The best tool that I have ever used in my career.

  • October 24, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the features that Toad for Oracle has been excellent and unmatched compared to others. Obviously, we shouldn't compare the freeware with Toad for Oracle. But the amount that we spend is well worth.
What do you dislike about the product?
I havent really come across any that I need to highlight.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Toad for oracle to connect to our oracle databases. It helps us retrieve data(of course) and BLOB, CLOB etc features and other small features it has.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
The software is definitely a great tool not just to retrieve the data but it has other add-on software which we use to automate processes using windows scheduler.

TOAD is a helpful database querying tool

  • August 07, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
As a novice SQL user, I like that TOAD includes features for exploring the data and building code. It is helpful as I become more familiar with SQL syntax and with my organization's data warehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it is hard to navigate between the visualize and build and explore and edit code menus. I feel like it can host many tabs which feel like layers that I can lose things in. It is also frustrating to have to re-establish the connection to the warehouse every time I log in, maybe this is standard with querying systems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Querying any type of data that I need that is up to date without relying on pre-built reports or extracts.Toad is an easy way to parse through large data sets to answer questions with the most up to date data available in the warehouse. In our industry, this is particularly helpful for claim and enrollment data.

If you have loads of data processing to do, extraction and uploading this is the way to go

  • April 18, 2019
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Ability to connect to many data sources. We connect to local and cloud databases and move information from one place to the other seamlessly. Scheduling works like a dream and is super reliable
What do you dislike about the product?
There are things that are not simple to figure out - for example, automation of complex excel reporting is not obvious
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ETL for our database related processes. We collect a massive amount of data from our data providers, the likes of Reuters, Markit, large housing associations and we process this data to add value. We also run an extensive operation involving valuations of complex derivatives that require a massive amount of data to be processed, saved and applied across different applications. Toad has made the development of these processes agile and easy to work with. One of my favourite features is the verbose logging which pinpoints where particular jobs have failed. We also use it as an alert tool which monitors the presence of expected data using preset tables. This aligns us with regulatory obligations that require us to have systems that check for the presence and accuracy of the data we work with.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
When you are working with an Oracle database (or any database that works with Toad) then buy Toad. Especially if your business heavily relies on the ability of systems to upload, transform or extract data - this is the place to be.
