Software Developer Senior Advisor Computer Software Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 3/25/2019 "Must have for PL/SQL development" 5/5 What do you like best about Toad Edge? Debugger first and foremost, schema browser, auto-fill in the SQL editor (type a schema name, auto-fill pops up tables, etc.), session monitor, navigation, overall design and usefulness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Toad Edge? Occasional crashes in the middle of debugging or queries, however these have become fewer and far between over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Toad Edge: for managing, developing, debugging, and generally working with multiple databases, I have found TOAD to be the best, in terms of most robust, and cleanest, easiest tool out there. 15+ years of PL/SQL development and TOAD is a must have for me. I primarily use for development and debugging, however -- it's sql editor is fast and easy to use for ad hoc queries, the Database management tools are more than adequate for a general user like me, for example, who uses the session browser to identify what's going on in the database when the application is executing. It's an all around great tool for anyone involved in oracle database development or administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Toad Edge solving and how is that benefiting you? PL/SQL code development and maintenance, Database administration tasks.

Similar user interface to work with multiple databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Toad Edge? No choice to pick local database. The local database is MySQL.

Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 12/12/2017 "Increase Productivity and Efficiency with Toad" 5/5 What do you like best about Toad Edge? I simply love the Toad database management tools for MSSQL and Oracle.

Recommendations to others considering Toad Edge: Give Toad a try and you won't regret it! The tools are easy to use and powerful compare to SSMS.

JT Jake T. Director of Development - Data Services Higher Education Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 1/11/2017 "The best (free) MySQL client/IDE" 5/5 What do you like best about Toad Edge? I tried a bunch of free clients for MySQL, looking for something that provided a tree-style sidebar of the database schema, autocompletion, syntax highlighting and code folding. Toad was, by far, the best of the free options--there's not a ton that it won't do (and do very well). The tree view makes it easy to see the structure of my database, etc, and editing/writing SQL is pretty straightforward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Toad Edge? My only real complaint with Toad is that it's slow to start up. In the grand scheme of things, that's pretty minor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
