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."Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best 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."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"Support has been great."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"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."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"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."
"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"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."
"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."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"We'd like better connectivity."
