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 product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"I like that I can focus on the logic and I don't have to worry about the administration stuff. AWS handles that for me."
"Even if it does break down, it will automatically recover itself and resumes from where it stopped."
"The installation is easy."
"We particularly like that this solution has the facility to integrate with all ETL tools."
"The initial setup is simple. Not that much complex."
"This solution is very good at mini-batch processing."
"I am very impressed by the scalability of AWS Database Migration Service."
"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."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"Support has been great."
"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."
"As a solution, the better thing is if more platforms come with direct compatibility, like connecting to different data sources. The basic problem I faced the most was while transferring and reading data from Excel. So, one time, I found that all the components I had declared in my scripts were able to take it. And after some patching happens, it is not able to support that. Again, we need to update the version of Excel. So, it's not like a plug-in type place where you have done the solution and are confident that it will work. So, this is an area of improvement."
"There is no connectivity to the source database or the target database."
"The initial setup can be difficult for beginners in AWS Database Migration Service. You will need the training to complete it."
"If they had some sort of functionality where, at a specific point in time, if I want to start a new job, it should automatically pick up from where it has been left rather than having people worry about the exact job number and the timing."
"This solution is compatible with only AWS."
"We would like to see some improvement in the performance of large scale procedures, such as when we migrate from Oracle to csSQL."
"Migrating from here and pushing the data from on-premise to AWS cloud is a big challenge and a few more services from AWS would be helpful. For example, we are currently using ILDB internet tools which move data from on-premise to the AWS cloud. A few more services would be really helpful for me to move the master data."
"Whatever solution worked today can not be reused in the next migration."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to 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."
"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."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
