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.

Toad Data Point is the clear tool of choice if the end-user is interested in reports that are relatively simple to build using SQL code and export to Excel. It is less useful if the analyst also needs to run statistical models on the data and visualize the data for those functions I usually use RStudio or Jupyter Notebook which incorporates those features much more seamlessly.

This is the best data analysis tool I have seen. I have worked with several and this tool allows for data to be gathered from several different sources and then saved to Excel, in a number of different formats. The saving to Excel is strong. It remembers formatting/headings/data locations and even allows you to name the tabs. This functionality can be automated with either the new workflow or the traditional automation.

Where it is weak is when specific reporting needs are required. Although, the traditional interface has a full-featured report writer.

Most shops don't buy the Intelligence Central and they are really missing the boat when it comes to team collaboration and data preparation for specific reporting.

As far as working with Oracle databases Toad is a great tool and feature-rich as far as what can be accomplished with your data. Compatible with several platforms and an excellent tool for export data into Excel formats for additional editing or reporting. UI can be slightly overwhelming for those that are somewhat new to SQL queries and database work.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
