Helps to build data pipelines and save time but pricing is expensive
We use Fivetran to build data engineering pipelines. It helps us do a lot of data transformation and data extraction.  Fivetran helps us save time and be more efficient because we do things with no-code/low-code.  The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines…

Performs well with batch-wise data applications but some features can also be overly dependent on each other
The main valuable feature is its real-time change data capture (CDC) capabilities, which process data with minimal latency. There is not much delay. It also performs well with batch-wise data applications. Our client is a global industrial company and needs real-time insights. With CDC, Qlik Replicate can capture changes as they happen. This allows us to process data for our platforms, where data scientists and analysts folks can generate valuable insights for management. This helps us grow the business and identify areas for improvement in real time. It's user-friendly and has a very beautiful UI. Anyone can learn to use this tool quickly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Replicate are its CDC performance and trigger functions. CDC feature is important to the financial industry."
"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."
"Support has been great."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
 

Cons

"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"This solution needs to improve its real-time data and transformation availability."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"The product should improve its licensing limitation."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"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."
"In various scenarios, an important consideration is when we encounter issues and Qlik Replicate suggests reloading a specific table. If we face any problems or encounter errors with that table, it becomes necessary to make a change in Qlik Replicate. Performing a full reload every time is not feasible or practical. Instead, we should identify the specific issues and address them without repeating the entire reloading process. Based on this approach, we can investigate and resolve the problem by performing targeted loads from the source itself. This change aligns with my perspective and is something I would like to implement."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."
"I've heard that the license for HVR is a bit costly compared to its competitors, but since it's reliable and efficient, I think the customer shouldn't be bothered about the cost."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"The licensing costs are extremely high for the usage of somebody who has one GB or two GB of usage per day for real-time traffic. There are many other players in the market which are similarly priced or competitively priced. On average per month, it used to come around 12,000-15,000 USD, which is very high."
"The solution is affordable."
"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"I would say they're a little bit on the expensive side, and their contract process is not particularly good, but there is a lot of potential flexibility."
"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 mainly suited for large companies. However, it is too costly for small businesses. Its pricing is high."
"Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use."
"Qlik Replicate is not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."
"Unlike Azure, where you pay based on consumption, Qlik Replicate seems to charge per endpoint."
