We performed a comparison between Fivetran 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 product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"It's very user-friendly when it comes to settings and configuration. It also offers very detailed logging about warnings and errors."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"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."
"A valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is that you do not need ETL. It's easy to use—you choose two systems and it automatically replicates them. Even if there is no CDC available, if you insert it and update it, and there is nothing to find out, then you can use Qlik Replicate. It's a good product."
"The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"Great with replicating and updating records."
"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."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"Fivetran is very expensive for data sources with a lot of rows, such as email data. I would like to see cheaper pricing for data sources like that."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"This product could be improved by providing more insight regarding errors. One of our customers that uses Qlik Replicate has had an issue. We tried to debug it, but we could not trace the error message. The infrastructure site should give us more insight about errors. Qlik Replicate is not a business solution, it's an IT solution. The reporting tools and bug site should be improved."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"The solution's flexibility to work with APIs should also be improved since it is very weak in working with APIs."
"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."
"Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement."
