We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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.""We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments.""Low-priced reporting and analytics solution, with good scalability and stability. It has on-premises and cloud versions that are cohesive and can integrate well.""The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable 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."

"This product is very easy to use.""The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship.""The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent.""Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place.""Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others.""We're sold on the customization part of the solution.""Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement.""This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."

Cons
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst.""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.""Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement.""Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved.""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 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.""It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."

More Qlik Replicate Cons →

"The product could be more intuitive.""Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement.""It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components.""It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them.""The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it.""Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties.""The user interface could be made simpler.""In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Talend Open Studio solution.

    Elio B., Data Integration Specialist/CTO at Asset messages, says, "The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."

    A Practice Head, Analytics at a tech services company mentions, “The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent. The product's data preparation features are very good. There's very useful data stewardship within the product. From a technical standpoint, the solution itself is pretty good. There are very good pre-built connectors in Talend, which is good for many clients or businesses, as, in most cases, companies are dealing with multiple data sources from multiple technologies. That is where a tool like Talend is extremely helpful.”

    Prerna T., Senior System Executive at a tech services company, comments, “The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups. With Salesforce, when we want to relate our child objects to their parent object, we need to create them via IDs. Then the upsert operation, which will allow you to relate a child object to the event, will have an external ID. That is the best thing which keeps it very sorted. I like that.”

    An Implementation Specialist, Individual Contributor at a computer software company, states, “I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields.” He also adds, “It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool.”

    PeerSpot user Badrakh V., Information System Architect at Astvision, explains, "The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
