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 most valuable features of Qlik Replicate are its CDC performance and trigger functions. CDC feature is important to the financial industry."

"Its capability to replicate the data without impacting the source databases performance-wise is the most useful aspect."

"The system is basically user-driven, mostly operating as a local platform."

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

"Qlik Replicate has improved our organization because it has allowed each team the ability to do their own data replication into our single-source data, such as data lake or our AWS."

"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."

"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."

More Qlik Replicate pros

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

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

"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 use this solution for all kinds of communications like RFC, BAPI, IDoc, connecting with the orders, accounts, finance, data stuff, banking, everything."

"The most valuable thing about this product is that it replicates data between SAP databases (ASE to IQ) very successfully."

"This product has a catalog with the location of all the objects which were replicated, and it's very simple to maintain."

"Currently, there is a Hadoop-based infrastructure with several engineers to maintain the data, and now, using SAP Replication Server, it has become automatic and requires fewer people to put data in the data warehouse."

"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."

More SAP Replication Server pros

Cons

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

"Support for this product could be better. When we do, my rating is a two out of five, because their internal support is not great."

"When you remote into it the Qlik Replicate UI a lot of times it just freezes."

"Some features on the graphical user interface are clunky."

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

"We'd like better connectivity."

"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."

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

More Qlik Replicate cons

"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."

"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."

"It's a very expensive solution."

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

"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."

"There is a need to improve performance in high transactional processes."

"Setup was a little complex."

More SAP Replication Server cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Qlik Replicate is mainly suited for large companies. However, it is too costly for small businesses. Its pricing is high."

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

"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."

"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."

"Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."

"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."
