We performed a comparison between Qlik Replicate, SAP Replication Server, and SSIS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"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."
"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 most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"SSIS is easy to use."
"It is easy to set up the product."
"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."
"The solution is stable."
"The performance and stability are good."
"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"The performance is better than doing it in some alternative ways. We don't have to worry about so much manual work."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"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."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"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."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"In terms of its performance, it could be better. That could be something that would be easy and welcomed as an upgrade."
"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"There are a lot of things that Microsoft could improve in relation to SSIS. One major problem we faced was when attempting to move some Excel files to our SQL Server. The Excel provider has a limitation that prevents importing more than 255 columns from a particular Excel file to the database. This restriction posed a significant issue for us."
