Real-time data synchronization faces challenges with monitoring and affordability
The user-friendly interface in Qlik Replicate simplifies configuration and management of replication tasks because it is based on GUI, and users don't have to write any scripts. It is entirely drag and drop functionality. Even with zero knowledge of scripting, users can effectively use Qlik Replicate. The most valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is their change data capture feature. As soon as data is entered into the source, it gets captured at target locations. This occurs in near real-time, with replication happening within seconds at the target location. Additionally, whatever operations are performed at the source, whether adding data, deleting data, or updating anything, it gets replicated at target locations. It functions as data injection from source to target, ensuring all operations performed on the source system are replicated on target systems.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"Support has been great."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Replicate are its CDC performance and trigger functions. CDC feature is important to the financial industry."
"Qlik Replicate's ability to correctly map and replicate data, especially when converting complex fields like packed decimal fields into integers, stands out."
"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 system is basically user-driven, mostly operating as a local platform."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"I am not very comfortable with Qlik support as it often goes in loops. 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."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"Some features on the graphical user interface are clunky."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Qlik Replicate is mainly suited for large companies. However, it is too costly for small businesses. Its pricing is high."
"Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"Unlike Azure, where you pay based on consumption, Qlik Replicate seems to charge per endpoint."
"Qlik Replicate is not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."
"Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use."
