"I like the ease of use and quick data usage."
"The newer version has a lot of new features. It generates output and scripts for your Ultrix. It can generate JSON, XML, etc."
"I have a lot of flexibility with it."
"You can install it on every platform. It just works. The other thing is that it's free. And Oracle is committed to the development of the tool, so it has been improving."
"Ability to analyze performance, using Explain Plan statement."
"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."
"It allows us to implement a form of test driven development (TDD) for database-resident code."
"You do not have to install it, just dump it on the OS, then use it."
"The most valuable features of Oracle SQL Developer that I use. However, I do not use all of them"
"The only issue that I have is that it depends on hardware resources, it takes a lot, that is the only set back with the solution."
"The lock files and login are two features we've had issues with. As far as I can see, there's no way to switch off the login in SQL Servers. If there could be a way to switch off the login, for transactions, or in operations, or tables, that'd be great."
"There are occasional runtime issues that are easily worked around, especially on a Windows deployment."
"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 competing products have more features."
"It's more stable sometimes and less stable other times. I have used it in Windows, Mac, and Linux. It's variable, it's not the same stability. I think that can be improved on."
"The initial setup is always a problem, it cannot find the Java SDK."
"It would be nice to have the ability to access DBs than Oracle."
"I would like it to support background processes better."
"There is room for improvement in the Real Time SQL Monitoring."
