It is a good tool for monitoring databases. It enhances the overall visibility within the database The older version of the product works with Flash technology. Although the latest version works with Java, it still requires Flash technology. It should utilize only a Java plugin to visualize your…

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

"I think the look and feel and the accessibility to the databases, the scale of environment support."
"It's user friendly."
"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 a scalable solution. So far, my company has not faced any issues with the scalability part of the solution."
"It is a stable solution...The initial setup of Oracle Enterprise Manager was straightforward."
"We can manage everything in our environment."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is that it is a very user-friendly tool."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the ability to examine SQL code, track how many times it’s been parsed and used, and utilize this data for tuning."
"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."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"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

"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager six out of 10 for affordability. It's expensive."
"The product is pretty comprehensive, but quite resource hungry. This might be due to the majority of the application seemingly being written in Java."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"The product must improve its support team."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"The user interface is not very interactive. It needs improvement."
"I feel more dashboards can be added, especially those useful to higher levels of IT management."
"The platform's interface could be more streamlined. Currently, there are multiple ways to navigate to a specific point, which can be confusing."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"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."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive."
"Oracle Enterprise Manager is a free-of-cost solution. Oracle Enterprise Manager can be expensive only if you go for its licensing part."
"The pricing is very high."
"The product is highly-priced."
"The solution is free."
"The basic functions are free. You only pay license fees for advanced features."
"The product’s price is reasonable."
"Be careful to only enable the packs for which you have a license as this is an issue we see time and again."
"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."
