Automated data collection has replaced manual emails and now connects business forms to back-end reports
Prophecy can be improved, as right now the form is very limited. We have to do a lot of manual entry with the form to get it set up. We have a lot of things that change year over year, so I have to go in there and manually play around with it, manually changing this and that. Having dynamic forms, having the forms connect to back-end data, and basically making the forms more streamlined would be my need from Prophecy. Everything else on the back end, the pipelines, and those types of things have been pretty easy to understand. I think once you get things set up, I've been very impressed with it. The only improvement at least for my side would be the form.

Drag-and-drop workflows have accelerated cross-database analysis and simplified daily reporting
I consider user interface modernization in Toad Data Point to be an area for improvement; it could be enhanced with a more modern, web-based look and smoother navigation, focusing on better UX and dashboard customization. Real-time collaboration could benefit from trying Git-style integration, which would strengthen team collaboration features. Performance with large data sets sometimes slows down our workflows, so implementing a better optimization engine specifically for big data workflows could enhance functionality, along with improvements in cloud-native deployment for better browser access. For the dashboarding feature, I believe Toad Data Point could improve by offering more interactive dashboards and advanced visualizations beyond the current basic charts and pivots. Implementing capabilities such as drill-down, interactive filters, and dynamic parameter selections would align more with BI-style interactivity. Visualizations compared to tools such as Microsoft Power BI or Tableau are quite limited, so enhancing this area with cloud-hosted interactive dashboards and seamless auto-refresh options would greatly improve user experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The form feature of Prophecy is so valuable for our team because it saves us a lot of time."
"Prophecy has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to offer it as an ETL layer for our incentive management application, which has improved our story and demos to customers during the sales cycle."
"Prophecy has positively impacted my organization by greatly speeding up development time and providing capabilities of using DBT alongside functionalities associated with that, making it a very good tool to avoid coding much and utilize AI with the graphical tools available without needing to code."
"I would estimate that Toad Data Point saves me about 30 to 70 percent of my time depending on the work type."
"There is a clear return on investment because there is a significant amount of time saved and productivity gained, with roughly 30% to 50% of the time being reduced in solving production tickets heavily dependent on ad-hoc queries and accessing data from multiple sources."
"With Toad Data Point, I can automate most steps automatically."
"Toad Data Point plays a crucial role in data-driven decision-making processes by facilitating data access and retrieval operations, data analysis, validations, quality checks, and performance monitoring for scenarios such as slow running queries, high database loads, or system bottlenecks, which are valuable for troubleshooting and debugging."
"Toad Data Point is a well rounded solution for professionals who work with databases and data on a regular basis."
"You can say it is a one-stop shop for anything that you have to do with a database or SQL."
"It provides better SQL development tooling than SQL Developer, which is not a sufficient tool for all development use cases. It offers power developers the tools they need."
"One of the greatest features is that you can get data from anywhere to anywhere with Toad Data Point."
 

Cons

"Prophecy can be improved, as right now the form is very limited."
"Prophecy is generally stable, although it does have a few issues at times, such as the Fabric connection randomly dropping and the environment freezing occasionally."
"Prophecy is pretty stable, but there are often some unexpected issues that arise, especially performance issues or problems with Airflow on deployments."
"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction."
"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."
"What could be improved is probably the user interface."
"Visualizations compared to tools such as Microsoft Power BI or Tableau are quite limited, so enhancing this area with cloud-hosted interactive dashboards and seamless auto-refresh options would greatly improve user experience."
"When we compare a very large data set, say when the data set runs in millions, the Toad crashes sometimes."
"If I had one suggestion for improvement, it would be to modernize the user interface and further improve performance when working with very large datasets."
"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."
"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."
