IBM Cloud Pak for Integration vs Qlik Replicate comparison

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

"It is a stable solution."

"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."

"In general, the solution works very, very well."

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."

"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."

"Great with replicating and updating records."

"Support has been great."

"The pricing can be improved."

"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."

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

"What needs to be improved is the restriction that they have on the product."

"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated."

"The initial setup is not easy."

"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."

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

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

"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."

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

"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."

"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."

"When you remote into it the Qlik Replicate UI a lot of times it just freezes."

"It is an expensive solution."

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

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

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

"Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."

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

"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."

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