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."Monitoring is most valuable, and being able to know that there is an issue or problem and I need to go look is also valuable. So, monitoring and learning are the most important features."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer helped us locate the performance issues quickly."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the support for older databases and the ability to manage them in a centralized dashboard."
"The platform solves and prevents delays in receiving answers from databases."
"What I like most about SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer is that it's a powerful solution that lets me advise customers about performance, and it also gives a lot of supporting information."
"In IT, problems often occur in areas such as applications, web interfaces, or databases. The tool allows users to easily determine the root cause of these issues, whether they stem from the network layer, database layer, or elsewhere."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer's most valuable features include the notification of consuming the SQL queries, collecting data, and notifying about managing space and tables."
"It is very easy to manage all of the objects."
"The schema browser is the most valuable feature. The way it presents the objects in our database."
"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."
"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 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 most valuable feature of Toad for Oracle is the fashion browser and the Schema browser. It is very complete."
"I haven't seen any issues with scalability. We have about 1000 people on our IT team who use the solution."
"Oracle has advanced query optimization and tuning features that help improve the performance of SQL queries."
"The solution should add little details on the server so that an independent team could easily do the implementation."

"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should include more details on how everything works."
"There is room for improvement with the pricing of the platform."
"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer should be easy to implement and it should have more facilities to make it better."
"It is capable, but I don't believe it has the right value matrix. It also depends on the budget of the company."
"Technical support for this solution needs to be improved."
"One area where the tool could improve is by adding support for additional databases. For instance, supporting newer databases like Couchbase or MongoDB would be beneficial."
"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."
"I would like to see an improvement in the performance because opening the browser and the editor should be faster."
"I'd like reporting to be more available. If it was a feature that was already installed, more people would take advantage of it."
"Toad for Oracle could improve code completion, it is very slow."
"The way the dialog boxes appear can be improved."
"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."
"There may be an issue with processing limitations but this cannot be confirmed as a problem with the product or with the newest releases."
"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."
