Qlik Replicate is a fantastic tool for replicating data between databases.
Its use in analytical environments is essential to ensure speed in data delivery between transactional and analytical bases, keeping these bases updated and reducing the waiting time of complex and costly loads that greatly impact data environments.
In my previous company, we used Qlik Replicate as the primary tool for near-real-time data integration. The flexibility it provides allows you to perform simple ETL tasks directly within the software. This was crucial for our retail company with an ecommerce platform, as we needed to fulfill orders quickly and align stock information almost immediately.
Pros
Real time integration
User experience
Performance
Cons
Data mapping
Integration with external custom code

As a retail company, it is crucial to have consistent and accurate stock information across all systems. Qlik Replicate is a useful tool for achieving this goal, as it efficiently replicates data in near-real-time. However, it may not be the best option for data that requires pre-aggregation before replication. In such cases, using another tool or Qlik View/Sense script may be more appropriate and avoid the need for replicate.
Qlik Replicate is used to data integration allows organization to replicate, synchronize, and integrate data across multiple databases, data warehouses, and other data storage systems.

Qlik Replicate works very well with relational data platforms, both on premise and in the cloud, for example Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL and others, it also works very well with DB2.
If the data source is MongoDB, it is more complicated and currently there is no possibility of sending data to MongoDB.
We use Qlik replicate to extract data from sources to a decentralized environment to minimize the impact on our production sources. We do this on any data sources that are relevant for our data engineers. We have different types of sources that all need to be replicated and Qlic replicate has done a good job so far for our data sources like Oracle, SAP, and Microsoft SQL servers.
Pros
It has a really good replication speed.
The interface is initiative.
It supports many major platforms.
Cons
It’s a bit heavy for our relative small environment.
It works best if you also use other Qlik products.
You need experienced people to work with this tool.
Likelihood to Recommend
Qlic replicate works best if you have a good data specialist that knows what he is doing. If you have many different source platforms, Qlic can make a connection to all. It supports many of the major platforms. If you mainly use one data source platform, the native tooling could better suit your use case. If you have a small company, it probably would be better to look for some cheaper tooling.

Our essential data integration procedures, including data replication, transformation, and ingestion, have been reduced and are now more efficient and cost-effective than before. Our data integration process was simplified, and both its ease of use and the manner in which it transfers data from one place to another had a good influence on our performance.
Pros
It is really easy to scale up the big data integrated projects which helps a lot financially.
Sometimes for data replication it's really handy.
It can take and capture a large data.
Cons
It requires a stable and proper internet connection.
Sometimes it's harder to duplicate the environments.
Some more documentation could be provided.

All sizes of businesses may benefit from integrating data from various sources for analytics and business operations thanks to Qlik Replicate. Data architects and administrators may quickly and effectively set up, manage, and monitor bulk loads utilizing agentless setups due to its global visibility capabilities and centralized management of data transmission across distributed, hybrid settings.
Most of business case data pipelines are implemented and used with this application.
Previously, we had lots issue regarding replication of our realtime stream of business sales data and e-commerce data. Using this data warehousing is made easier and helpful. Even batch processing the streaming data is more convenient using this software.
Pros
Datawarehousing
Data Encoding
Batch Processing streaming data
Handle transactional Metadata
Bigdata complications are solved
Cons
Few local databases are not compatible
Spark processing to be needed
Few APi integrations are not compatible
Likelihood to Recommend
Handling streaming data where it good at. Replication of database services are awesome. It works wide range of dbs, ware houses and Hadoop clusters with seamless cloud data replication. Big data ingestion and data pipeline creation is much easier using this software. As it partnered with azure, most of our services with azure can be used here as well.
We use Qlik Replicate as one of many tools to migrate data across platforms
Pros
Simple task creation
Cons
Bugs.
Qlik Replicate is great because it requires no coding. But it falls short in customizability.
Likelihood to Recommend
Simple full load data migration is where Qlik Replicate excels. However, depending on your skillset, you may wish to develop something on your own. In the case where time or skills are limited, it's great.

We use Qlik Replicate to Move Data over from 14 DB2 on-prem servers to AWS cloud. The tool is very easy to configure between any Source and Target. We never had any issues with it so far. It scales to a greater extent, and we can customize it to our need for Replication frequency and the format in which you want the data to be delivered into Target. It was a great suit for us, as we were looking for a tool that can read data from our Journals and not from the physical tables, so the performance of the transaction system is not Impacted. I would definitely recommend Qlik Replicate for other companies looking out for a Replication Tool.
Pros
Easy to Scale
Multiple Endpoint options
Options of Output format
Cons
Logging
Alerting
Likelihood to Recommend
Well suited for scenarios where you want to read from Journals and not from Physical Tables. Data reconciliation is not done with Qlik Replicate.
