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."From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"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."
"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."
"Support has been great."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best 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."
"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."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"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."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"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."
"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 solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
