We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerExchange and Qlik Replicate based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"Mainstream integration and real-time integration are the best features."
"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."
"The agentless RCDC enablement through PowerExchange is a great idea and has worked very well so far."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"From a technical perspective, this is an excellent product."
"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."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"It enables us to transform data at the latest stage rather than in ETL loads, so it's more ELT which is one of the advantages. It is also in near real-time, which brings significant advantage for our embedded analytics approach."
"Qlik Replicate stands out with its cutting-edge technology and its ability to handle diverse data management tasks. This powerful tool allows us to efficiently and swiftly load data into various data stores or destinations, while also enabling easy distribution across different endpoints. A notable feature is its capability to reload data from multiple sources by creating multiple tasks within a brief timeframe of fifteen to twenty minutes. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and ensures quick data loading from different tables."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Apache Spark has a machine learning algorithm, an area where Informatica PowerExchange lacks."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"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."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious."
"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 for this product is not great. It needs to be improved."
"We'd like better connectivity."
