Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

Qlik Replicate and Spring Cloud Data Flow compete in the data integration and management sector. Qlik Replicate may have the upper hand due to its real-time change data capture and extensive connector capabilities, while Spring Cloud Data Flow is notable for its programming flexibility and integration with Spring Boot applications.

Features: Qlik Replicate handles diverse data management tasks, offers real-time change data capture, and supports efficient data loading. Its user-friendly interface and extensive connectors further enhance its capabilities. Spring Cloud Data Flow provides flexibility in programming models, strong integration with Spring Boot, and a plug-and-play model with auto-configuration features for microservices orchestration.

Room for Improvement: Qlik Replicate could improve its user-friendliness and error messaging, and issues with its pricing model have been noted. Some users express concerns about the performance of its support. Spring Cloud Data Flow users have identified challenges with documentation clarity and community support. Its interface, particularly for Kubernetes integration, could be more intuitive.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Qlik Replicate supports hybrid deployment, allowing flexibility between on-prem and cloud setups, though support experiences vary. Some users praise its thoroughness, while others suggest a need for faster response times. Spring Cloud Data Flow is often deployed on-premises or private cloud, with certain expectations for improvement in community support compared to other tools.

Pricing and ROI: Qlik Replicate's pricing, generally seen as high, is more suited for larger enterprises due to its per-endpoint pricing structure. Despite the high cost, users report significant ROI from database usage savings and operational efficiency. Spring Cloud Data Flow, as an open-source product, appeals with a more cost-effective model, incurring only support service costs, making it attractive for those seeking a low-cost entry point. The pricing strategy marks a clear difference, with Qlik Replicate offering premium features at a higher cost versus Spring Cloud Data Flow's cost flexibility with its open-source framework.

Real-time data synchronization faces challenges with monitoring and affordability

The user-friendly interface in Qlik Replicate simplifies configuration and management of replication tasks because it is based on GUI, and users don't have to write any scripts. It is entirely drag and drop functionality. Even with zero knowledge of scripting, users can effectively use Qlik Replicate. The most valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is their change data capture feature. As soon as data is entered into the source, it gets captured at target locations. This occurs in near real-time, with replication happening within seconds at the target location. Additionally, whatever operations are performed at the source, whether adding data, deleting data, or updating anything, it gets replicated at target locations. It functions as data injection from source to target, ensuring all operations performed on the source system are replicated on target systems.

Provides ease of integration with other cloud platforms

Spring Cloud Data Flow is a useful product if I consider how there are different providers with whom my company had to deal, and most of them offer cloud-based products. I can't explain any crucial circumstances where the product's integration capabilities were helpful, but the aforementioned details explain the scenario for which I used the solution. I was only involved with the development of the product and not with the data pipeline configuration phase. The use of Spring Cloud Data Flow greatly impacted projects' time to market since our company's intention was to actually deploy and ensure that the payment platform integrated with it, which was an easy process. The product's user interface was very intuitive. The tool was deployed in multiple environments, but I am not sure about the production. From the time I started taking up the job in my current organization, I saw that we have deployed the tool in multiple environments wherein the number of users extensively used the product in the UAT environment, which is one of the most stable environments. There were 20 different methods to test the tool. I wouldn't be able to tell you the production details of the tool as I was more part of the production deployment, but I can say that it was deployed with the intent of making it available for 10,000 users. Those who plan to use the product should enjoy the flexibility of the solution. I rate the tool a nine 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 valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is their change data capture feature."

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

"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."

"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best 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."

"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."

"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."

"The system is basically user-driven, mostly operating as a local platform."

More Qlik Replicate pros

"The dashboards in Spring Cloud Dataflow are quite valuable."

"The ease of deployment on Kubernetes, the seamless integration for orchestration of various pipelines, and the visual dashboard that simplifies operations even for non-specialists such as quality analysts."

"The solution's most valuable feature is that it allows us to use different batch data sources, retrieve the data, and then do the data processing, after which we can convert and store it in the target."

"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."

"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."

"The product is very user-friendly."

"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."

"The best thing I like about Spring Cloud Data Flow is its plug-and-play model."

Cons

"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."

"There is complexity involved in the licensing part of this system."

"The product should improve its licensing limitation."

"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."

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

"Support response times could be improved as there are sometimes delays in receiving replies to support cases."

"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."

More Qlik Replicate cons

"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."

"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."

"The solution's community support could be improved."

"Spring Cloud Data Flow is not an easy-to-use tool, so improvements are required."

"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."

"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."

"There were instances of deployment pipelines getting stuck, and the dashboard not always accurately showing the application status, requiring manual intervention such as rerunning applications or refreshing the dashboard."

"I would improve the dashboard features as they are not very user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

"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."

"This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."

"The solution provides value for money, and we are currently using its community edition."

"If you want support from Spring Cloud Data Flow there is a fee. The Spring Framework is open-source and this is a free solution."
