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 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."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"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."
"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."
"I have worked with Data Services for a long time, and currently, I find the dashboarding and reporting part to be the most valuable function."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"Technical support from SAP is awesome. If we have an issue, they give a good solution."
"The HANA database, which is very fast, is a valuable feature."
"The BA reporting tools, such as Data Services, and ETL tool in SAP Data Services are the most valuable. When we had in-memory requirements, we used HANA. HANA is most preferably for most the customers for in-memory. SAP is the first company that created the in-memory concept."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"The feature of SAP Data Services has enhanced our company's business processes because we are able to run around 800 jobs in areas like data extraction and transaction objects."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"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."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"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."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"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."
"In the future, Data Services should offer a cloud version."
"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."
