We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerExchange and Qlik Replicate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The scalability is excellent."
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
"The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"Low-priced reporting and analytics solution, with good scalability and stability. It has on-premises and cloud versions that are cohesive and can integrate well."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"A valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is that you do not need ETL. It's easy to use—you choose two systems and it automatically replicates them. Even if there is no CDC available, if you insert it and update it, and there is nothing to find out, then you can use Qlik Replicate. It's a good product."
"It enables us to transform data at the latest stage rather than in ETL loads, so it's more ELT which is one of the advantages. It is also in near real-time, which brings significant advantage for our embedded analytics approach."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"The major shortcoming of PowerExchange is high availability and failover. None of the versions we've used to date have had the out-of-the-box ability to enable failover and high-availability requirements. This is a significant challenge and risk."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"In various scenarios, an important consideration is when we encounter issues and Qlik Replicate suggests reloading a specific table. If we face any problems or encounter errors with that table, it becomes necessary to make a change in Qlik Replicate. Performing a full reload every time is not feasible or practical. Instead, we should identify the specific issues and address them without repeating the entire reloading process. Based on this approach, we can investigate and resolve the problem by performing targeted loads from the source itself. This change aligns with my perspective and is something I would like to implement."
"This product could be improved by providing more insight regarding errors. One of our customers that uses Qlik Replicate has had an issue. We tried to debug it, but we could not trace the error message. The infrastructure site should give us more insight about errors. Qlik Replicate is not a business solution, it's an IT solution. The reporting tools and bug site should be improved."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
