Lightweight tool, ensures that data is replicated across different systems and simplify complex tasks such as defining relationships
Qlik Compose is something that will automate user's overall data modernization. Here data modernization includes data modeling, ETL jobs, etc. But the advantage is users can automate the overall process of data engineering and data modeling through Qlik Compose. I think that's useful when users are able to manage 60% of the workload automated. That will be very useful. That's fantastic. Replicate does not have a great AI capability. AI capabilities are present in Qlik Sense. Qlik Replicate is a very light tool. It is only meant to capture data from the log files, get the data, and transfer it, read that table structure, create the table structure, and transfer the data whenever there is a change. So, it basically integrates with the kernel of the operating system. The way it works is that these replicate tools will integrate with the kernel of the operating system, and they will access the redo log files of the database. The redo log should have access to all the files of the structure of the schema, too. So, using that technique, they redo all the data structures, create a similar structure, and replicate the structure in the target schema, table, and database. After that is done, it will start tracing the instances that are happening. For example, if data is inserted into the table, then an insert is fired on the statement on the table. So, that particular insert is captured. And based on that insert statement, it will pull the SQL query and say, "Okay, there is an insert. I need to get that data." It will get the data from the redo log itself rather than going to a database. Then, it will just pass that transaction into the target system, where it will just insert the data. And this happens instantaneously, within a microsecond. So, if there is an insert, an update, or a delete, everything is transferred immediately. It is picked from the redo log because it comes to the redo log, and then the redo log sends it to Qlik Replicate and Replicate to the target system on which Replicate is installed.

Achieves rapid results in data migration and has an intuitive user interface
I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL. The interface is interactive, allowing me to quickly learn how to run pipelines and achieve production-ready results swiftly. This agility translates to cost savings, especially for smaller projects and proofs of concept, as less time and effort are needed to deliver results.

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."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"The most valuable features of Qlik Replicate are its CDC performance and trigger functions. CDC feature is important to the financial industry."
"It is only meant to capture data from the log files, get the data, and transfer it, read that table structure, create the table structure, and transfer the data whenever there is a change."
"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."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."
"SnapLogice is a low-code development tool."
"The technical support from SnapLogic is excellent, and I would give it a complete ten."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"I find SnapLogic to be user-friendly, especially for beginners with limited experience in data engineering or ETL."
"SnapLogic is a great platform for establishing integrations among various systems or patterns by using any kind of interface. If something is not supported by predefined snaps – snaps are connectors in SnapLogic – you can create them (custom snaps) or write a script."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"The disadvantage is people are not going for this license because it is not marketed properly."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"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."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."
"The biggest issue we have faced in our company with SnapLogic is regarding the EDI format"
"We'd like zero downtime in the future."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky."
"If the AI capabilities and integrations were more intuitive and easy for new users to learn, it would be greatly beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Unlike Azure, where you pay based on consumption, Qlik Replicate seems to charge per endpoint."
"Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use."
"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."
"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 not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The pricing is okay."
"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."
