad for Oracle does not have a particular resolution within the application."
"The way the dialog boxes appear can be improved."
"It would be better if they had an online option allowing me to connect from anywhere on any device. Sometimes I face some errors, depending on the network and setup. It's not a big issue."
"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."
"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."
"There should also be a better "cancel query" option as sometimes one cancels a query, but then it still might run for a long time, and then one has to crash Toad in order to cancel the query."
