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."This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"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."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"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."
"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."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"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."
"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."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"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."
"We'd like better connectivity."
