I can integrate all elements of source control like GitHub, GitLab, etc. The tool also supports authentication-related provisions like SSH.""Its dashboards are most valuable. The drill-down of the dashboards is useful."

Cons
"Some customizations of the dashboard, such as having backup reports, would be useful.""The software does not support webhooks. It doesn't support advanced versions of APIs. The tool also doesn't support advanced versions of specifications. The change that we do in one part of the model is not reflected throughout the specification. There are also some mutations in the clones. I am not able to do a local source control with the product as well.""There's no reporting with this tool, and there really should be. They should add that into future releases."

More Quest Spotlight Cons →

"The product should provide better debugging features.""What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup.""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."
