We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments.

Qlik Replicate stands out with its cutting-edge technology and its ability to handle diverse data management tasks. This powerful tool allows us to efficiently and swiftly load data into various data stores or destinations, while also enabling easy distribution across different endpoints. A notable feature is its capability to reload data from multiple sources by creating multiple tasks within a brief timeframe of fifteen to twenty minutes. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and ensures quick data loading from different tables.

Furthermore, Qlik Replicate functions as a twenty-four-hour messaging tool, operating as a streaming process. It constantly captures and updates changes within a twenty-four-hour window, allowing for real-time data tracking. The tool utilizes Change Data Capture to capture and store data changes, be it in the source data or metadata. While it may not always apply these changes to the target, it primarily focuses on change processing.

Mostly the databases which we used were able to find the connectors for. So, I would say that a pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate.

What we like best about Qlik Sense is its ability to get to data and bring it together in a cohesive way.

I also like that the on-premises and cloud versions of this product are more cohesive, which means they can integrate well.

The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate.

The most important feature is around replicating and updating records. We previously had to employ a programmer to replicate the difference between target and source and we no longer need to do that. 

Its capability to replicate the data without impacting the source databases performance-wise is the most useful aspect. In terms of the databases, what they do is they don't actually connect to the database and capture the data, and so they go with the logs. They, handle logs and capture the changes from there, and push those changes in real-time. The delay is in milliseconds. Within milliseconds' time, I can move the data to other databases. It's almost real-time for handling my real-time analytics. 

The solution is stable.

Support has been great.

It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors.

The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are data manipulation and 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.

From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product.

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.
