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."The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it."
"The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."
"The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."
"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."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"Support has been great."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"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."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"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."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"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."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"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."
