We performed a comparison between Nutanix Database Service and Toad for Oracle based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The patching is the most valuable feature. We spent a lot of time and effort on the patching of our SQL instances after hours. With Nutanix Era, you can schedule and automate them during your normal operational hours (during the day). You schedule all the patching, then everything happens automatically with minor tickets from the engineer. So, our patching, which took four hours, went down to an hour for the engineer. This is much better for us from a return on investment perspective."
"AI has been deployed within Nutanix. It's very easy to provision the machine within minutes of the application orders. They can hand those over and work along with the AI team to get the data available quickly for business analysis."
"Overall, the solution is very good. It's easy to use and simple to handle many actions, such as VM cloning, testing, and prediction."
"It has some very good features. It really works with multiple silos in terms of infrastructure, database updates, and migration. So many things are easy with Era."
"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."
"It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"This is a very useful solution for database management."
"Oracle has advanced query optimization and tuning features that help improve the performance of SQL queries."
"I haven't seen any issues with scalability. We have about 1000 people on our IT team who use the solution."
"The schema browser is the most valuable feature. The way it presents the objects in our database."
"The product's most valuable features are UI and monitoring."
"I find Toad easy to use and I love the Workspace feature, which allows me to set up projects so that I can open SQL files applicable to what I am working on at any particular time."
"Simply the best GUI software for administration is the most valuable aspect for me."
"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."
"The most valuable feature is the navigation within the UI, where you can right-click on an object in an SQL query and go right to it, versus going through all of the menus to find what you are looking for."
"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"Their support is helpful, but maybe they need more technical staff. Their response was slow once, but that was the only time it happened, so I'm not sure."
"It should be able to be consumed by other customers because only the enterprise cloud customers are able to buy this software."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
"The solution needs to improve compatibility with other back-ups and products."
"It would be helpful if we could patch Windows operating systems with the solution."
"There may be an issue with processing limitations but this cannot be confirmed as a problem with the product or with the newest releases."
"I would like to see an improvement in the performance because opening the browser and the editor should be faster."
"The way the dialog boxes appear can be improved."
"Sometimes it works in some areas, but in others, it doesn't. Like when you copy, you find that it's blank and doesn't copy anything. So, there are some objects that do copy, and sometimes they don't."
"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."
"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."
"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."
