MR
Cloud Security Support at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
AI-driven queries have transformed how I discover hidden cloud assets and misconfigurations
One of the improvements that could be made to CloudQuery is the GUI. In the past, I had issues where I couldn't see all the information that would pop up at the bottom. That might be fixed by now, but I was experiencing issues with the GUI itself. CloudQuery's AI capabilities lack governance and security features. While the AI is great for helping me craft SQLs to find assets in the environment, it does not have real security features for blocking or similar tasks. I can set up SQLs for alerting, but I find that a bit limiting. For what it is, CloudQuery is great. The only improvement I could suggest would be to set up more alerting features, but overall it is great for what it is, and I would say it feels a little bit limiting.

Drag-and-drop workflows have accelerated cross-database analysis and simplified daily reporting
I consider user interface modernization in Toad Data Point to be an area for improvement; it could be enhanced with a more modern, web-based look and smoother navigation, focusing on better UX and dashboard customization. Real-time collaboration could benefit from trying Git-style integration, which would strengthen team collaboration features. Performance with large data sets sometimes slows down our workflows, so implementing a better optimization engine specifically for big data workflows could enhance functionality, along with improvements in cloud-native deployment for better browser access. For the dashboarding feature, I believe Toad Data Point could improve by offering more interactive dashboards and advanced visualizations beyond the current basic charts and pivots. Implementing capabilities such as drill-down, interactive filters, and dynamic parameter selections would align more with BI-style interactivity. Visualizations compared to tools such as Microsoft Power BI or Tableau are quite limited, so enhancing this area with cloud-hosted interactive dashboards and seamless auto-refresh options would greatly improve user experience.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The AI-generated SQL works well for my team as it gets things right most of the time."
"CloudQuery has positively impacted my organization because instead of navigating through multiple cloud consoles, I can run an SQL query and get, for example, all my S3 buckets that are public, private, or that I need to do something with."
"We love it."
"You can say it is a one-stop shop for anything that you have to do with a database or SQL."
"It provides better SQL development tooling than SQL Developer, which is not a sufficient tool for all development use cases. It offers power developers the tools they need."
"With Toad Data Point, I can automate most steps automatically."
"In my opinion, the best features that Toad Data Point offers are the security that it provides when connecting all sorts of databases, and moreover, we do not have to rely on multiple DB connectors for that; we can use Toad Data Point as a single source of connections for all DBs, and that serves the purpose of connecting all these DB flavors that we have in the industry on a single platform instead of installing multiple DBs and their UI."
"The best thing about it is its automation features."
"I would estimate that Toad Data Point saves me about 30 to 70 percent of my time depending on the work type."
"We had an unsupported version of Hyperion that needed to be replaced, and Toad Data Point allowed us to quickly transition to a similar solution and to easily convert all of our preexisting queries (more than 300) to the new solution with minimum effort."
 

Cons

"CloudQuery really acts as an asset inventory tool, which is great, but I find that somewhat limiting."
"Toad Data Point could be improved with a modern user interface, better performance on large data sets, and strong built-in dashboards for reporting."
"If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be to modernize the user interface and further improve performance when working with very large datasets."
"I rate it a seven because I have noticed that there are other similar platforms or applications available that do the job Toad Data Point does in a better way; for example, DBeaver is a similar application that works better at times."
"Visualizations compared to tools such as Microsoft Power BI or Tableau are quite limited, so enhancing this area with cloud-hosted interactive dashboards and seamless auto-refresh options would greatly improve user experience."
"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction."
"What could be improved is probably the user interface."
"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."
"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly."
