Easy data streaming with Qlik Replicate

Rating: 8 out of 10

April 19, 2023

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

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.

Likelihood to Recommend

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.

Pros

Replication between different databases
Customizations
Transformations
LOB handling
Filtering

Cons

Support wise
Support more sources
Performance improvements

Likelihood to Recommend

Specifically when we have different Source and targets triplicate and for CDC data, transaction, and batch processing.

Qlik Replicate delivers data fast for quick discovery and analysis

Rating: 10 out of 10

December 6, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Qlik Replicate for the replication of data in our brick-and-mortar source system databases to our cloud database. Our source systems are on many servers and we replicate them near real-time to a central cloud database. In our central cloud database, our users (product, data scientists, business analysts, etc.) can query the data directly. We also maintain data marts against the replicated data that are used by many different areas of our business as well. With Qlik Replicate we can tune replication to be cost-effective per data set. And, with Qlik Enterprise Manager we can manage and analyze all replication tasks in a single UI no matter how many Qlik Replicate servers we may have and, whether they are on Linux or Windows.

Pros

Many different source to target replication options
Common UI on Linux and Windows
Lots of task tuning options
Robust API (Enterprise Manager)
Easy to use UI
Robust scheduler

Cons

I would like to be able to keep task history beyond 30 days for viewing in analytics.
I would like integrations to more than email. Say, MSFT Teams channels.
Logging is great. With known resolutions to errors that are encountered it would be great to have more detailed context-sensitive help for faster resolution of errors. Especially if they are well known in the community.
I would like integration to source control for our at least our tasks.

Likelihood to Recommend

We've found Qlik Replicate is well suited for near-real-time data replication from brick and mortar databases to cloud providers. We've tried a number of different options and found Qlik Replicate to be the one product that could handle all of our use cases without any issues. We also minimize any custom code needs as well as administration and application support needs.

Alternatives

Oracle GoldenGate

We tried to use Oracle GoldenGate for our Oracle source replication needs but, had too many issues with a number of our tables due to churn or size. Qlik Replicate had no issues. And, we can tune our tasks to not impact the source systems we are pulling from.

Qlik Replicate is an efficient ETL product

Rating: 8 out of 10

Incentivized

October 18, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Replicate to ETL data from on our prem instances to cloud databases hosted by both ourselves and our clients. Our clients benefit greatly from having near-real-time data from our application available to them for analysis and integration purposes. Using Replicate allowed us to avoid developing our own custom processes and tooling for automating the creation of these ETL processes.

Pros

Reliably and quickly delivers data to and from a wide variety of endpoints.
Support staff responds quickly and helpfully to support requests and questions.
API coverage in Enterprise Manager allows for automation of administrative tasks.

Cons

The base Replicate web GUI is lacking. If you have dozens or more tasks, it's hard to get a sense of how they're performing. Enterprise Manager solves all of these problems but is a separate install.
The support portal is extremely difficult to navigate. It's hard to track down exactly what you're looking for.
It would be helpful to have better documentation and example queries for the tables in the Enterprise Manager analytics database.
Destination databases that don't support common DDL commands behave unpredictably. And the replication of schema changes isn't consistent.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's a great solution if you have relatively static schemas and a limited number of tasks going to a small number of distinct endpoint types. In those situations, it can easily handle large volumes of data changes given appropriate host resources. However, once you end up with a larger number of tasks with a diversity of destination endpoint types Enterprise Manager becomes essential. Automating tasks via API is needed to keep management of the tool sustainable.

Alternatives

Fivetran

The biggest advantage of Replicate in comparison to Fivetran is that we can run the application on-prem. This allows us to configure it precisely how we desire, avoid opening additional ports in our firewall, and monitor its resource consumption directly. That level of control is highly desirable for us.

Qlik Replicate for Data Analytics

Rating: 7 out of 10

Incentivized

June 22, 2021

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

It is used as a replication service(tool) to copy data from one source to another(Target) and make use of the data instead of hitting the main source and that is used for all the data analytics. This solved the problem of the cross-platform join for the end-users who want to view the data.

Pros

Replication
Synchronization
Distribution

Cons

Support
Cost
Learning curve

Likelihood to Recommend

Organizations should use this tool if they have a variety of data sets that needed to be in one place and do cross-platform joins.

Alternatives

SQL Server Integration Services

Simple to do one-to-one copy and very reliable, as other tools a little complex in setting up the pipelines and scheduling parts. Very simple to connect to the SFTP locations and easy to download them as well.
