We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Qlik Replicate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."For our simple requirement of migration, DMS is just a typical AWS RDS with an IPSec tunnel to Oracle. The most valuable features for us are the networking capabilities like VPCs and VPNs."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Database Migration Service is it catches all the history changes, such as inset, observe, and delete. It tracks everything."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"As the solution is on the cloud, we don't have to worry about the maintenance of software."
"The fact that it's well-integrated into multiple targets that are good for different use cases is pretty good."
"The solution is instantaneous. We can launch the service and reduce the end number of manpower."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"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."
"Qlik Replicate stands out with its cutting-edge technology and its ability to handle diverse data management tasks. This powerful tool allows us to efficiently and swiftly load data into various data stores or destinations, while also enabling easy distribution across different endpoints. A notable feature is its capability to reload data from multiple sources by creating multiple tasks within a brief timeframe of fifteen to twenty minutes. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and ensures quick data loading from different tables."
"The main valuable feature is its real-time change data capture (CDC) capabilities, which process data with minimal latency. There is not much delay. It also performs well with batch-wise data applications."
"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."
"More endpoints need to be supported by AWS Database Migration Service. There's also a need for more control and transparency on the product, including better technical support."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"If they had some sort of functionality where, at a specific point in time, if I want to start a new job, it should automatically pick up from where it has been left rather than having people worry about the exact job number and the timing."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"Database Migration Service could be more integrated. I think that it makes sense to add integration to these functions. For example, AWS Glue has a feature called Orchestrator to create data flows, and that's more straightforward."
"Migrating from here and pushing the data from on-premise to AWS cloud is a big challenge and a few more services from AWS would be helpful. For example, we are currently using ILDB internet tools which move data from on-premise to the AWS cloud. A few more services would be really helpful for me to move the master data."
"The live duplication has a delay of two minutes, which can be an issue."
"This solution can offer more tweaks where the latency can be brought down to fifteen seconds."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"When you remote into it the Qlik Replicate UI a lot of times it just freezes. We set up the EC2, to allow them to go to the server and click on the Replicate icon, it just opens up and just sits there. At that point, we have to go into the EC2 and then reboot the server. This should be fixed, it is frustrating."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"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."
