Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."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."
"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."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"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."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"Support has been great."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."
"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"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."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"Technical support isn't the best."
