  • Licensing. We had to purchase a couple of copies for two machines. I am not sure if anything can be done about that.
  • Vender Expos. Have not heard of them being at any national conferences.
I would certainly recommend it in conjunction with our student information system, PowerSchool. Since our student information system does not allow updates from an ODBC connect, there is no way of doing a mass update to data incorrectly. Being able to see the table and easily do joins has made me more efficient when writing sql statements.

Toad Data point is a great product for joining datasets from all over the place. We constantly need to have the ability to bring together data from analytics, government organizations and internal data. This was previously a very cumbersome process having to use a ton of excel and access datasets. With Toad Data Point we immediately are able to join data and cleanse it right away.
  • Joins data from across Oracle, Access, Google Analytics
  • Can pull from Sharepoint lists data
  • The ability to cleanse data and transform easily
  • The user interface is very easy to use for not so technical users
  • The connections can be a bit slow to setup
  • More functionality could be added to the process that can easily be transformed or cleansed
  • Continue to add more data sources
An example of how we use Toad Data point is we have to connect data from external datasets outside of our company for government agents, access databases that we have built over the years, sharepoint lists and our core company data within an Oracle database. We previously had to do a very cumbersome process of exports to excel and try and pivot data. Now we can do it extremely quickly.

I cannot say a bad thing about this product, it has been a lifesaver for our teams multiple times. Before this product we would have had to spend hours trying to consolidate all the datasets from various areas into one area (usually ended up being Access unfortunately). I wish we would have purchased this product much earlier.

  • To make it even more intuitive adding intellisense would be nice.
  • A data presentation dash would be a nice touch to customize data.
In our case, it is well suited for preparing data for management and also to compare the data between our escrow department and our real estate side. Comparing the two sides makes it easy to see patterns of agent behavior. We also use it to cross check both sides to make sure the dates in both applications match.

My team (IT Reporting & Analytics) is the only group within our organization that uses Toad Data Point.

We use this product to analyze and track issues within our analytics environment. When needed we use it to develop and manage functions/procedures and packages to enhance the analytics functionality of our environment

  • We use Toad Data Point to analyze data structure and the quality of data within our analytics environment.
  • It allows us to review, create, and modify programs within the Oracle database
  • I find the explain plans that can be generating difficult to use, and should provide better suggestions as to how to improve performance

We receive calls from our functional areas complaining about inaccurate data. Toad makes it easy to track the data's progress from our ERP to the Analytics environment. This allows us to determine quickly were the problem lies and the ability to correct mistakes.

Toad Data point is not well suited for less technical users.

Review: "Toad Data Point - a useful tool for analysis/reporting/data prep across many types of Data Stores"

Dan Hotka

I see people using Toad Dat Point as a collaborative way of accessing data and then sharing it with others. The Toad suite of tools includes many things but it's the Intelligence Central that easily allows teams to share data, be alerted when data is ready, automatically run workflows and email out results, and more. I find in today's world, with important data in spread sheets and across various database environments, that a tool like Toad Data Point is essential for accessing and producing data/reports/Excel spreadsheets from a large variety of data stores including Office products.
  • Accesses and extracts data from 20 or more different data stores.
  • Can include data selection even from data stored in Excel spreadsheets.
  • Can automate a flow of tasks (some call it workflows) to provide an easy and automated solution, freeing the analyst from these types of data processing.
  • Analysts don't need to know the SQL query language at all. Toad Data Point has a comprehensive Query Builder that allows for the selection from a large variety of data stores to be included in a single output data request.
  • The data cleansing ability is top-notch. The analyst can 'fix' data at the data extract time. Of course, filtering (data selection) is an integral part of Toad Data Point...in both locating data to include as well as the data from each data store being included.
  • Data presentation. There really isn't a dashboard technology...Toad Data Point makes it very easy to request data and putting the data in a format for other tools...such as presentation software designed to build dashboards.
  • Again...data presentation...Toad Data Point is more of a data prep/data analysis tool than a mobile app.
I have not worked with another tool that covers so many different data stores so easily. I find the Query Builder and the data scrubbing abilities just top-notch and something the analyst needs. Toad Data Point is very good at working with Excel...can output directly to Excel, to a page in an existing spreadsheet (ie: refresh the data), to pivot tables, and can even set up Excel with the SQL behind the scenes so all you have to do is refresh the spreadsheet and Excel will pull the data! If your analysts use the SQL language, Toad Data Point has an extensive SQL editor, customized to the database environment the focus is pointing to...that includes templates, code snippets, SQL history, and more. This editor comes from the very popular Toad database access/development tool with a rich history in the IT world.

Review: "Toad Data Point - great for SQL queries and data export automation"

Toad Data Point is used by one department to provide automated reports for multiple groups within Supply Chain. It is used to automate repetitive tasks that analysts would typically do manually such as exporting and manipulating data in Excel.
  • Toad is particularly good for writing SQL queries because of the drag and drop features that automatically create scripts as well as the intellisense feature for including specific columns in queries.
  • Toad has a simple yet powerful automation script interface which makes it very easy to automate execution of queries and exporting of data.
  • Toad has numerous data connection wizards, and it is very easy to connect to any data source.
  • Toad boasts a cross connection query wizard, but queries have always run very slowly for me, and I do not use this feature after I initially tried it out.
  • Toad sometimes crashes unexpectedly when I disconnect from data sources.
  • Occasionally the intellisense feature hangs and doesn't return the column list when coding SQL. Also, the filters on the query results hang with larger result sets and then never pop up.
Toad is well suited for creating ad hoc queries and exporting data to Excel. It is also good for analyzing tables in preparation for creating ETLs, creating and altering views and stored procedures quickly. It is less appropriate with complex ETL processes because it runs very slowly and cannot process multiple data flow simultaneously.
