We performed a comparison between Qlik Replicate and SAP Data Services 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."Support has been great."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"It's easy to understand and deploy. It's easy to create new applications, and depending on the complexity of the application, it is easy to deploy the new requirements."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The most valuable feature is the ETL functionality."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"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."
"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'd like better connectivity."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"It would be nice if this solution was a bit easier to move from development to production."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"With SAP Data Services, the problem arises when I try to connect to Azure Databricks."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
