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.

Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"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 most valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is their change data capture feature."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"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 system is basically user-driven, mostly operating as a local platform."
"Qlik Replicate's ability to correctly map and replicate data, especially when converting complex fields like packed decimal fields into integers, stands out."
"The cost is under control with this solution, unlike other services where it's not."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."
"Great monitoring tools and has its own alert framework."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"Some features on the graphical user interface are clunky."
"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."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"The product should improve its licensing limitation."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"It requires some maintenance."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
 

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."
"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."
"Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"Qlik Replicate is not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."
"Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
