Find out what your peers are saying about GitHub, Amazon Web Services (AWS), JetBrains and others in IDE."Having the complete development environment in Linux in the same way as in Windows is already the best."
"Good support for refactoring."
"The newer version has a lot of new features. It generates output and scripts for your Ultrix. It can generate JSON, XML, etc."
"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."
"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."
"You do not have to install it, just dump it on the OS, then use it."
"I have a lot of flexibility with it."
"Using execution plan, I am able to do lots of query tuning."
"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."
"The most valuable features of Oracle SQL Developer that I use. However, I do not use all of them"
"One of the most important things to improve is the consumption of resources, mainly memory."
"Sometimes, plugins (from third parties) are not updated."
"There is room for improvement in the Real Time SQL Monitoring."
"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."
"Oracle SQL Developer could improve the speed, it is a bit slow."
"If they had something on the Web then you wouldn't need to install it, just query, like Enterprise Manager."
"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."
"It would be nice to have the ability to access DBs than Oracle."
"The initial setup is always a problem, it cannot find the Java SDK."
"There are occasional runtime issues that are easily worked around, especially on a Windows deployment."
