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.

An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services
Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"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."
"It enables us to transform data at the latest stage rather than in ETL loads, so it's more ELT which is one of the advantages. It is also in near real-time, which brings significant advantage for our embedded analytics approach."
"Support has been great."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"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."
"What I like the most about the solution is that it comes with ready-made tools like handling security tokens and OAuth."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is the built-in monitoring, auditing, RETS, and SOAP services."
"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."
"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."
"This solution has given us a competitive advantage because we have better automation and insight."
"We have found the pricing of the solution to be fair."
"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."
 

Cons

"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"The product should improve its licensing limitation."
"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-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"It is an expensive solution and not very suitable for smaller businesses."
"This product is for larger companies. Compared to TIBCO I think webMethods is better in terms of ease of use and support."
"The solution should include REST API calls."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."
"The products, at the moment, are new and there should perhaps be support for the older version of the protocols."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Qlik Replicate is not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."
"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."
"This is not a cheap solution but, compared to other products such as those offered by IBM, the pricing is similar."
"Based on our team discussions and feedback, it is pretty costly because they charge us for each transmission."
"The product is expensive."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."
"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
