Toad Data at it's Best!

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Toad Data Point to move data across various systems. We move data to NutriKids, TransFinder and Destiny every day. We use it also as a data auditing tool. It is our number one query writing tool, which is easy to use because of the graphical interface. It has improved our day-to-day operations with data analysis.

Pros

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

Training. I think they should offer some basic training, which is all that was needed.
Licensing. We had to purchase a couple of copies for two machines. I am not sure if anything can be done about that.
Vender Expos. Have not heard of them being at any national conferences.

Likelihood to Recommend

I would certainly recommend it in conjunction with our student information system, PowerSchool. Since our student information system does not allow updates from an ODBC connect, there is no way of doing a mass update to data incorrectly. Being able to see the table and easily do joins has made me more efficient when writing sql statements.

Toad Data Point easy connection and reporting all in one

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company is a real estate office along with an in house escrow. Our escrow company uses software to produce the escrows while on the real estate side of the house we use a Transaction Management Software to flow listings and transactions. We use TDP in several ways. The first way is to produce numerous reports for the owner regarding the escrow department. Some of those reports include weekly opening, closing and canceling of escrows and the number and dollars behind those. Along with the average closing time of escrows compared to previous years passed based on escrow officer along with real estate agent. On the real estate side of the house, we use the TMS companies API to pull data into our database and then use TDP to create reports on the agent's transactions and listings. Some of the reports look at the number of listings the agent takes compared to the number closed both in number and dollars, this information helps us develop classes for agents which are having problems getting listings but not being able to sell. Another report that is run once a month is agent production.

Pros

When I am not in the office, I can have someone that has used it only a hand full of times jump in and produce a great looking report by using the interface which is nice looking and intuitive. This strength of TDP is ideal for those reports that have to get out ASAP and an SMA is not available.
The ER Diagrammer helps in building those relationships in a hurry if you're doing some business analysts. You can't get this feature for the price.
I use the explain plan when I can't figure out why a query is not returning the results I think it should. It is a powerful tool and it's easy to see the problems with the representation.

Cons

At times the tool does seem a little slow some speed tweaks would be welcome.
To make it even more intuitive adding intellisense would be nice.
A data presentation dash would be a nice touch to customize data.

Likelihood to Recommend

In our case, it is well suited for preparing data for management and also to compare the data between our escrow department and our real estate side. Comparing the two sides makes it easy to see patterns of agent behavior. We also use it to cross check both sides to make sure the dates in both applications match.
