We performed a comparison between Qlik Replicate and SSIS 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 CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate."
"We use Qlik Replicate to change data capture of databases in production environments."
"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 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 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."
"Support has been great."
"The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations."
"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."
"The debugging capabilities are great, particularly during data flow execution. You can look into the data and see what's going on in the pipeline."
"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."
"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."
"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."
"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"SSIS is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"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."
"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."
"We'd like better connectivity."
"It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics."
"We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system."
"In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."
"Support-wise, this solution is in need of improvement."
"The UI and data version control can be improved."
"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."
"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."
"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."
"Video training would be a helpful addition."
"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."
"There are a lot of things that Microsoft could improve in relation to SSIS. One major problem we faced was when attempting to move some Excel files to our SQL Server. The Excel provider has a limitation that prevents importing more than 255 columns from a particular Excel file to the database. This restriction posed a significant issue for us."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."
