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

"Auto-complete is the best feature of the solution."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"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."
"The solution is stable."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"The product is not complex."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"The most valuable feature is that it's really customizable."
"It's one of the fastest databases in the market. It's easy to use. From a maintenance perspective it's a good product. The segmentation, or architecture of the product is different than other databases such as Oracle. So even in 10 years, the data distribution for such segments will not affect other segments. The query performance of the product, for complex queries, is very good. It has good integration with Hadoop."
"The most valuable feature for me is that it is open source. The licensing costs are really low and they are transparent."
 

Cons

"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"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."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
"The initial setup is somewhat complex and the out-of-the-box configuration requires optimization."
"The next release should include some of the flexibility and features that Kafka offers."
"It will be very useful if we could communicate with other database types from Greenplum (using a database link)."
"Scalability issues are present. Most of our functions or jobs are queued due to that."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"They should add more analytics. Their documentation could also be improved so that I don't have to bother my co-workers and tech support so often."
"I saw some limitation with respect to the column store, and removing this would be an improvement."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
 

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."
"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."
"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."
"Pricing is good compared to other products. It's fine."
"It is an open-source platform. Although, we have to pay for additional features."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"The pricing is okay."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
"The price is pretty good."
