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.

Integration and security have improved, but search functionality and clarity of future direction need enhancement
The search function in SAP Analytics Hub is not effective. When speaking about integration with various analytic sources, for example, if I wanted to send the data from SAP BW or B4HANA to a data lake, we used to earlier use the Open Data Hub or Analytics Hub. Nowadays, we are using the Data Sphere integrators available with Amazon, Azure, and Google Cloud. The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"The system is basically user-driven, mostly operating as a local platform."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"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."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"Low-priced reporting and analytics solution, with good scalability and stability. It has on-premises and cloud versions that are cohesive and can integrate well."
"What I like best about this solution is that it is built into the SAP line, making it easier to integrate with other SAP products."
"SAP Analytics Hub offers a user-friendly interface with effortless configuration, seamless updates, and real-time availability of information. It avoids the complexities associated with batch processing, providing a smooth and efficient experience."
"As a partner, I can mention something positive about SAP Analytics Hub: its products are tightly integrated, so the business context of data is retained in the analytics solution, and that's the main advantage."
"Data consistency is also a notable feature; the system takes care of data consistency, so you don't need to handle it manually."
"The platform's main benefit is its integration with SAP ERP data. It’s effective for data integration and integrity."
"For report scheduling, I always prefer SAP because it has the most powerful scheduling features, like sending reports to more than 1,000 customers per day. That option is not as good in Microsoft BI and in Tableau it only exists as an add-on option."
"This product provides good reports using a single pane of glass."
 

Cons

"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"This product could be improved by providing more insight regarding errors. One of our customers that uses Qlik Replicate has had an issue. We tried to debug it, but we could not trace the error message. The infrastructure site should give us more insight about errors. Qlik Replicate is not a business solution, it's an IT solution. The reporting tools and bug site should 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."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"Support response times could be improved as there are sometimes delays in receiving replies to support cases."
"The product should improve its licensing limitation."
"Faster implementation of new functions for the new product is an area of improvement in SAP Analytics Hub."
"The platform could easily integrate with other ERP data solutions. Additionally, it should be faster compared to competitors in the cloud space."
"The technical support for Analytics Hub is limited and could be improved."
"The analytics part of SAP has not been that good up until now. They're still in the infant stage and development is still going on. SAP has some cloud analytics and they're trying to configure it in Lumira, but it's not that good at this point."
"Pricing and support are integrated into the system. However, the support process can be challenging, particularly when navigating the SAP support site, which lacks user-friendliness and ease of access."
"The search capability could be better, and SAP needs to come out with a clear roadmap for the solution going ahead, as they have not yet provided that."
"The interface can be simplified because it is not a user-friendly experience."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"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."
"It is an expensive solution."
"They are pursuing a highly assertive approach to target businesses of all sizes within the industry."
"The pricing is reasonable."
"The product is expensive."
