Considered Both Products	Fivetran Verified User Anonymous Chose Fivetran Matillion requires a lot more initial setup effort and the resulting schemas are also much more "raw" data than the nicely cleaned schemas which Fivetran provides.

User Testimonials
	Fivetran	Qlik Replicate
Likelihood to Recommend	[Fivetran is] very well suited when you are using popular and common data sources, such as the major ad platforms, and SaaS platforms such as Salesforce. If the majority of your data sources are custom internal applications or databases, may be less value as you aren't leveraging the delivered connectors. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Fernando Tonial Data Architect Read full review
Pros	Simplified ETL from a wide range of data sources Stable and painless data pipeline Granular control over what parts of the data source are loaded Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Qlik Replicate brought a great experience with respect to the ease of implementation and great UI. We had a software that was a blackbox for the team and was very hard to maintain. Qlik Replicate implementation helped us avoid dependency on one resource. Global transformation and in-built functions are what I like in our project. You can customize the conversion/transformation using a JSON file generated by Qlik Replicate, and it is very convenient. Incentivized SK SANJAY KUMAR Data Architect Read full review
Cons	Doesn't include support for a Kinesis stream as a data source so couldn't be used for some use cases under consideration Doesn't support the use of "BEFORE DELETE" triggers No support for serverless Aurora Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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. Incentivized Reid DeWolfe Vice President of Database Development Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	The availability of the replicated data in disparate environments has is now crucial. Replacing a product like Qlik Replicate would require significant time, investments, and work. In addition, Qlik Replicate is reasonably reliable with few failures. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Very easy and intuitive to setup and maintain as there usually are not that many options. Very well documented (e.g. how to setup each connector, how the schema looks like, any specific features of this connector etc.). Also the operation is intuitive, e.g. you have status pages, log pages, configuration pages etc. for each connector. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We now have greater business flexibility and scalability, and our big data integration projects have a quick rate of growth, which has been profitable for us. Independent of the sources involved, maintaining data consistency between sources is easy. One of my favorite features is the way it lets owners of the source system start and stop processes from updating their system windows. Incentivized Neel Shah Head Android Read full review
Performance	It runs pretty well and gets our data from point A to point cluster quickly enough. Honestly, it's not something I think about unless it breaks and that's pretty rare. Incentivized Scott Laronge Head of Data Science Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	The issue I've had is that Qlik does an awful job of keeping their customers informed when new versions of the software are available. We found that we were using a version that was no longer supported and could never get help. When it came time to get us upgraded so that we were on a current version, no one knew how to help get us to where we needed to be. We had to purchased professional services time and even then I was basically on my own to get everything built out and set up. Qlik needs to be more proactive with communicating about new releases and how to get your version upgraded in the most secure, safe way possible. Incentivized DC Darin Coulter Senior Analytics Manager Read full review
Implementation Rating	No answers on this topic	Follow the directions from the Qlik documentation. They are pretty straight forward and easy enough to follow. If you follow these, then you are not likely to have issues on implementation. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Fivetran came well with the connectors' availability and updates with the source changes. We had an idea on data requirements in our case which helped us to work out on cost implication and take a decision for Fivetran as a data provider for our organization. These were 2 places where Fivetran out-performed, other vendors. Incentivized Sudarshan Kothari Senior Data Scientist Read full review	Great tool for data replication solution for Oracle/SQLServers/etc. Real easy to get it set up and start realizing business value.

Return on Investment	Saved a lot of manual development days (unable to quantify) Accelerated the time to add a new source to the data warehouse a lot Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Prior to using Qlik Replicate, we used an ETL solution to copy data from the Oracle ERP system to the Microsoft SQL Server BI system at a 15-minute interval. It was very tedious to maintain. Qlik Replicate is much easier to use and we replicate data near real-time now. Incentivized MH Marcus Hopfinger Database Administrator Read full review
