IBM Cloud Pak for Integration vs Qlik Replicate comparison

"Redirection is a key feature. It helps in managing multiple microservices by centralizing control and access."

"It is a stable solution."

"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."

"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."

"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."

"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."

"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."

"Great with replicating and updating records."

"The most valuable features of Qlik Replicate are its CDC performance and trigger functions. CDC feature is important to the financial industry."

"Qlik Replicate's ability to correctly map and replicate data, especially when converting complex fields like packed decimal fields into integers, stands out."

"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."

"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."

"Enterprise bots are needed to balance products like Kafka and Confluent."

"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."

"The pricing can be improved."

"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."

"The initial setup is not easy."

"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."

"We'd like better connectivity."

"Some features on the graphical user interface are clunky."

"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."

"Support response times could be improved as there are sometimes delays in receiving replies to support cases."

"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."

"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."

"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."

"The solution's pricing model is very flexible."

"It is an expensive solution."

"On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Qlik Replicate's pricing a nine out of ten."

"Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use."

"Qlik Replicate is not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."

"Qlik Replicate is mainly suited for large companies. However, it is too costly for small businesses. Its pricing is high."

"Unlike Azure, where you pay based on consumption, Qlik Replicate seems to charge per endpoint."

"Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
