Toad Data Modeler vs Toad for Oracle comparison

"Auto-complete is the best feature of the solution."

"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."

"I find Toad easy to use and I love the Workspace feature, which allows me to set up projects so that I can open SQL files applicable to what I am working on at any particular time."

"The most valuable feature of Toad for Oracle is the fashion browser and the Schema browser. It is very complete."

"Toad for Oracle has proven to be better than other tools since we have never experienced any crashes."

"The tool evaluates non-optimized queries and generates the queries in a way that is more optimal - in addition to giving us some good practices for code development."

"I like that it's very flexible and helpful in query accuracy, analysis, and data visualization. I also like the move facilities available in Toad for Oracle. Overall, I think it's a fantastic product for analyzing SQL queries and managing all kinds of queries."

"The product's most valuable features are UI and monitoring."

"Simply the best GUI software for administration is the most valuable aspect for me."

"The best product for working with Oracle databases for support, checking and loading data."

"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."

"What could be improved in Toad Data Modeler is stability and the complex setup."

"The product should provide better debugging features."

"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."

"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The way the dialog boxes appear can be improved."

"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."

"Query optimization is still very resource-intensive."

"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."

"I would rate it six, where one is a low price, and ten is a high price."

"My advice is to try to use the three-year maintenance agreement if possible."

"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."

"In my opinion, this solution is a little expensive, but I understand that good programs cost more money."

"There are paid and free-for-use versions of the product."

"The professional edition is about $1,000 AUD ($700 USD) and the developer version is about twice that much."

"Toad for Oracle has a relatively high cost compared to other similar tools."

"The pricing is okay, it's reasonable."
