Nice DB management Tool for Oracle
What do you like best about the product?
Although TOAD is used as DB Management tool for other DB's, my experience is more limited to Oracle.
* Best client in terms of IDE like features for e.g. auto completion, syntax highlighting etc.
* Easy to setup and create DB connections with good sidebar features.
* Easy file exporting options and formatting is very simple too.

The powerful functionality.It's a tool to connect different database to run query, turning query and develop DB SP, function. It keep update with main DB vendor version.
What do you dislike about the product?
The layout. Structure of the button and menu. The price is expensive considering there's some similar tools in the market with free of charge.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Toad review
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. Lot of options available and User interface is good
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot export pipe delimited file like in sal developer.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy to use to run queries
Nice If You Aren't Super SQL Savvy
What do you like best about the product?
I like that there are some analysis features within the tool. Once your query is run, you can use Toad to do some data analysis right on the spot. I find this pretty handy. The histogram tool, in particular, is a nice feature for Six Sigma projects. Also, not that this is a deal breaker by any means, but the fact that it makes a "ribbit" sound when it starts up is pretty entertaining. I don't mind my work tools having a little sense of humor.
What do you dislike about the product?
For the various wizards that exist within Toad, there is still a lot you have to be able to fill in manually. I had to know exactly what all of my connections were called and fill them all in by hand. The program did not recognize available connections without my input. Something else I don't love is that it kicks up errors during the autoconnect process pretty frequently for me. This may be a version issue, and not a tool issue, but there do seem to be more bugs in Toad than I have found in some other SQL programs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Toad to join different tables together to pull in large data sets for analysis. It runs pretty quickly, which is definitely a plus, and will flag you if something isn't written correctly so that you can fix it before it runs. Also, as I mentioned, the in-program data analysis tools are definitely handy. That way you don't have to export to Excel or some other program to create analysis charts if you're just trying to get a quick analysis done.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend having other SQL programs in addition to Toad. I go back and forth between Toad and Teradata, for example, depending on what I need.
A single client for all.
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to connect to pretty much every existing DBMS easily.
Features automated job.
Have reporting tools.
Autocomplete is great (when it works)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using many different DBMS and having a single client that can simultaneously connect to all of them saves a lot of time.
Being able to easily switch between schema is a plus compared to Oracle SQL Developer.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
A complete database client with full features that can connect to nearly all DBMS in the market.
Works fine for my purposes
What do you like best about the product?
It is the only SQL editor that I am allowed to use at work. It is simple to use and is lighter/quicker than the bulky SQL Server Management Studio I was used to previously.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I miss from SSMS is that I was able to run multiple queries at once and have each query show in a separate display window. That was helpful when analyzing issues. I have not found a way to do that in Toad.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
DB analysis
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Seems to be the preferred product for Oracle DBs. Go for it.
