Foolproof stability and robust system
SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience. One of its notable features is real-time replication, which ensures that data changes are replicated immediately. This is particularly advantageous when we need to execute full processes promptly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"It's super easy to deploy and it also supports different languages and analytics."
"Reliability for the messages is key. RabbitMQ ensures your messages are safe. They are not deleted and stuff."
"Pivotal Greenplum's shared-nothing architecture."
"The security is great."
"Large amounts of data can be moved pretty fast using the solution."
"The product's reliability is the most valuable feature."
"Some of the most valuable features are publish and subscribe, fanout, and queues."
"Helps us to achieve large-scale analytics."
 

Cons

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"I would like to see the performance of the administration portal improved and additional messaging protocols."
"This solution struggled with multi-regional synchronization."
"I’d like this dashboard to use web sockets, so it would actually be in real time. It would slightly increase debugging, etc."
"The debugging capabilities and testing flexibilities need to be improved."
"The availability could be better."
"The support feature could benefit from some improvement in terms of accessibility and responsiveness."
"Their implementation is quite tricky. It's not that easy to implement RabbitMQ as a cluster."
"It doesn't have any GUI-based monitoring tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"It is the best product with best fit for price/performance customer objectives."
"It is an open-source product."
"On a scale of one to five, with five being the most competitive pricing, I would rate this solution as a four."
"The pricing for RabbitMQ is reasonable. It is worth the cost."
"It’s an open-source solution."
"The solution's pricing is cost-effective as it does not involve significant expenses. Licensing is required only for the server, while clients do not need any licensing. Therefore, it proves to be a cost-efficient option."
"Tanzu Greenplum's pricing is really competitive and gives excellent value for money."
"The price is pretty good."
