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.

I would rate the scalability of this solution as nine. If you're using Oracle as a database, you can easily add on the additional components for scalability. It's really scalable. You can go to the support server or the prepaid option without any issues. Around 10 to 20 users are using this solution. It is used daily in our organization. Database administrator and software developer are the key roles involved in using the software.

At our company, we use Toad for Oracle to test data integrity. Since our data primarily resides on database servers, we need a reliable and sturdy tool for the job. Toad for Oracle has proven to be better than other tools since we have never experienced any crashes. We have noticed that other tools, such as Microsoft SQL Server, can take a while to execute queries, sometimes up to five minutes. However, we have not encountered this issue with Toad for Oracle.

Valuable Features

"One of the most valuable features of Toad for Oracle is its ability to manage sessions by killing those that are hung or blocking other sessions."
"Simply the best GUI software for administration is the most valuable aspect for me."
"The product's most valuable features are UI and monitoring."

Room for Improvement

"It would be beneficial if Toad for Oracle could incorporate OEM features, as having monitoring capabilities in the same interface would simplify workload and management tasks."
"In future releases, the product can be more intuitive. It has to be lighter than what it is because sometimes it is not responding quickly. If I do some features at the same time, it's not supporting. I have to wait sometimes to get the action. It's dependent on the resources of the workstation, but it has to be improved in this area. The faster processing is needed."
"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."

Pricing

"The pricing is okay, it's reasonable."
"I would rate it six, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."
"The product's pricing is just right because if it were slightly higher, it would not have been as widely adopted as it currently is in our organization."
