Overall Satisfaction with Toad for Oracle

Toad for Oracle is used to manage databases in our organization. Huge data generated in the oil and gas industry needs to be managed to make business decisions and managing such huge data needs an application which is able to handle such data. SQL builder helps to build queries which are used to extract data out of oracle databases. It is used across the organization so that everyone has the same data rather than having local databases in their system.
  • Manages huge volume of data and provides a platform to run queries. Not very expensive.
  • The SQL builder really helps those who are new to SQL. Very well integrated with other applications.
  • Very intuitive and user-friendly with lot of features and functionalities.
  • A Python platform to write scripts which can be used to extract and manage data would be really helpful.
  • Needs to be linked to more applications to import data such as SharePoint.
  • Reduced cost is like icing on the cake.
  • Positive impact as it helps to manage huge volume of data that is generated.
  • Deriving value out of data is quite easy and helps to make data driven business decisions.
  • Investment is very less on the licensing as compared to returns.
Microsoft Access has a disadvantage of local databases. Everyone has their different databases which becomes a real problem for the decisions. Toad plays an important role by making sure everyone is on the same page.
While managing data one of the tasks is to work on a particular filtered data. In that case "views" play an important role. One can play with the the data on a particular dataset without disturbing the original data. Also it is very important to make sure everyone uses the same data in such a large organization which is updated to avoid any discrepancies.
