Overall Satisfaction with Toad for Oracle

Many platforms [designed] to manage a database are intended to simplify the management of databases. Although generally in large companies their DBA is responsible for supporting these issues, many companies still look positively on using these tools to control their operations’ databases. And not only in positions such as a DBA, but in positions where software development database management tools are mostly welcomed for the simplicity, ease of use and speed they offer in their work.

Of these existing tools for Oracle SQL - we find Toad as the most versatile among them in terms of simplicity, ease and speed alternative.

  • It is simple to use. If you are migrating languages ​​you'll find many similarities with respect to SQL Server Development Studio or MySQL Workbench.
  • Its performance is good. You will not be [waiting] long before you run a query or [have to] get used to long waits.
  • The learning curve is almost direct.
  • If you already use Oracle SQL Developer, you could expect some delays or a learning curve in finding all the options.
  • You need to get a license.
  • It can be somewhat heavy compared to tools among other areas.
  • [While you can] possess a greater knowledge of tools, you can reach more customers who agree with the culture of software you use.
  • The speed troubleshooter has high benefits for the company in general
  • Same with the ease of use of SQL. It accelerates development.
Code quality, application performance, code maintainability, team collaboration, and productivity are the pillars exposed by Toad against the other vendors. We encourage these points and we can attest to their usefulness.
If you need to rely on a tool [to build a database], Toad is recommended. Oracle SQL Developer is better for when you go to live [a]long with Oracle. According procurement policies software, Toad may not be the most advisable option because you must purchase a license.
