A great tool to easily manipulate and export data in various formats.

Multiple data source connection. It easily connects to multiple data sources which allows you to use different data sources to run reports.
Seamless application. Once you set everything up-- whether it is an FTP or export of data-- you can set it and forget it!,Training. I think they should offer some basic training, which is all that was needed.

When you connect to a lot of different data sets the data can be a little unclean. The cleansing tool within Toad allows for you to sync up to layout of data pretty quickly
The trending feature on the datasets that you pull is pretty useful, it basically shows how much variation their is in the column that you are looking at. For example if all the data is has the same value or every row is different (street addresses ).,In the past I have had some issues with the connections to some sources like google analytics. Toad can continue to build its connection tools
Sometimes the transformation and cleansing tool could be better utilized if they had a few more capabilities

Our escrow company uses software to produce the escrows while on the real estate side of the house we use a Transaction Management Software to flow listings and transactions. We use TDP in several ways. The first way is to produce numerous reports for the owner regarding the escrow department. Some of those reports include weekly opening, closing and canceling of escrows and the number and dollars behind those. Along with the average closing time of escrows compared to previous years passed based on escrow officer along with real estate agent. On the real estate side of the house, we use the TMS companies API to pull data into our database and then use TDP to create reports on the agent's transactions and listings. Some of the reports look at the number of listings the agent takes compared to the number closed both in number and dollars, this information helps us develop classes for agents which are having problems getting listings but not being able to sell. Another report that is run once a month is agent production.,When I am not in the office, I can have someone that has used it only a hand full of times jump in and produce a great looking report by using the interface which is nice looking and intuitive. This strength of TDP is ideal for those reports that have to get out ASAP and an SMA is not available.
The ER Diagrammer helps in building those relationships in a hurry if you're doing some business analysts. You can't get this feature for the price.
I use the explain plan when I can't figure out why a query is not returning the results I think it should. It is a powerful tool and it's easy to see the problems with the representation.,At times the tool does seem a little slow some speed tweaks would be welcome.
