Pros
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature.""This solution is extremely flexible and scalable.""IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."

More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Pros →

"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments.""A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate.""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.""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.""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.""Support has been great.""The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."

Cons
"Their technical support needs improvement.""IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing.""There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required.""This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."

More IBM InfoSphere Information Server Cons →

"We'd like better connectivity.""Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement.""It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics.""The UI and data version control can be improved.""It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious.""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.""In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
