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."
"Toad is 100% value for money product."
"Ability to save my custom queries and Macros"
"I don't know the financials, but I wouldn’t be able to do my job (build applications/databases) without it."
"With Toad, all the users have the same database on the server rather than local individual databases which creates a lot of duplication."
"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 was immensely helpful in collecting SQL database data, especially as I am not a database admin/engineer."
"TOAD makes it easy to code and compile stored procedures, is easy to find and edit code, offers the ability to debug and test, and is a great tool that saves a lot of time because it has a lot of components all in one tool so you don’t need to open or use other apps or the command line."
"This product is fast to learn and a user-friendly tool."
 

Cons

"The tool needs improvement in pricing and support."
"It's way overpriced, even if it wasn't the buggy product it has become."
"The product should provide better debugging features."
"There were issues due to the databases connectivity."
"Many users don't know how to add licensing to Toad, or where it is shown, so they could make that easier."
"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."
"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."
"It is not feasible for small businesses. It is not used in a small company."
"We sometimes have issues with multiple nested queries. They take a long time to run, and it would be nice to have them run faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Though I'm not involved in the licensing for Toad Data Modeler, I believe it's per user and not cheap."
