After-sales from Quest for the company because when it comes to the renewal price, we are not able to negotiate with them. After you buy the license, it is to be renewed. It is not possible to negotiate the price during renewal, so they need to be more flexible.

The query and design could be improved. The product should provide better debugging features. It should also be easy to set up.

Although a lot of people get deceived by the name “Data Analysis”, it has capacity of any enterprise tool, but not to the point of creating multiple pipes in one integrated work-flow, batching the work-flows and running them parallel for data loads.

A platform to code in Python would be really helpful as Python is becoming very well integrated with other platforms.

What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup.

The reporting feature needs to be enhanced. They also need to enhance big data features in the next release.

The one thing about it is that there are almost too many features and options; some we don’t even use. It can be overwhelming at first, but once the initial learning curve is over, it is not bad.

For example, we don’t use the automation designer or the query builder.
Query builder is a graphical interface to build SQL (drag and drop), but once you have good skills at writing in the editor, it is much faster and you have more control than with the query builder.

Maybe it could be optimized by using less RAM memory. Also, this product may have stability issues.

Better documentation would be a benefit.

Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier. 

We sometimes have issues with multiple nested queries. They take a long time to run, and it would be nice to have them run faster.

I've not used a product that I could compare it with.

1. Toad crashes sometimes and it will lose all the saved database information
2. We cannot the execute SQL, offline easily (If you are creating a MV and if you shut down your laptop it won't create it)

Reverse engineering the physical schema is complex and can be made easier. Schema diagrams which depict relationship is clumsy when the schema is complex. Presenting the complex schema in Toad with clear relationship between tables, etc.

The IDE is slow and, now, very buggy, Autocomplete being especially bad.
