My advice for others looking into using Toad for Oracle is to download it. My company does not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer. Toad for Oracle is the only software that I have used consistently for the past 20 years. I rate this product a 9 out of 10.
Toad for Oracle is a great choice to make database administration stress-free. It aids in revealing errors in SQL queries and guides developers to optimize them. It also provides rollback features for accidental bulk updates and helps in auto-optimizing query performance, which is crucial for reducing response times. I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.

I want to tell others who plan to use the solution that it is a good solution if someone wants to start learning SQL queries since this is the solution with which I started. The only complex part is the solution's setup phase and establishing connections. However, once a person gets the hang of the solution, it becomes easier to use. Overall, I rate the solution an eight and a half out of ten.

I recommend that one should have basic query writing skills or experience with SQL. Otherwise, Toad for Oracle has the functionality, and you can see the tutorials provided for running the program. Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten. So far, I'm satisfied with all the features, some of which are very good. In terms of performance and other aspects, the application is good.

We're a partner of Oracle. I'm not sure which version of the solution we're using. We have used both the home version and the version available on the cloud. About four months ago, I stopped using Toad as I no longer have a license and therefore cannot access all of the features I need. I'd recommend the solution to others. I would rate the solution eight out of ten.
I would tell potential users that this is a very good product. I'm using it right now, and it's the best for me. On a scale from one to ten, I would give Toad for Oracle an eight.
If you're using the latest version, you should know how to migrate your existing scripts. You should do some research on how to copy your script or backup and look for store options, default options, and settings. You would need to find out how to automatically push whatever you have done in the old version to the new tool. You may need to do it manually. Otherwise, Toad will crash. The product is good, but it comes with a lot of default settings that you may not need and may slow you down. Because of this, I would rate Toad at nine on a scale from one to ten.
I have not used the SQL Server version a great deal, but I can say that when I used it with Oracle and comparing it to the Oracle Management Studio, Toad was by far the best. For Oracle developers, this solution is a must. I don't think it is such a big jump from the SQL Management Studio, but from the Oracle point of view, it's a brilliant piece of software that makes things so much easier. It includes triggers or exits with remote debugging, and you have execution plans, all of which are helpful. This is a very good product, but it is a little bit expensive. I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.
Toad is fast and very convenient. You just need to choose what you want to create, configure all the items and objects, then just generate the scripts, test and you can use the same script and create the objects in production. It is an easy tool to use. Toad is a tool to efficiently connect to and use the Oracle database. It gives you the power so you can query, develop the keys and you can execute them to store and retrieve the data. However, when you use a larger database, you may not end up with the only single database type. For example, you might have another system where you had big data or something so in that case, you are better off to choose some free database management system — a generic database system like Postgres or MySQL. Oracle is comparatively not cost-effective. It is the best, but having the best comes with a cost. So when you use Oracle as your database you know you are using a good product. If your system is more complicated, Toad may not be able to connect to all the databases available. We use DBeaver in that case which is fourth-generation and the fifth-generation database tool and allows you to connect to all kind of databases like MySQL, SQLserver, Postgres, or other tools. For our purposes, Toad is a single tool which helps you connect to Oracle. In our experience, sometimes a business is more interested in such kind of tool that they know by name and can trust. Toad is best obviously, they use it, but sometimes it is confused with a lot of different tools whose purpose is not the same. Most of the users who are using Toad have got a contract with Toad. For those who do not, it can be a hefty cost to move to Toad. Once they know that there is extra involved, then they will not have as much interest if what they are doing is not within its scope. You can use for Oracle only and has some higher-end limitations, but if someone is already extensively using Toad's database then they might face these kinds of costs. All that said, I would rate Toad a ten out of ten compared to other products with use for Oracle. We know what it is we can use it for and it is always the best product for the purpose. Until now, ur servers have always worked.
