We performed a comparison between Oracle Enterprise Manager 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."The 13cR2 updates to the OEM family, strongly integrate Cloud (off-site, hybrid and on-premise) services providing a seamless way to see all of your resources regardless of where they are deployed."
"It's easy to implement as it's made by Oracle for Oracle."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"I like that it's stable."
"We use it extensively for performance tuning testing, monitoring, and configuration."
"The most valuable feature of Toad for Oracle is the fashion browser and the Schema browser. It is very complete."
"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++."
"I haven't seen any issues with scalability. We have about 1000 people on our IT team who use the solution."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"Technical support could be faster."
"In my opinion, rather than a younger DBA, think the user interface could be improved."
"I would like to see better pricing."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"Better mobile access would be useful."
"Reporting and statistical charting is largely still left up the end-user to develop custom solutions."
"Improvement wise, for the user it should show the minimum features on the screen and not all the features. Toad has a lot of features, but most users will use only 5 or 10 based on their role. Nobody needs all the features, and they should provide the option to choose only the required features. Only minimum requirements should be enabled by default. When all the features are shown, the performance is not good; it loads slowly and has hundreds of popups and unnecessary questions."
"Once in a while, I may encounter a memory exception and have to abort the application. On a few occasions, the file that stores the saved connections for the New Connection window will become corrupt and I will lose all of my saved connections. I am not sure if that is a Windows or TOAD issue, but it has happened to all of my developers at some point or another."
"Toad for Oracle could improve code completion, it is very slow."
