"The most valuable features of Oracle SQL Developer that I use. However, I do not use all of them"
"It allows us to implement a form of test driven development (TDD) for database-resident code."
"It's easy to deploy, I can copy it onto the system and run it without having to install it and this makes it a very good solution for quick use."
"I have a lot of flexibility with it."
"I like it because it's very similar in output to SQL *Plus, and it has many convenience features that make it easier to read the data and use the basic reporting features it provides."
"Using execution plan, I am able to do lots of query tuning."
"You do not have to install it, just dump it on the OS, then use it."
"Auto-complete is the best feature of the solution."
"I found all features valuable and necessary in Toad Data Modeler, particularly how good the solution is for modeling, database schema generation, and database re-engineering. I also found Toad Data Modeler straightforward to use."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"There are occasional runtime issues that are easily worked around, especially on a Windows deployment."
"There is room for improvement in the Real Time SQL Monitoring."
"Scalability has room for improvement. Often if you have to do a heavy load of queries or are getting large result sets you have to be careful not to overload the Java virtual machine that's running."
"The stability depends on what version you're using. There are more successful versions and are less successful versions. For example, 17.3 is less successful. There were many bugs. Now, we are trying to pull all the developers to upgrade to 17.4."
"It would be nice to have the ability to access DBs than Oracle."
"I think it would be great to have an overview over the sessions it opens so that we could easily see and control which connections to the database we want to keep open, which ones are hanging; and it would be great to make them independent from each other."
"The competing products have more features."
"Oracle SQL Developer could improve the speed, it is a bit slow."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup."
