"It is a complete ETL Solution."
"The most valuable feature is the copy activity."
"I can do everything I want with SSIS and Azure Data Factory."
"It is easy to deploy workflows and schedule jobs."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"Data Flow and Databricks are going to be extremely valuable services, allowing data solutions to scale as the business grows and new data sources are added."
"The most valuable feature of Azure Data Factory is that it has a good combination of flexibility, fine-tuning, automation, and good monitoring."
"This solution will allow the organisation to improve its existing data offerings over time by adding predictive analytics, data sharing via APIs and other enhancements readily."
"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."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"Support has been great."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"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 pricing model should be more transparent and available online."
"The support and the documentation can be improved."
"It's a good idea to take a Microsoft course. Because they are really helpful when you start from your journey with Data Factory."
"We require Azure Data Factory to be able to connect to Google Analytics."
"The solution needs to integrate more with other providers and should have a closer integration with Oracle BI."
"Azure Data Factory can improve by having support in the drivers for change data capture."
"The deployment should be easier."
"Sometimes I need to do some coding, and I'd like to avoid that. I'd like no-code integrations."
"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."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"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 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."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
