"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"The scalability is excellent."
"From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"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."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"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."
"Low-priced reporting and analytics solution, with good scalability and stability. It has on-premises and cloud versions that are cohesive and can integrate well."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"Informatica is very expensive in all aspects, so the pricing is something that could be improved."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"The product is not suitable for application integration."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"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."
"This product could be improved by providing more insight regarding errors. One of our customers that uses Qlik Replicate has had an issue. We tried to debug it, but we could not trace the error message. The infrastructure site should give us more insight about errors. Qlik Replicate is not a business solution, it's an IT solution. The reporting tools and bug site should be improved."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
