Re: How do you think about Quest tools?

I think they are too expensive. The base price is too high, and if you
want all of the features, you have to pay extra!

Instead of TOAD, SQL Nav, Schema Manager, and Spotlight and try EZSQL.  It costs $150 per license, the trial period is 60 days (longer than Quest's).
Best of all, nobody will call you and try to talk you into buying it the
day after your trial period runs out. With EZSQL, you don't even have to
fill in personal information before you download it! I hate doing that.

www.ezsql.net.

You can't lose.
