Toad Data Point is a cross-platform, self-service, data-integration tool that simplifies data access, preparation and provisioning. It provides data connectivity and desktop data integration, and with the Workbook interface for business users, it provides simple-to-use visual query building and workflow automation.
Datameer's workbooks include an intuitive GUI for maximum usability. Anyone with an analytical mind may easily compile data using the built-in worksheet capability without requiring much technological knowledge. Ad hoc reports may now be made and scheduled. In addition, I haven't had too much problem fixing things because I can get most of the answers I want there.
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.
It leverages scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness of hadoop to deliver an end-user focused analytic platform for big data without involvement of IT.
It overcomes Hadoop`s complexity by providing GUI interface with pre-built functions across integration, analytics and data visualization .
Excel feature is awesome for business users which is already provided by Datameer.
Using datameer now user can do smart analytic using Decision Trees, Column dependency and recommendation.
Recently HTML5 inclusion is making application to available on a wider range of devices, including the iPad and other mobile devices which does not support Flash.
It can be used in premise or in a cloud computing environment.
Wizard-based data integration designed for IT and business users to schedule and do transformation of large sets of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data without any knowledge of Hadoop ecosystem.
Employees with intermediate SQL and Hive knowledge can generate reports faster than using Datameer . It does have visualization tool but I don't think it is anything that cannot be accomplished by importing the data in Excel
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
I have compared Datameer with the tools listed above and it blows them out of the water. Datameer is much more user friendly than these tools and is also a lot more powerful. Once the Q1 release comes out with drill down capabilities on the infographics, Datameer will surpass Tableau and Spotfire in visualization.
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.
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.
