"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources.""The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."

Cons
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time.""The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult.""I would like the stability to improve.""Pushdown optimization could be improved.""The product is not suitable for application integration.""The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue.""V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."

"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently.""On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."
