Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is high availability."
"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"I have found the singular GUI feature very helpful. Fewer DBA resources can be allocated with Toad licenses."
"I mostly use the top events, and look at how the execution is happening on the database; and monitoring the cluster level rates. I even look at the execution plan."
"It is the best monitoring tool for Oracle databases."
"SQL Tuning Advisor, ADDM, Top Activity, ASM Space Manager, Incident Notifications"
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"The dashboards are great for gathering analytic information and seeing where the problems are."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"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."
"Auto-complete is the best feature of the solution."
"The feature I really like is the graphical part, especially the control of the relationships."
 

Cons

"Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve the monitoring types and the graphics."
"Setting up the Oracle Enterprise Manager is challenging as it requires setting up a separate server."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"There's a lot of documentation to go through as a new user."
"Improving the integration speed would be beneficial, as the current Java-based system can sometimes result in slow responses."
"The areas where Oracle Enterprise Manager could improve include the dashboarding, which could be made more intuitive, and the drill-down reporting, which can and should be enhanced."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"We have encountered performance issues when the load is huge."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"The licensing is the responsibility of our customers."
"The solution is inexpensive to purchase."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"The pricing is very high."
"Initially, our deal was for three years, and we extended it to five years. Oracle solutions are very costly."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager’s pricing a five out of ten."
"The solution is free."
"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."
