We performed a comparison between Fivetran 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."The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"There's the general feature of the platform where it just makes it very easy to integrate different things, but I would say a specific difference is their integration of DBT,."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"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."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"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."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"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."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"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."
"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."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
