Room For Improvement

Qlik Replicate encounters challenges in usability, performance, and connectivity, needing improvements in error handling, support, and integration.
SAS Data Management needs improved usability, licensing, integration, cloud features, scalability, stability, and enhanced automated reporting and documentation.
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.

It is a core-based licensing, which, especially in the banking industry, results in the system capacity being utilized up to a maximum of 60%.

Setup Cost

Qlik Replicate offers competitive, negotiable pricing appealing to enterprise users, especially larger companies, but may be costly for small businesses.
SAS Data Management is powerful but costly, with affordability challenges for businesses, though educational trials and market-based pricing options exist.
For Qlik Replicate, the setup cost includes the requirement of a server, which represents the hardware cost that must be covered.

Licensing is calculated based on the machine's total capacity rather than actual usage.

From my experience, SAS Data Management is an expensive tool.

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.

Has supported centralized data access and improved governance through unified administration
The best features I appreciate about SAS Data Management tool are that it's easy to create the flows and schedule data, and the tables are not too big, making it easy to control the ETL process, including user access which is also easy to manage in SAS. The data integration tools with SAS Data Management were quite good because they allowed me to do all lineage, to manage and see all the variables, find the libraries where the data is, and understand the data in just one tool. Offering another development environment combining code and predefined objects, where I could just drag and drop to achieve what I needed, although some objects were not too good, but some were effective. The metadata management feature of SAS Data Management helps a lot; creating your data marts or data lake with good naming conventions, library conventions, and so on is very important because it allows easy queries to find the whole structure, though I think metadata governance also depends on first definitions, not only on the tool. SAS Data Management is very good for data governance; for me, it was the best tool I worked with in data management, although I don't have too much experience with others, and it truly helped a lot.
