Creates intuitive diagrams with comprehensive control over relationships
1) When updating a model after generating a schema, if only a few tables are imported, the tool assumes you want to delete the rest. If you have a large model, you repeatedly have to clarify that you don't want to delete each one. 2) If one could view the same model on physical, logical, and conceptual levels while retaining all information specific to each level (including layout), that would be excellent.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"EDB Postgres Enterprise Manager helps us to build custom files."
"I don't know the financials, but I wouldn’t be able to do my job (build applications/databases) without it."
"Horizontal layout for each connected database connection makes it easy to work with multiple databases at the same time."
"Auto-complete is the best feature of the solution."
"This product is fast to learn and a user-friendly tool."
"Toad allowed us to run the query on the cloud DB and return data from the query, making things much faster."
"The feature I really like is the graphical part, especially the control of the relationships, because you can move them around any way you want, which makes it easy to create a comprehensive and easy-to-understand diagram."
"It is a very good option for creating and editing SQL scripts, especially large ones that I have run in support of government billing applications."
"I found all features valuable and necessary in Toad Data Modeler, particularly how good the solution is for modeling, database schema generation, and database re-engineering. I also found Toad Data Modeler straightforward to use."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"Better documentation would be a benefit."
"Sometimes, Toad crashes without a clue as to why, and it needs an immediate restart."
"It's way overpriced, even if it wasn't the buggy product it has become."
"The one thing about it is that there are almost too many features and options; some we don’t even use."
"Although a lot of people get deceived by the name “Data Analysis”, it has capacity of any enterprise tool, but not to the point of creating multiple pipes in one integrated work-flow, batching the work-flows and running them parallel for data loads."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"When updating a model after generating a schema, if only a few tables are imported, the tool assumes you want to delete the rest, which is cumbersome."
"It's quite stable but takes a bit of a time to run SQL queries if the database is huge."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Though I'm not involved in the licensing for Toad Data Modeler, I believe it's per user and not cheap."
"Price-wise, the lesser it is, the better it is for me, especially in Egypt. I think that the licensing cost ranges from 1,000 to 9,000. Also, it includes maintenance and support for a year."
