Cloud Security Engineer at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

Provides secure access for remote teams but could benefit from continued support and development

Some of the best features with AWS Cloud9 are that it is a cloud-based DE, so you do not have to have an IDE locally or set up the IDE every time when using different computers. It is just there. It exists in the same VPC, or you can put it in the same VPC as your other resources. The integration with AWS services in AWS Cloud9 has made the development process more secure because you transition from having one jump box that everyone uses to everyone having their own individual jump boxes. It is advantageous to have something that is in the same VPC as your other resources that you can use as a jump box.

Improved efficiency and access control enhance data management while room for improvement exists in query debugging and user interface

Oracle SQL Developer has disadvantages, such as the inability to execute or debug a query in a stored procedure, which is something we had in TOAD, a licensed tool with a richer feature set. So, we're dealing with the limitations of Oracle SQL Developer. Other than the debugging feature, I wish Oracle SQL Developer had better connectivity similar to TOAD, where we could simply input the DNS name without repeatedly entering passwords. Although there is a save option in Oracle SQL Developer, TOAD had a more developer-friendly interface, which I miss. The debugging functionality was much more convenient and smooth in TOAD compared to Oracle SQL Developer. I find Oracle SQL Developer less interactive and less developer-friendly, particularly when it comes to debugging, which was easier in TOAD.
