"Improved monitoring and performance management."
"It is very stable. We have had no issues."
"The most important features are batch reporting and the ability to create repositories, enabling automated analysis. These are valuable because they enable me to do automated analysis of trends over time and reduce the time for comparing performance between two periods to identify anomalies."
"It helps us to reduce hardware costs and to optimize processing times."
"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."
"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."
"Toad has a lot of features that are very useful, fast, and well developed."
"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 schema browser is the most valuable feature. The way it presents the objects in our database."
"Simply the best GUI software for administration is the most valuable aspect for me."
"All the information we need, we could use to have it in a more usable format."
"They need to provide a way to create and maintain performance repositories. The online tool is not perfect, but it is giving me what I need."
"Minor stability issues."
"Toad for Oracle does not have a particular resolution within the application."
"Once in a while, I may encounter a memory exception and have to abort the application. On a few occasions, the file that stores the saved connections for the New Connection window will become corrupt and I will lose all of my saved connections. I am not sure if that is a Windows or TOAD issue, but it has happened to all of my developers at some point or another."
"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."
"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 may be an issue with processing limitations but this cannot be confirmed as a problem with the product or with the newest releases."
"Query optimization is still very resource-intensive."
"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."
"Toad for Oracle could improve code completion, it is very slow."
