Handles large volumes of data with ease, but the self-service portal must be more user-friendly
My advice depends on an organization’s needs. If an organization has a large volume of data, Delphix is a good choice. It is robust and very efficient with large volumes of data and different kinds of databases. If someone is looking for a one-stop solution with all features and capabilities, they must consider a different tool. Overall, I rate the product a six or seven out of ten.
KrishnaBaddam - PeerSpot reviewer
Lightweight tool, ensures that data is replicated across different systems and simplify complex tasks such as defining relationships
Qlik Compose is something that will automate user's overall data modernization. Here data modernization includes data modeling, ETL jobs, etc. But the advantage is users can automate the overall process of data engineering and data modeling through Qlik Compose. I think that's useful when users are able to manage 60% of the workload automated. That will be very useful. That's fantastic. Replicate does not have a great AI capability. AI capabilities are present in Qlik Sense. Qlik Replicate is a very light tool. It is only meant to capture data from the log files, get the data, and transfer it, read that table structure, create the table structure, and transfer the data whenever there is a change. So, it basically integrates with the kernel of the operating system. The way it works is that these replicate tools will integrate with the kernel of the operating system, and they will access the redo log files of the database. The redo log should have access to all the files of the structure of the schema, too. So, using that technique, they redo all the data structures, create a similar structure, and replicate the structure in the target schema, table, and database. After that is done, it will start tracing the instances that are happening. For example, if data is inserted into the table, then an insert is fired on the statement on the table. So, that particular insert is captured. And based on that insert statement, it will pull the SQL query and say, "Okay, there is an insert. I need to get that data." It will get the data from the redo log itself rather than going to a database. Then, it will just pass that transaction into the target system, where it will just insert the data. And this happens instantaneously, within a microsecond. So, if there is an insert, an update, or a delete, everything is transferred immediately. It is picked from the redo log because it comes to the redo log, and then the redo log sends it to Qlik Replicate and Replicate to the target system on which Replicate is installed.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Data being available anytime is a life changer."
"It's really easy to install."
"Delphix's technical support is fairly knowledgeable."
"It provides the ability to roll back to a point in time or roll forward without the assistance of a DBA."
"Delphix's data distribution is powerful. It's easy to distribute data with this solution. The main advantage of Delphix is that it generates copies of data."
"The most valuable feature is creating virtual databases."
"Delphix interfaces are simple to use and very user friendly."
"The performance offered by the product, its price, and its ability to handle structured and unstructured data were good when compared to the other products in the market."
"The main valuable feature is its real-time change data capture (CDC) capabilities, which process data with minimal latency. There is not much delay. It also performs well with batch-wise data applications."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable 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."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"The cost is under control with this solution, unlike other services where it's not."
"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."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
 

Cons

"The solution’s self-service portal must be more interactive and user-friendly."
"The solution's price needs improvement."
"It would be good if any CI/CD and DevOps-aligned feature could be triggered through the DevOps pipeline."
"Could be improved with richer reporting capabilities."
"Delphix could be improved with better usability and an agentless option."
"This product should be extended and made to be a more comprehensive storage solution."
"Delphix is quite expensive."
"One thing I would like to see improved is the unusual error messages we receive and some slowness we have while we are updating."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"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."
"Some features on the graphical user interface are clunky."
