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
8.1
Teradata boosts analytics speed over 100%, enhancing customer service and satisfaction, with high ROI and user approval.
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.
 

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
7.1
Teradata's customer service is praised for expertise but criticized for delays, with ratings ranging from 6 to 10 out of 10.
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 technical support from Teradata is quite advanced.
Customer support is very good, rated eight out of ten under our essential agreement.
 

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
7.4
Teradata is praised for its scalability, speed, and flexibility, despite some complexity and cost challenges in cloud environments.
The system could be scaled to include more sources and functions.
This expansion can occur without incurring downtime or taking systems offline.
Scalability is complex as you need to purchase a license and coordinate with Teradata for additional disk space and CPU.
 

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
8.4
Teradata excels in stability with minimal downtime, robust architecture, 99.9% uptime, and reliable performance, despite minor large dataset issues.
I find the stability to be almost a ten out of ten.
The workload management and software maturity provide a reliable system.
 

Room For Improvement

Qlik Replicate needs UI improvements, clearer pricing, better performance, increased automation, enhanced support, and expanded features and marketing.
Teradata users seek better transaction processing, enhanced scalability, modern interface, cloud focus, advanced analytics, and improved support and documentation.
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.
Unlike SQL and Oracle, which have in-built replication capabilities, we don't have similar functionality with Teradata.
 

Setup Cost

Qlik Replicate is competitively priced compared to GoldenGate, but can be costly for smaller businesses with machine capacity-based pricing.
Teradata's high cost is justified by its superior performance, competitive total ownership costs, and flexible pricing models.
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.
Initially, it may seem expensive compared to similar cloud databases, however, it offers significant value in performance, stability, and overall output once in use.
Teradata is much more expensive than SQL, which is well-performed and cheaper.
 

Valuable Features

Qlik Replicate efficiently transforms data in real-time, offering ease of use, comprehensive support, and seamless integration for dynamic management.
Teradata offers efficient, scalable data management with fast query performance, robust security, automation, and cloud flexibility for businesses.
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.
The data mover is valuable over the last two years as it allows us to achieve data replication to our disaster recovery systems.

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.
