We performed a comparison between AWS Database Migration Service and Qlik Replicate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"Support is helpful."
"It's pretty useful when we need to migrate something big from a different type of database that AWS Data Migration Services supports."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the one I use for report generation. The security risk is very low."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"The database migration services allow us to do real-time synchronization of on-premise and database to plan out our releases."
"The fact that it's well-integrated into multiple targets that are good for different use cases is pretty good."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"Support has been great."
"The names of the services need improvement since AWS doesn't indicate what the function of the product is presently. You need to read a lot to find the service that you want in the product."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"It would be helpful if the bandwidth could be independent of the network or if we could have a dedicated bandwidth for this product."
"The product's performance could be a little bit better."
"Database Migration Service could be more integrated. I think that it makes sense to add integration to these functions. For example, AWS Glue has a feature called Orchestrator to create data flows, and that's more straightforward."
"The server has limits on how many can connect to the database."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"The cost is a concern. We use DMS because of its simplicity, but the price could definitely be more competitive."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"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."
"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."
"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 for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"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."
