    Almost all development activities (the tool is called "SQL Developer", not "DBA Toolset") can be done easily and quick with [Oracle] SQL Developer. From data model creation (tables, views) to development (creation of procedures, functions, packages) and then testing (SQL Developer includes an easy to use debugger), all tasks can be performed in a single tool.
    It may not be as complete as other solutions for DBA tasks like instance monitoring, but it is usually OK for development and testing environments if you want to do some basic troubleshooting.

    With mission-critical SQL Server instances at multiple physical locations and in the cloud, it's critical for us to know immediately when there are performance issues or outages. The Redgate SQL Monitor provides an intuitive dashboard that allows for detailed resource monitoring. Perhaps not as useful in a 100% managed SQL environment.

    Pros
    Oracle
    • Object Browser in SQL Developer allows you to explore the contents of your database using the connection tree.
    • The SQL Worksheet is an editor that allows for execution of SQL statements, scripts, and PL/SQL anonymous blocks. SELECT statements can be executed to return results in a spreadsheet-like 'grid' or can be executed as a script such to emulate SQL*Plus behavior and output
    • DBA Console allows users with administrative privileges to access DBA features such as database init file configuration, RMAN backup, storage, etc.

    Cons
    Oracle
    • Inability to run multiple queries on the same database. You can only run one query on a given database.
    • Analytical models created from complex tables isn't accurate, and needs work.
    • Inability to view multiple tables of a database side-by-side. When trying to find correlations between tables, it would help to be able to see them at once on the same page.

    • Openness - They are too attached to their Intellectual Property to the detriment of usability, stability and reliability. So once its is installed and working leave it alone. Best run it on a VM as that can be restored quickly for when it breaks.
    • If they exposed an API/SDK that allowed you to leaver their products life would be far sweeter, it would feel less of a battle.
    • Add WebHooks to SQL Monitor to enhance integration to other subsystems.
    • Make it easy to install in default mode. So you are not forced to use TomCat Use as ASP.Core Selfl Hosting options.

    In general, the Redgate dashboard is one of the most thorough yet intuitive products I've had the pleasure of using. Compared to other vendors in different verticals, the Redgate dashboard's deployment, configuration, monitoring, and reporting is second to none

    I have started to use Toad for Oracle recently because it is easier to sort and filter results, due to their memory sort feature that puts the results from your query in memory so that you don't have to rerun your query. I have used SQL Developer to easily update records in tables that I need to fix. I haven't found an easy way to do this in Toad other than writing SQL insert statements.

    I personally prefer SQL Sentry due to the flexibility in the custom metrics/monitoring but this is still a great product!!
