Chose Toad Data Point
TOAD excels at connecting to divergent data sources, but appears geared more to DBAs than to regular query users. Microsoft's offerings excel against Microsoft SQL Server, but sometimes struggle with other data sources.
However, SSMS and vs code excel at many developer …

Both of these tools offer data extraction and even include SQL components. I noted earlier that RStudio is useful for statistical modeling and data visualization in ways Toad Data Point cannot do. Microsoft Access also has a useful query building window that Toad Data Point is …

Chose Toad Data Point
I find Toad Data Point easy to use and easy to format and extract data to Excel. The Workbook (new interface) is closely tied to email. Intelligence Central is also closely tied to email. I find this tool essential if your data is stored in different database types or some …

Although Toad and UltraEdit are both great products, from an SQL standpoint Toad is a much better editor and troubleshooter.

Toad give me more flexibility. Being able to utilize FTP to send data and receive files from external systems is wonderful. Using the automation tool to run different database, file, and system activities has made my day-to-day functions easy. Being able to schedule tasks …

Chose Toad Data Point
We have tried to use Tableau to try and accomplish a similar set of goals as we do with Toad Data Point. Toad is much more efficient once we have the data connections setup. We are able to easily drag and drop data sources. There are some advantages with Tableau but overall …

I have not used another tool that allows for these seamless connections so it is unfair to rate Tableau and Hyperion against this becuase they have different uses. But if I had to compare, Tableau does not make it as easy to connect to multiple datasources and definitely has …

I like Toad Data Point being more designed to work with non Oracle databases

Appropriate for general querying and some DBA work. It's the universal least-offensive solution for most environments - not best of breed, but not subject to unusual/extensive requirements. It just works. On the other hand, some functionality (e.g. data import/export, snippets) are perfunctory and minimal and seem to be either difficult or impossible to automate. If you need to streamline those operations, you'll be forced to rely on third-party solutions that mostly work on top of (instead of with) TOAD.

The workflow is a relatively new feature. Quest is adding additional functionality and the workflows are useful now.
Would be nice if the 'Automate' feature was a bit easier to use.
Would be nice if some of the SQL Editor features in the traditional interface worked better in the new workflow interface (although, these are being fixed with each release).

I find Toad Data Point easy to use for both the novice and the experienced business analyst. If all you desire is to access data and create spreadsheets...this is a snap. Toad Data Point actually has cool data analysis features built into it. The newer workflow interface makes automating steps a snap

It is the least common denominator - not particularly optimized for our environment or workflows.
Hangs or slowdowns add anywhere from 5% - 7% for projects utilizing large/complicated data setts. (This could be due to other IT-imposed constraints and not entirely due to TOAD.)
Trying to perform some operations requires reading documentation and experimenting in order to figure out the TOAD-specific approaches and commands.
It just works (when we understand it). Updates don't break things and things don't suddenly start behaving differently. Best of all, we don't mysteriously lose functionality.
