Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"It is easy to use. The addition of more queues and more services can be managed very easily."
"It works very well with large database queries."
"The product is not complex."
"Simple and straightforward admin portals: Made it easy for users and worked out excellently for our requirements"
"Very fast for query processing."
"The solution improved our site reliability."
"The solution has really cool features to use. Its management console is excellent. You can utilize plugins to view the performance of the whole service on one network."
"After creating a RabbitMQ service, they provide you with a sort of web management dashboard."
 

Cons

"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
"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."
"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."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"Implementing a circuit breaker scenario using RabbitMQ is complicated. This complexity arises because manual intervention is required to manage worker details and handle operations based on worker IP addresses."
"One of the disadvantages, not a disadvantage with the product itself, but overall, is the expertise in the marketplace. It's not easy to find a Greenplum administrator in the market, compared to other products such as Oracle."
"VMware RabbitMQ needs to create a new queue system."
"If you have a user consuming a huge load of resources, it takes down the entire system."
"Implementation takes a long time."
"If messages pile up until the space of the memory is full, then basically, the cluster goes down, and someone has to log in through the backend and purge all messages."
"Initial setup is a little complex. It took around two weeks to deploy."
"VMware Tanzu Greenplum needs improvement in the memory area and improved methods for quick access to the disc. So, one of the quick goals of Greenplum must work on enhancing access to the disc by adding hints in the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"The price is pretty good."
"are using the open-source version, which can be used free of cost."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"The pricing is okay."
"The product is available for free use since it is an open-source technology."
"We are using the open-source version of this solution."
