Qlik Replicate vs webMethods.io comparison

"Great with replicating and updating records."

"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."

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

"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."

"Support has been great."

"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."

"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."

"The synchronous and asynchronous messaging system the solution provides is very good."

"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."

"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."

"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."

"I like the stability of the webMethods Integration Server."

"The stability is good."

"webMethods Trading Networks is a good solution for interacting with outside of the organization. We can integrate the solutions with multiple outside the organization."

"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."

"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."

"The disadvantage is people are not going for this license because it is not marketed properly."

"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."

"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."

"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."

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

"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."

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

"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."

"They should develop clear visibility for the onboarding."

"webMethods.io needs to incorporate ChatGPT to enhance user experience. It can offer a customized user experience."

"The solution has big instances when deployed under microservices or in a containerized platform. They need to improve that so that it is competitive with other integration solutions, like Redis and Kafka. Deployments under microservices with those solutions are much more lightweight, in the size of the runtime itself, compared with Software AG."

"With performance, there is room for improvement in regards to if we would like to put another extra layer of security on it, such as SSL. This is affecting their performance quite significantly. They need to improve the process of managing the SSL and other things inside their solutions, so there will not be quite such a significant impact to the performance."

"It is quite expensive."

"The installation process should be simplified for first time users and be made more user-friendly."

"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features. I don't know what they could do differently. I know that they were vulnerable, and there was some downtime, but because they were down, we were unable to download any potential service packs."

"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."

"Qlik Replicate is not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."

"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."

"Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use."

"The pricing and licensing costs for webMethods are very high, which is the only reason that we might switch to another product."

"The pricing is a yearly license."

"It is an expensive tool. I rate the product price a nine out of ten, where ten means it is very expensive."

"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."

"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."

"The vendor is flexible with respect to pricing."

"Pricing has to be negotiated with the local Software AG representative. SAG can always prepare an appropriate pricing model for every client."

"I do see a lack of capabilities inside of the monetization area for them. They have a cloud infrastructure that is pay per use type of a thing. If you already use 1,000 transactions per se, then you can be charged and billed. I see room for improvement there for their side on that particular capability of the monetization."
