Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I have found the uptime of all of our systems to be most valuable with this solution. This is important because we need to guarantee specific uptime and preventive maintenance. We need to know upfront if there are going to be any issues on the database so we can proactively solve those."
"What I like most about Oracle Enterprise Manager are its features, particularly the active session history. It provides insights into SQL, and I use it regularly to identify potential issues."
"It can also help with capacity planning, sizing, and maximizing overall performance in a large scale environment."
"This solution allows us to quickly drill down when there are issues."
"Due to the infrastructure's size, the introduction they offer is very, very useful. It helps with an overall understanding of the product."
"The best part is the efficient database performance monitoring and the ability to take actions directly from there."
"I rate Oracle Enterprise Manager eight out of 10 for stability."
"The most valuable features are security and speed."
"I haven't seen any issues with scalability. We have about 1000 people on our IT team who use the solution."
"Toad for Oracle has proven to be better than other tools since we have never experienced any crashes."
"The most valuable feature of Toad for Oracle is the fashion browser and the Schema browser. It is very complete."
"The product's most valuable features are UI and monitoring."
"Toad has a lot of features that are very useful, fast, and well developed."
"The most valuable feature is the navigation within the UI, where you can right-click on an object in an SQL query and go right to it, versus going through all of the menus to find what you are looking for."
"Oracle has advanced query optimization and tuning features that help improve the performance of SQL queries."
"Simply the best GUI software for administration is the most valuable aspect for me."
"The deployment is not straightforward."
"Patching. It's extremely difficult to determine what requires patching and the process to patch each component is slightly different."
"We would like to have a single dashboard for monitoring and controlling all of our products."
"It is complicated to run it on Google Chrome."
"The tool's pricing is costly."
"The interface could be more friendly for basic users."
"The solution's agents work with Java, and the Java code sometimes consumes a lot of memory on the CPU."
"The solution has a very large resource system. It's too big. There are too many items."
"Once in a while, I may encounter a memory exception and have to abort the application. On a few occasions, the file that stores the saved connections for the New Connection window will become corrupt and I will lose all of my saved connections. I am not sure if that is a Windows or TOAD issue, but it has happened to all of my developers at some point or another."
"There may be an issue with processing limitations but this cannot be confirmed as a problem with the product or with the newest releases."
"Query optimization is still very resource-intensive."
"An area where the solution could use some improvement is in terms of user-friendliness. During the initial setup phase, the solution was not very intuitive when attempting to establish connections."
"It would be better if they had an online option allowing me to connect from anywhere on any device. Sometimes I face some errors, depending on the network and setup. It's not a big issue."
"Improvement wise, for the user it should show the minimum features on the screen and not all the features. Toad has a lot of features, but most users will use only 5 or 10 based on their role. Nobody needs all the features, and they should provide the option to choose only the required features. Only minimum requirements should be enabled by default. When all the features are shown, the performance is not good; it loads slowly and has hundreds of popups and unnecessary questions."
"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."
"I'd like reporting to be more available. If it was a feature that was already installed, more people would take advantage of it."
