Top Rated Toad Data Point Alternatives
The most helpful functionality of TOAD is the interoperability with other databases and systems. The fact that I can tie in and compare results across platforms, even those in cloud environments is priceless. Add to that the ability to automate data extracts, reports, tie in to email systems; and it becomes one of the most valuable tools in my portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would love the ability to deploy TOAD utilizing OneDrive or Google Drive, that no matter what computer I'm working on, I can access all of my machines and databases. I've tried multiple approaches but nothing seems to work in keeping Projects and code snippets together seamlessly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use. I like the multiple results tabs that can be given names. The ability to re-sort, or filter results on the fly, and the ability to add aggregates and groupings without re-querying is helpful . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
But $400 for a one-year subscription is too much for my small company for those niceties. SSMS is free and, while it doesn't have the same features, does the job. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the feature that the Toad Data Point can sort the result set. You don't need to modify the SQL and run it again just because you want to sort the result set in a different way. You can just click on the column name and you can choose how you want to sort the result ascent or decent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The performance of the SQL could be slow sometimes. As an analyst we often need to do a full table scan. I do not know what is behind the science, but just like most other software it runs for a long time when you do a full table scan on a large table. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
TOAD Data Point is a robust and intuitive tool that I depend on everyday to get my Oracle, SQL Server and Netezza development work and reporting done. Data Point handles different data sources and destinations with ease providing a consistent interface that (if configured properly) saves so much time e.g. SQL Recall and Code Snippets. I'm sure there are tons of features I'm not using yet, but feel confident that if a new task was needed that TOAD would have some way to accomplish it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Automation / Job Management. Nothing great and, unfortunately, likely to be used by someone who doesn't understand PROD level deploy and support so that a well intentioned noob will end up scheduling an Enterprise Level solution from their desktop. Terrible. Painful. I've seen this happen :( Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Simple to manage data retrieval and export with multiple servers. Group executing same query across servers at the same time also saves a lot time. SQL creation is intuitive in query builder. Creating and managing connections very simple. Easy exploration of data tables when needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some visual bugs with automation tools and Windows server OS. Can't group execute in an automated task, you have to loop through connections. Looping connections does work, but it is time consuming not intuitive to set up. This is in development que though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I can use my SQL Server connection alongside Excel .csv or any other file type. Being able to bring in multiple data points has allowed me to make my relationships between tables more efficient and my queries less time-consuming. The visualization tool is also super useful and user-friendly Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I do not like is that there are so many Toad programs offered that it was hard for me to know this was what I needed. I had tried Toad SQL Server and some other products before finding this one fulfilled all my needs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Toad Data Point is one of my most used software app in my daily work. It provides me the ability to access to different schemas in different databases such as EDW/Orcacle/Microsoft SQL Server. Besides, it provides a clear display which helps the users to navigate their needs such as how to locate the tables they need or the data format behind. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The thing I dislike the most is it is relatively to set the desired configuration. For example, I still couldn't change my background to black color(like the most of the programmers do) with visible font available. Even though I Googled so many time, I still couldn't find the right solution. I think the Toad users community could have done a better job! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use Toad Data Point to process large databases with millions of records for a company with more than 100K employees. TDP is quick and convenient tool to perform financial analysis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some pop-up message window should be customized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's a very robust, fully-featured product. Autocompletion of database objects is a huge timesaver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The pricing model. Previously, I was able to purchase a 1-year subscription for around $250. Now, that's now longer an option, and the Base version is over $700. For someone who really only utilized about 10% of the product features (which still allowed much more than free alternatives), this is a deal breaker. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like that Toad offers a variety of products with different levels of access. We can use one product for end users trying to get information not found in the front end product, while another provides access to DBA tools that separates our reliance on another group for simpler DBA tasks.

It's a little difficult to get going without instruction. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
