Toad Edge Reviews & Product Details

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.

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.

Similar user interface to work with multiple databases Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No choice to pick local database. The local database is MySQL. It would be good to get an option to use Oracle or PostgreSQL as the local database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using Toad, and it has everything necessary for a DBA, the administration is very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes I have had problems with the components that will be installed in the PC, depending on the version you install. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I simply love the Toad database management tools for MSSQL and Oracle. They made my tasks faster, easier and as a result, increase in efficiency and productivity! I came from SSMS and was reluctant to switch until my boss asked me to give Toad a try. I didn't look back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GUI interface could be better design and the application should not hog a lot of system resources especially on older machines. Currently I'm running Toad on my Windows Vista (still using it...) and I find it a bit laggy although overall, it is still performing as expected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I spend the VAST majority of my time in the Schema Browser and SQL Editor windows. I haven't tried *all* of them, but I haven't found a competing product that can come close! The SQL Editor does what you'd hope it would do in most every case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TOAD's price is out of the reach of smaller businesses users. I suggest selling a "basic edition" of TOAD for a reduced price ($250?). I'm willing to bet the number of additional licenses they would sell would be more than enough to justify a lower price point. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, one of the best things for me is the Schema Browser which allows you to see all kinds of objects in a simple master/detail presentation. As well, the ability to see the actual data for tables & views is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much. Overall, I guess I wish TOAD for SQL Server had some of the same options as TOAD for Oracle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Toad is the best tool for running SQL and develop against Oracle and MySQL, all the support you get with format, templates and highlights of code.

It's similar the best tool I ever used for a lot of DBA tasks. the help you get for common and useful tasks is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not much but if I need to mention something, even if there is a lot of help during code writing with templates, snippet and format, lot of other code-writing editors have auto-complete implemented. that would be awesome. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am using Toad For Mysql, and everything necessary for a dba is in a single software, the administration is easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Depending on the versions I have sometimes had problems with the components to be installed on the PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can use one tool to access SQL Server, Oracle and Excel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish it could access more of the things that SQL Server Management Studio does, like the scheduler and database permissions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.
