Provides good stability and has an easy implementation process
It is a good tool for monitoring databases. It enhances the overall visibility within the database The older version of the product works with Flash technology. Although the latest version works with Java, it still requires Flash technology. It should utilize only a Java plugin to visualize your…
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"The most valuable features of Oracle Enterprise Manager are the data guide and online monitoring."
"It's a useful feature to be able to see the top SQL, the number of executions, the CPU, and the resources that it's using."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"The product gives us as much control as we can have by providing a complete picture of the whole set of Oracle products."
"With ASH Analytics, ADDM, Real-Time SQL Monitoring, SQL Tuning Advisor, we can measure SLAs, detect performance hotspots, perform deep diagnostics into specific tiers, tune applications, and remediate."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager has eased the responsibilities among our DBAs. We can now assign individual tasks to separate DBAs."
"Auto-complete is the best feature of the solution."
"The feature I really like is the graphical part, especially the control of the relationships."
"I found all features valuable and necessary in Toad Data Modeler, particularly how good the solution is for modeling, database schema generation, and database re-engineering. I also found Toad Data Modeler straightforward to use."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
 

Cons

"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"I would like to improve the cost."
"I would say mostly backup and recovery, through the Enterprise Manager. Or any corruptions, to be able to fix them through Enterprise Manager."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager's scalability is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"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."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are satisfied with the pricing."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"There is only the standard licensing fee. There are no other costs."
"There are a few bugs with the software which require opening SRs with Oracle Support which contribute to the day-to-day cost. Perhaps 8 hours per month is spent dealing with support, just as a rough guess."
"It's expensive."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"As with all Oracle products, care should be taken when using any features to ensure that they do not activate licensed features that have not been paid for."
"The product is very expensive."
"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."
