Easy matching and reconciliation of data
The initial setup was easy for the data warehousing concept. But for a person who is new to ETL and warehousing concepts, it may take some time. If someone is familiar with these concepts, they could understand and learn the tool quickly. However, compared to other tools, the UI is complex. It would be helpful to have a better UI and documentation for new users. As of now, there is a challenge in learning the Compose tool for new users altogether. Qlik Compose was deployed on-premises. But the servers, like the SQL servers were maintained on the cloud—the managed instances.

Real-time data synchronization faces challenges with monitoring and affordability
The user-friendly interface in Qlik Replicate simplifies configuration and management of replication tasks because it is based on GUI, and users don't have to write any scripts. It is entirely drag and drop functionality. Even with zero knowledge of scripting, users can effectively use Qlik Replicate. The most valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is their change data capture feature. As soon as data is entered into the source, it gets captured at target locations. This occurs in near real-time, with replication happening within seconds at the target location. Additionally, whatever operations are performed at the source, whether adding data, deleting data, or updating anything, it gets replicated at target locations. It functions as data injection from source to target, ensuring all operations performed on the source system are replicated on target systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."
"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."
"It is a scalable solution."
"It's a stable solution."
"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."
"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good."
"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
"The system is basically user-driven, mostly operating as a local platform."
"The cost is under control with this solution, unlike other services where it's not."
"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."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"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."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
 

Cons

"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."
"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."
"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."
"There could be more customization options."
"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."
"When processing data from certain tables with a large volume of data, we encounter significant delays. For instance, when dealing with around one million records, it typically takes three to four hours. To address this, I aim to implement performance improvements across all tables, ensuring swift processing similar to those that are currently complete within seconds. The performance issue primarily arises when we analyze the inserts and updates from the source, subsequently dropping the table. While new insertions are handled promptly, updates are processed slowly, leading to performance issues. Despite consulting our Qlik vendors, they were unable to pinpoint the exact cause of this occurrence. Consequently, I am seeking ways to optimize performance within Qlik Compose, specifically concerning updates."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"I am not very comfortable with Qlik support as it often goes in loops. Even priority tickets, which should be resolved in minutes, can take days."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution is expensive."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."
"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."
"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."
"Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"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."
