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."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager for a lot of services like ERP and PLM."
"The most valuable feature is the monitoring because it's very useful for checking and troubleshooting compared with other products, like Nagios for example, that have some interaction with Oracle."
"We use Oracle Enterprise Manager as a tool to monitor Oracle products."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"It is a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"The solution is easy to use and has good performance."
"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."
"The schema browser is the most valuable feature. The way it presents the objects in our database."
"The best product for working with Oracle databases for support, checking and loading data."
"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."
"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 product's most valuable features are UI and monitoring."
"It is very easy to manage all of the objects."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"Technical support could be faster."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"I would like to see an improvement in the performance because opening the browser and the editor should be faster."
"Toad for Oracle does not have a particular resolution within the application."
"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."
"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."
"There may be an issue with processing limitations but this cannot be confirmed as a problem with the product or with the newest releases."
"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."
"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."
"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."
