Price! It's overpriced, so firms I worrked at, refused to pay it Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In Toad, we can connect to any PROD & NON PROD databases. We can easily add space, datafiles to the particular tablespace. We can easily do any activity like updating or deleting anything on servers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It takes a lot of time for login. Whenever we open multiple sessions for different databases, then its performance is affected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can support multiple database types like IBM DB2, Oracle DB, Sybase, etc. Also loaded with so many features like schema change, and easy to switch to other DB and query and get data and export into various formats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Slower when querying legacy DB like Sybase Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It provides a wide range of options to perform on any database. From running a simple SQL query to the complex PL/SQL blocks. It provides a session browser to track the sessions which are active. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface is a little bit complex as at the top you see a lot of options and it becomes difficult to work on a screen with small size. So for using Toad I'll recommend a big screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It helps to connect to oracle databases as many as we required. It gives a proper view of a SQL query, unlike other DB tools which does not provide a view, toad helps in searching, substituting a field in where block and so on. It also helps in extracting of records in large numbers to XML files and other supported formats. The view and the time taken to execute helps us to improve the performances and it also shows the error as and when the format/syntax becomes incorrect, which helps us as software developers.

User experience can be improved as other types of databases such as PLSQL have their user interfaces maintained well. Importing data into tables is time consuming, I think it can also be improved. While in citrix, application connecting to database requires lot of study in order to connect via firewall and so on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have been using Toad for 2 years now and I am impressed with the options we have in this tool. It is an easy to use tool for running Oracle PL/SQL queries, procedures, view various schemas and underlying objects in your database, debug your scripts and so much more.

Sometimes it freezes very bad and takes a hell lot of time to recover. Might be just an issue for me given the storage issues on my machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It allowed me to add all my databases and instances for the Oracle estate to the TOAD interface for reliable and fast connectivity. I can do many tasks so much quicker than with the command line interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The cost for the licenses must be taken into the equation if you wish to roll-out to a large team etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
This, in my opinion, is the easiest tool to use for someone who needs database access and isn't primarily a database developer. Ease of use including the graphic interface can't be beat. No need to write SQL statements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It may have too many features for non-developers and hence the license costs. Organizations are reluctant to spend to equip the non-database developers with the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
