Room For Improvement

Qlik Replicate encounters challenges in usability, performance, and connectivity, needing improvements in error handling, support, and integration.
WhereScape RED suffers from scalability issues, lacking performance efficiency, enhanced documentation, better GUI, and improved support for multi-database environments.
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%.
Director of analytics at Analytics Aura
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.

WhereScape RED's flexible developer-based licensing and native SQL code provide cost-effective, vendor-independent data warehousing solutions with quick ROI potential.
For Qlik Replicate, the setup cost includes the requirement of a server, which represents the hardware cost that must be covered.

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.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable
The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.
