JamesBlack - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

"The feature I really like is the graphical part, especially the control of the relationships."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
 

Cons

"Better mobile access would be useful."
"We could use it but definitely with some effort we can streamline much better and sometimes some box here and there, like 13C you have to really wait, but there are great features. Just have to make sure it is a stable product."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"The fact that Oracle Enterprise Manager is an expensive solution is a matter of concern and needs to be considered for improvement."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"The interface offered by Oracle Enterprise Manager has certain shortcomings and needs improvement to become a nice tool."
"What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup."
"When updating a model after generating a schema, if only a few tables are imported, the tool assumes you want to delete the rest, which is cumbersome."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Though I'm not involved in the licensing for Toad Data Modeler, I believe it's per user and not cheap."
