Cannot display result records vertically, which allows the fields to be sorted, as in SQL Navigator
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Mostly ad hoc queries, extracting data for Finance, Purchasing, MFG, etc. and sending to Excel; have a daily task scheduled

As a DBA, I can't live without Toad
What do you like best about the product?
Great interface, lots of tools, (space management, performance and tuning) monitor. Can manage our Oracle environment easily and effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
How about an interface to the Spotlight Tools from Toad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Used to manage our Oracle environment and tune queries. If we are running low on tablespace we use Toad to increase the table space. As a DBA, TOAD is an indispensable tool.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
TOAD is our preferred DBA management Tool for Oracle databases. We also use Toad Data Point for managing non-Oracle environments.
Great Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to run multiple sessions at a time
What do you dislike about the product?
Tons of filters and features that I am not sure what they are or do. It would be great if you hovered over the icons and they gave a brief description.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data inquiries. Allows me to do see trends and verify anomalies in the data I am working with a lot faster.
Developer
What do you like best about the product?
User interface is more intuitive than other products I've sued.
What do you dislike about the product?
More advanced interface requires additional steps for some db access
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows access to multiple data sources in one interface, versus having to use multiple products or multiple windows/instances
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you require a more robust interface, versus Oracle PL/SQL Developer, Toad is good.
Fantastic SQL IDE
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to use one tool to connect to all of our databases, and cross-join that data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The performance of the tool sometimes leaves much to be desired. i.e. large datasets cause the tool to hang occasionally
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A single, multi-database SQL IDE was what we were looking for and it is what we got.
Review of Toad software- Great Use
What do you like best about the product?
I like the UI the best, I feel that it is complex but I understood how to use the software upon first uses. I used Toad for a short period of time.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any dislikes yet because I have not extensively used this software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Benefits are extensive. Our entire team uses Toad and it is an easy and collaborative tool, especially on complex projects. I am no longer a user but did need it for one project.
Somewhat difficult as a very new user, however, after a few days it was extremely easy and intuitive
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to quickly retrieve data, multiple data sets as I refine what I need, and them export to excel for my company reports and analysis.
What do you dislike about the product?
Could definitely use more beginner examples of how to use basic SQL and then how toad allows you do the same steps easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Currently use for data analysis of production runs at our steel mill.
