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.

Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

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."
"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."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"The cost is under control with this solution, unlike other services where it's not."
"Support has been great."
"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."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"Stability feels fine."
 

Cons

"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"The product should improve its licensing limitation."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"There is complexity involved in the licensing part of this system."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
"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."
"Unlike Azure, where you pay based on consumption, Qlik Replicate seems to charge per endpoint."
"Qlik Replicate is mainly suited for large companies. However, it is too costly for small businesses. Its pricing is high."
"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."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
