TOAD excels at connecting to divergent data sources, but appears geared more to DBAs than to regular query users. Microsoft's offerings excel against Microsoft SQL Server, but sometimes struggle with other data sources.

However, SSMS and VS Code excel at many developer …
Chose Toad Data Point
Both of these tools offer data extraction and even include SQL components. I noted earlier that RStudio is useful for statistical modeling and data visualization in ways Toad Data Point cannot do. Microsoft Access also has a useful query building window that Toad Data Point is …
Chose Toad Data Point
I find Toad Data Point easy to use and easy to format and extract data to Excel. The Workbook (new interface) is closely tied to email. Intelligence Central is also closely tied to email. I find this tool essential if your data is stored in different database types or some …
Chose Toad Data Point
Although Toad and UltraEdit are both great products, from an SQL standpoint Toad is a much better editor and troubleshooter.
Chose Toad Data Point
Toad give me more flexibility. Being able to utilize FTP to send data and receive files from external systems is wonderful. Using the automation tool to run different database, file, and system activities has made my day-to-day functions easy. Being able to schedule tasks …
Chose Toad Data Point
We have tried to use Tableau to try and accomplish a similar set of goals as we do with Toad Data Point. Toad is much more efficient once we have the data connections setup. We are able to easily drag and drop data sources. There are some advantages with Tableau but overall …
Chose Toad Data Point
I have not used another tool that allows for these seamless connections so it is unfair to rate Tableau and Hyperion against this becuase they have different uses. But if I had to compare, Tableau does not make it as easy to connect to multiple datasources and definitely has …
Chose Toad Data Point
I like Toad Data Point being more designed to work with non Oracle databases
Chose Toad Data Point
I have only used TDP due to using other Toad products over the years, I know they will do a great job.

Likelihood to Recommend
I would recommend it because it's an amazing tool for different levels of users. From Business Analysts to Data Scientists to Managers, various employees can make use of this tool to make data-driven decisions. I'm not sure about where it would be less appropriate as I'm using it as Data Scientist and so far it pretty much caters to my need.

Toad Data Point is the clear tool of choice if the end-user is interested in reports that are relatively simple to build using SQL code and export to Excel. It is less useful if the analyst also needs to run statistical models on the data and visualize the data for those functions I usually use RStudio or Jupyter Notebook which incorporates those features much more seamlessly.

Pros
  • Very intuitive and easy to use UI, making a lot of types of users can collaborate with each other easily, by visualizing the same workflow.
  • Many building blocks can be reused immediately, avoid a lot of non-standard boiler plate implementation.
  • Data pre-analysis and feature engineering assistance increase the productivity as well as the efficiency of data scientists.
  • Many data connectors support wide range of data storage, from SQL, TeraData, Hadoop Hive, etc.
  • Support from research till final MaaS solution deployment.

  • Ease of use. It is a very easy product to use without any particular training.
  • Multiple data source connection. It easily connects to multiple data sources which allows you to use different data sources to run reports.
  • Seamless application. Once you set everything up-- whether it is an FTP or export of data-- you can set it and forget it!

Cons
  • Its community support is very limited at the moment
  • Complex to integrate with automation tools such as Blue Prism

  • The program can error out when reconnecting to a database from a timeout but that is easily fixed by restarting the program.
  • If you aren't familiar with database tools the UI can be overwhelming to some.

Usability
As I have described earlier, the intuitiveness of this tool makes it great as well as the variety of users that can use this tool. Also, the plugins available in their repository provide solutions to various data science problems.

I find Toad Data Point easy to use for both the novice and the experienced business analyst. If all you desire is to access data and create spreadsheets...this is a snap. Toad Data Point actually has cool data analysis features built into it. The newer workflow interface makes automating steps a snap

Support Rating
The open source user community is friendly, helpful, and responsive, at times even outdoing commercial software vendors. Documentation is also top notch, and usually resolves issues without the need for human interactions. Great product design, with a focus on user experience, also makes platform use intuitive, thus reducing the need for explicit support.

Strictly for Data Science operations, Anaconda can be considered as a subset of Dataiku DSS. While Anaconda supports Python and R programming languages, Dataiku also provides this facility, but also provides GUI to creates models with just a click of a button. This provides the flexibility to users who do not wish to alter the model hyperparameters in greater depths. Writing codes to extract meaningful data is time consuming compared to Dataiku's ability to perform feature engineering and data transformation through click of a button.

TOAD excels at connecting to divergent data sources, but appears geared more to DBAs than to regular query users. Microsoft's offerings excel against Microsoft SQL Server, but sometimes struggle with other data sources. However, SSMS and vs code excel at many developer productivity/workflow enhancements. vs code, in particular, has a lively extension system that allows it to be tailored for development/querying/model building/etc. That flexibility comes at a cost - the learning curve is steep for new users. The tradeoff between complexity and power may not be good for some environments/users/situations.

Return on Investment
  • Given its open source status, only cost is the learning curve, which is minimal compared to time savings for data exploration.
  • Platform also ease tracking of data processing workflow, unlike Excel.
  • Build-in data visualizations covers many use cases with minimal customization; time saver.

  • It is the least common denominator - not particularly optimized for our environment or workflows.
  • Hangs or slowdowns add anywhere from 5% - 7% for projects utilizing large/complicated data setts. (This could be due to other IT-imposed constraints and not entirely due to TOAD.)
  • Trying to perform some operations requires reading documentation and experimenting in order to figure out the TOAD-specific approaches and commands.
  • It just works (when we understand it). Updates don't break things and things don't suddenly start behaving differently. Best of all, we don't mysteriously lose functionality.
