"Once in a while, I may encounter a memory exception and have to abort the application.

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."
"An area where the solution could use some improvement is in terms of user-friendliness. During the initial setup phase, the solution was not very intuitive when attempting to establish connections."
"Query optimization is still very resource-intensive."
"I would like to see an improvement in the performance because opening the browser and the editor should be faster."
"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."
"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 could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."
"I'd like reporting to be more available. If it was a feature that was already installed, more people would take advantage of it."
