"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate.""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 CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate.""It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors.""We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments.""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.""Great with replicating and updating records."

Cons
"The major shortcoming of PowerExchange is high availability and failover. None of the versions we've used to date have had the out-of-the-box ability to enable failover and high-availability requirements. This is a significant challenge and risk.""V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working.""Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved.""The solution needs better integration with other tools.""The product is not suitable for application integration.""Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important.""The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."

"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs.""We'd like better connectivity.""The UI and data version control can be improved.""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.""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.""Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."

  • "Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."
