We performed a comparison between DbVisualizer and Toad for Oracle based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Database Development and Management solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Actions like exporting grids to Excel or other tools is a very easy task."
"Timed queries that add their result to the result grid for every execution are helpful."
"Toad for Oracle has proven to be better than other tools since we have never experienced any crashes."
"I haven't seen any issues with scalability. We have about 1000 people on our IT team who use the solution."
"I like that it's very flexible and helpful in query accuracy, analysis, and data visualization. I also like the move facilities available in Toad for Oracle. Overall, I think it's a fantastic product for analyzing SQL queries and managing all kinds of queries."
"A quite simple feature that I have not encountered elsewhere is the "Make Code" feature. I can easily export a complex SQL statement to a programming language. This is a great timesaver as I do not have to type in all of the escape/concatenation characters just to create a SQL statement in C# or C++."
"The schema browser is the most valuable feature. The way it presents the objects in our database."
"The tool evaluates non-optimized queries and generates the queries in a way that is more optimal - in addition to giving us some good practices for code development."
"The best product for working with Oracle databases for support, checking and loading data."
"Toad has a lot of features that are very useful, fast, and well developed."
"Sometimes, I feel that the startup time takes a bit more time than needed."
"One thing I would like to see changed is having the JDBC drivers in a fixed location outside of the application package."
"There could be a tool for automated SQL query functioning."
"The way the dialog boxes appear can be improved."
"I would like to see an improvement in the performance because opening the browser and the editor should be faster."
"In future releases, the product can be more intuitive. It has to be lighter than what it is because sometimes it is not responding quickly. If I do some features at the same time, it's not supporting. I have to wait sometimes to get the action. It's dependent on the resources of the workstation, but it has to be improved in this area. The faster processing is needed."
"Once in a while, I may encounter a memory exception and have to abort the application. On a few occasions, the file that stores the saved connections for the New Connection window will become corrupt and I will lose all of my saved connections. I am not sure if that is a Windows or TOAD issue, but it has happened to all of my developers at some point or another."
"Sometimes it works in some areas, but in others, it doesn't. Like when you copy, you find that it's blank and doesn't copy anything. So, there are some objects that do copy, and sometimes they don't."
"It would be better if they had an online option allowing me to connect from anywhere on any device. Sometimes I face some errors, depending on the network and setup. It's not a big issue."
"Toad for Oracle does not have a particular resolution within the application."
