Toad for Oracle’s Base Edition Subscription means new updates are pushed to users, making it easy to confirm that desktop tools meet regulatory requirements. To meet this demand, Gartner predicts that 75% of organizations selling direct to consumers will offer subscription services by 2023.
This latest update also reflects that Quest has a pulse on what customers want - subscription based software. Toad for Oracle 14.0 exemplifies the company’s commitment to supporting all types of users and organizations with managing and monitoring their data, while providing critical data protection. “For those individual users and smaller companies with limited budgets that have been getting by with Toad Freeware, they will now be able to enjoy all the capabilities of commercial Toad for Oracle with a 12 month subscription at an affordable price.” “As demand for more flexibility increases, this new subscription model aligns with today’s users’ purchasing needs as well as their desire for simplified upgrading processes, which we view are mission critical with the constant onslaught of breaches occurring,” said Chris DeBiase, chief operating officer at Quest Software. Delivering a new subscription model for Base Edition with SSDLC processes, users can minimize the risk of data breaches without compromise. Addressing the need to easily secure data in a flexible manner, Toad for Oracle 14.0 allows developers and DBAs to receive new updates automatically so the latest releases with patches to security vulnerabilities are always in place. In addition to having valuable data leaked, which can cause reputational damage, organizations that fall victim to breaches can find themselves on the hook for regulatory fines costing millions of dollars. With data breaches on the rise, from ransomware attacks to targeted phishing scams, it’s more critical than ever that DBAs and developers have the right solutions in place to ensure a secure infrastructure in a way that fits their needs.
