Works

Facilitates seamless connections and automation across multiple data sources

Toad Data Point should include more features for utilizing AI, which can automatically perform many tasks. The tool should have a feature where, if I convert my Oracle connection, the code, whether a select statement or anything else, should automatically convert into Oracle format. The same with SQL. When connecting to SQL, the code should be in SQL format, and when connecting to Teradata, it should be in Teradata format. Since not everyone knows all languages, there should be a feature that automatically converts code into the desired format. It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features.

BI Analyst DW Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable

The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Toad Data Point, I can automate most steps automatically."

"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."

"I have never experienced any issues with customer service."

"We love it."

"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."

"It provides better SQL development tooling than SQL Developer, which is not a sufficient tool for all development use cases. It offers power developers the tools they need."

"One of the greatest features is that you can get data from anywhere to anywhere with Toad Data Point."

"The best thing about it is its automation features."

"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."

"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."

"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."

"I like the data vault implementations."

"I found the initial setup very easy."

"The tool supports multiple target update methods."

"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."

"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."

"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."

"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."

"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version."

"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."

"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."

"Technical support isn't the best."

"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."

"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."

"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."

"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Toad Data Point was approximately $500 annually."

"The cost of this product is reasonable."

"The Mac licenses are expensive, costing 1,600 dollars each. This is much higher than for the Windows version. I maintain a very limited number of licenses due to this cost."

"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."

"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
