Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
8.1
Qlik Replicate boosts efficiency by automating reporting, reducing costs, and accelerating data access for faster decision-making.
Sentiment score
5.9
Talend Data integration streamlines processing, boosts efficiency, saves time, is scalable, user-friendly, improves accuracy, and adds business value.
I conducted a cost comparison with the AWS service provider, and this option is much cheaper than the Kinesis service offered by AWS.
Customers have seen ROI with Qlik Replicate because they get their data for analysis faster, enabling quicker decision-making compared to traditional data sourcing methods.
It has helped us save a lot of time by automating repetitive data processes and reducing manual interventions.
They didn't want to use separate ETL tools for MDM or for TMC and data preparation, which is all included in one package.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
5.7
Qlik Replicate's support varies; clear communication helps, but users often face delays compared to more straightforward tools like HVR.
Sentiment score
7.2
Talend users find the customer service responsive and helpful, though complex issues may require Java routines and take longer.
Even priority tickets, which should be resolved in minutes, can take days.
Support response times could be improved as there are sometimes delays in receiving replies to support cases.
The support team is responsive when we raise issues, and they usually provide clear guidance or solutions.
The customer support for Talend Data Integration is very good; whenever I raise a ticket in the customer portal, I immediately receive an email, and follow-up communication is prompt.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.9
Qlik Replicate is scalable and flexible, benefiting medium organizations, but requires careful configuration and memory management for performance.
Sentiment score
6.9
Talend Data Integration is scalable, effectively managing large data volumes with job parallelization and modular design, rated eight out of ten.
The system could be scaled to include more sources and functions.
By using features like job parallelization and modular design, we can expand our data flows without having to rebuild everything.
The scalability of Talend Data Integration is good; if it weren't scalable, it wouldn't be reliable.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.5
Qlik Replicate is stable, efficiently handles large data, and users rate its reliability highly, despite minor API concerns.
Sentiment score
7.2
Talend Data Integration is reliable, stable, and dependable for large data volumes with well-designed deployments and adequate infrastructure.
Once the jobs are properly designed and deployed, they run reliably without major issues.
 

Room For Improvement

Qlik Replicate needs UI improvements, clearer pricing, better performance, increased automation, enhanced support, and expanded features and marketing.
Talend Data Integration requires better debugging tools, technical support, interface user-friendliness, and enhanced cloud connectivity and processing capabilities.
It is a core-based licensing, which, especially in the banking industry, results in the system capacity being utilized up to a maximum of 60%.
Qlik Replicate could be improved in the next release by incorporating more monitoring options to monitor the logs.
It would be great to have more ready-to-use connectors for modern cloud and SaaS platforms.
Talend Data Integration can be improved by reducing the license cost, as it is a bit high compared to other tools, which can be a burden for small-scale companies wanting to buy a license.
Regarding ETL, Talend Data Integration is great, but concerning real-time data processing, people are not really sure about Talend Data Integration or might not know how it provides such types of flexibilities.
 

Setup Cost

Qlik Replicate is competitively priced compared to GoldenGate, but can be costly for smaller businesses with machine capacity-based pricing.
<p>Talend Data Integration offers scalable annual pricing, praised for cost-effectiveness but advanced features may increase costs, with strong support.</p>
Licensing is calculated based on the machine's total capacity rather than actual usage.
For Qlik Replicate, the setup cost includes the requirement of a server, which represents the hardware cost that must be covered.
My experience with Talend Data Integration's pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is a bit higher compared to other tools, making it not very affordable.
 

Valuable Features

Qlik Replicate efficiently transforms data in real-time, offering ease of use, comprehensive support, and seamless integration for dynamic management.
Talend Data Integration offers extensive connectivity, Java integration, automation, and centralized management, enhancing efficiency and stability in data processes.
The most valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is their change data capture feature.
Data retrieved from the system can be pushed to multiple places, supporting various divisions such as marketing, loans, and others.
By automating daily data loading processes, we reduced manual effort by around three or four hours per day, which saved roughly 60 to 80 hours per month.
Flexibility is a key feature I appreciate about Talend Data Integration, especially the integration of Java within it and the ease of integrating with multiple source repositories such as GitHub and Bitbucket.
The best feature of Talend Data Integration is its multiple data DB components; we have almost all the components and also cloud versions, with TMC allowing us to perform data preparation and data stewardship.

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.

Offers flexibility and ease of integration while needing improvements in data flow management
I haven't worked with Talend Data Integration on real-time data processing; I have only seen the streaming component, and I think it can accommodate limited streaming, not at the level of larger big data platforms. Regarding ETL, Talend Data Integration is great, but concerning real-time data processing, people are not really sure about Talend Data Integration or might not know how it provides such types of flexibilities. I haven't worked on this aspect in Talend Data Integration, so this is definitely an area where it lacks. To elaborate on one drawback, if I am designing something in Talend Data Integration, I cannot backtrack in the flow. For example, if I read data from a source and transform it before applying complex aggregation in the third step, I cannot join this data with the second step. If I need to go back, I will have to use a memory component, or if I need to avoid memory consumption, I will have to read the data from step one again to join it with the third step.
