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 product’s flexibility is valuable."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The scalability is excellent."
"The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."
"It is a scalable and versatile solution."
"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."
"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."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"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."
"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."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"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."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"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."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to 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."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"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."
