A scalable and stable product that is easy to deploy and provides excellent features
The Oracle side of things was very popular. The admin features for Oracle were great. It would be a really good thing if we had a similar functionality to SQL Server. The product is not too bad with maintenance. MySQL would be better than Toad. I always recommend the product to others. Overall, I rate the solution a nine out of ten.

"Auto-complete is the best feature of the solution."
"The feature I really like is the graphical part, especially the control of the relationships."

"The product should provide better debugging features."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
"What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"The solution is free."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"It's expensive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"The product is very expensive."
"As far as I know, you do not pay for Oracle Enterprise Manager separately. You can use Enterprise Manager for free if you already have an Oracle license for your database."
"The license is good but can be improved."
"Price-wise, the lesser it is, the better it is for me, especially in Egypt. I think that the licensing cost ranges from 1,000 to 9,000. Also, it includes maintenance and support for a year."
"Though I'm not involved in the licensing for Toad Data Modeler, I believe it's per user and not cheap."
