Find out what your peers are saying about Oracle, Quest Software, SolarWinds and others in Database Development and Management."You can have multiple scans archived when comparing the tracing from a baseline perspective. Two scans can give us insights concerning the difference between a good and a bad situation."
"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."
"Simply the best GUI software for administration is the most valuable aspect for me."
"It is very easy to manage all of the objects."
"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."
"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."
"Toad has a lot of features that are very useful, fast, and well developed."
"The best product for working with Oracle databases for support, checking and loading data."
"Toad for Oracle has proven to be better than other tools since we have never experienced any crashes."
"SQL Doctor should be improved in Availability Groups, mirroring, and clustering analyses. We mostly see index and query plan analyses. It should be broader than this."
"Toad for Oracle could improve code completion, it is very slow."
"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 should also be a better "cancel query" option as sometimes one cancels a query, but then it still might run for a long time, and then one has to crash Toad in order to cancel the query."
"Query optimization is still very resource-intensive."
"It would be better if they had an online option allowing me to connect from anywhere on any device. Sometimes I face some errors, depending on the network and setup. It's not a big issue."
"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."
"I'd like reporting to be more available. If it was a feature that was already installed, more people would take advantage of it."
