Replicate is extremely stable and does not generate a lot of alerts/failures/issues that take up time to troubleshoot.
It is very easy to add new source tables to a Replicate task so that we're always in sync with new data available from the CRM.
It's nice that Qlik Replicate also allows you to create a job to stop and then restart your tasks during maintenance windows that occur on both the source and target systems.

Cons

The volume size on the destination partner always has to be bigger than the source. This can get annoying. Not sure if they have made this automatic in future releases.
When you break a SnapMirror to use the destination volume you have to redirect all requests to the new volume. This isn't really a con but it is something you need to think about.

Qlik Replicate 8.0

Based on 9 answers

You don't have to be a GURU to use QLIK. By taking a basic training, you will be able to design a real-time data flow. It is simple to set up connection, configure settings, add internal parameters, add source and endpoints. On top of that giving permission and creating schedules can be done with minimum effort. The User Interface is very friendly for users.

Support Rating

NetApp SnapMirror 10.0

Based on 2 answers

NetApp support has always been great. With the NetApp Auto-support system/web portal, the visibility into your NetApp storage is incredible. There have been times when I've been contacted by them for an issue that I haven't even discovered yet. For example, I received a call 20 minutes after a drive failed in our filer. I hadn't checked my email at that time and therefore didn't see the alert.

Qlik Replicate 3.6

Based on 1 answer

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.

Qlik Replicate 7.3

Based on 1 answer

A lot of the process was done by an Attunity or Qlik engineer and there wasn't a lot of knowledge transfer to feel comfortable about maintaining the software without their help.

Alternatives Considered

Over the years we have transitioned to NetApp SnapMirror for all our storage needs. However, due to the short life cycle of support, it is cost prohibitive to maintain after support is ended. The main reason we have liked NetApp SnapMirror due to the many options and standardized management capabilities and flexible options for provisioning and setup of storage.

We're still evaluating, but so far Replicate is easier to set up than HVR. I'm not involved with the Fivetran evaluation.

We are replicating data from DB2 and Oracle. Data delivery speed is impressive.
Our old replication software was complex and was maintained by one resource. By introducing Qlik Replicate, we have the flexibility where many resources are trained and capable to operate and there is no need for a dedicated resource to manage this tool. This helped us save time and money by reducing a dedicated resource.
