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."Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."
"Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."
"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 product's most valuable features are UI and monitoring."
"I haven't seen any issues with scalability. We have about 1000 people on our IT team who use the solution."
"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."
"The schema browser is the most valuable feature. The way it presents the objects in our database."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Toad for Oracle does not have a particular resolution within the application."
"The way the dialog boxes appear can be improved."
"Query optimization is still very resource-intensive."
"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."
"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."
"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."
