We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory 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.
"From my experience so far, the best feature is the ability to copy data to any environment. We have 100 connects and we can connect them to the system and copy the data from its respective system to any environment. That is the best feature."
"It is easy to integrate."
"We haven't had any issues connecting it to other products."
"Powerful but easy-to-use and intuitive."
"I like its integration with SQL pools, its ability to work with Databricks, its pipelines, and the serverless architecture are the most effective features."
"I like how you can create your own pipeline in your space and reuse those creations. You can collaborate with other people who want to use your code."
"I like that it's a monolithic data platform. This is why we propose these solutions."
"Allows more data between on-premises and cloud solutions"
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"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."
"Support has been great."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"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."
"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 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."
"This solution is currently only useful for basic data movement and file extractions, which we would like to see developed to handle more complex data transformations."
"Data Factory could be improved in terms of data transformations by adding more metadata extractions."
"Azure Data Factory uses many resources and has issues with parallel workflows."
"The thing we missed most was data update, but this is now available as of two weeks ago."
"Some known bugs and issues with Azure Data Factory could be rectified."
"There's space for improvement in the development process of the data pipelines."
"It does not appear to be as rich as other ETL tools. It has very limited capabilities."
"The initial setup is not very straightforward."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"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."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"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."
"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."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
