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.

Eliminates replication and allows you to use only one database, speeding up performance and reducing amount of storage

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. As a company, you're either hiring or paying an outsourcer to do that, and you have to manage it, keep up with the updates to the hardware, software, and the operating system. It's very expensive because there's a lot to control and take care of.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"Great with replicating and updating records."

"Qlik Replicate's ability to correctly map and replicate data, especially when converting complex fields like packed decimal fields into integers, stands out."

"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."

"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."

More Qlik Replicate pros

"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."

"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."

"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."

"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."

Cons

"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."

"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."

"The product should improve its licensing limitation."

"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 for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."

"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."

"Support response times could be improved as there are sometimes delays in receiving replies to support cases."

"There is complexity involved in the licensing part of this system."

More Qlik Replicate cons

"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."

"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

"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."

"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"Unlike Azure, where you pay based on consumption, Qlik Replicate seems to charge per endpoint."

"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."

"It's a very expensive solution."

"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."
