Real-time outage insights have improved customer communication but data source support needs work
In terms of handling diverse data sources, Qlik Replicate does exhibit certain shortcomings.Other areas of Qlik Replicate that could be improved include its ability to serve as a single point tool, similar to Databricks and Azure Data Lake, depending on the kind of capabilities required. I believe that having updated documentation is crucial as we encountered a scenario while going through documentation that had not been updated since 2024, which introduced risks since we rely on accurate documentation for task imports and endpoint re-credentialing considerations before reaching out to customer support. Additionally, functionalities for running standardized data quality rules and validation logic, along with exception monitoring similar to what is available in Databricks, would be beneficial for users. While Qlik Replicate is scalable, I find there are limitations. When deploying a tool, it can be centralized, decentralized, or federated, depending on the organization's control and responsibility preferences. We successfully scaled several of our Oracle RDBMS systems simultaneously, including PeopleSoft HR and our network access request systems. However, addressing the shortcomings we discussed would enhance its competitiveness in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"Support has been great."
"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."
"Qlik Replicate's real-time data delivery significantly impacts our organization's data insights, especially concerning network outages."
"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."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"Qlik Replicate's ability to correctly map and replicate data, especially when converting complex fields like packed decimal fields into integers, stands out."
"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."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"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."
"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 UI and data version control can be improved."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"Support for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"I am not very comfortable with Qlik support as it often goes in loops. Even priority tickets, which should be resolved in minutes, can take days."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Qlik Replicate is not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."
"Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use."
"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."
"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."
