Find out what your peers are saying about GitHub, Amazon Web Services (AWS), JetBrains and others in IDE."The newer version has a lot of new features. It generates output and scripts for your Ultrix. It can generate JSON, XML, etc."
"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."
"Ability to analyze performance, using Explain Plan statement."
"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"
"It allows us to implement a form of test driven development (TDD) for database-resident code."
"Using execution plan, I am able to do lots of query tuning."
"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."
"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."
"I would like it to support background processes better."
"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."
"It would be nice to have the ability to access DBs than Oracle."
"The competing products have more features."
"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 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."
"If they had something on the Web then you wouldn't need to install it, just query, like Enterprise Manager."
"There is room for improvement in the Real Time SQL Monitoring."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
"What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup."
