Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."You can have multiple scans archived when comparing the tracing from a baseline perspective. Two scans can give us insights concerning the difference between a good and a bad situation."
"I haven't seen any issues with scalability. We have about 1000 people on our IT team who use the solution."
"The best product for working with Oracle databases for support, checking and loading data."
"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 tool evaluates non-optimized queries and generates the queries in a way that is more optimal - in addition to giving us some good practices for code development."
"Simply the best GUI software for administration is the most valuable aspect for me."
"The most valuable feature of Toad for Oracle is the fashion browser and the Schema browser. It is very complete."
"Toad for Oracle has proven to be better than other tools since we have never experienced any crashes."
"I like that it's very flexible and helpful in query accuracy, analysis, and data visualization. I also like the move facilities available in Toad for Oracle. Overall, I think it's a fantastic product for analyzing SQL queries and managing all kinds of queries."
"SQL Doctor should be improved in Availability Groups, mirroring, and clustering analyses. We mostly see index and query plan analyses. It should be broader than this."
"I would like to see an improvement in the performance because opening the browser and the editor should be faster."
"Toad for Oracle could improve code completion, it is very slow."
"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."
"Query optimization is still very resource-intensive."
"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."
"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."
"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 may be an issue with processing limitations but this cannot be confirmed as a problem with the product or with the newest releases."
