We performed a comparison between Nutanix Database Service and Toad for Oracle based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It has wizards that are very helpful in the installation, and it handles automation as well as virtualization once deployed."
"The most valuable feature is its robust infrastructure management tools."
"The Time Machine is the most valuable feature for us. Using it means that we don't have to take regular snapshots, yet we are still able to restore the database quickly in the event of a problem."
"One feature that is very good is the backup and validation process that's built into Era."
"We have an enterprise-level backup product that we're required to use, so we don't rely on Era's version. [But] it could be an awesome first-line backup. It's very elegant the way they designed it. It's quick and it doesn't take up nearly as much storage space as traditional backups. It would definitely help to save on tier-one storage."
"It saves operation time and day-to-day tasks."
"The most valuable feature of Nutanix Database Service is the ability to manage multiple vendors."
"We use the solution to save costs and simplify operations."
"A quite simple feature that I have not encountered elsewhere is the "Make Code" feature. I can easily export a complex SQL statement to a programming language. This is a great timesaver as I do not have to type in all of the escape/concatenation characters just to create a SQL statement in C# or C++."
"It is very easy to manage all of the objects."
"Toad has a lot of features that are very useful, fast, and well developed."
"The schema browser is the most valuable feature. The way it presents the objects in our database."
"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."
"Toad for Oracle has proven to be better than other tools since we have never experienced any crashes."
"Oracle has advanced query optimization and tuning features that help improve the performance of SQL queries."
"The most valuable feature of Toad for Oracle is the fashion browser and the Schema browser. It is very complete."
"The graphical user interfaces could be much more user-friendly. They are already user-friendly, but they could be simpler so that we do not need L3 staff to handle them. If they were simpler, we could also have some command center or L1/L1.5 associates do some housekeeping activities on it."
"The solution should provide more integration with more databases."
"The patching should be a one-button function. Also, it works about 80 percent of the time, but 20 percent of the time it requires manual intervention. And sometimes, until you understand the technical underpinnings of that process, you can't fix it. I thought we would move past that. In the last version, they broke a big chunk of that for me, and that's why I'm waiting for the new release because they promised me it would fix the problem."
"The solution could improve by providing more support for more vendors."
"I would like to see the SQL compatibility enhanced."
"This solution could be improved by integrating with more database providers."
"If there were data integration services included with the platform then it would be interesting, and it would help us a lot."
"Patch management is an issue as it regularly causes stability problems."
"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."
"Toad for Oracle could improve code completion, it is very slow."
"I'd like reporting to be more available. If it was a feature that was already installed, more people would take advantage of it."
"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."
"I would like to see an improvement in the performance because opening the browser and the editor should be faster."
"Toad for Oracle does not have a particular resolution within the application."
"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."
