Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We first used Qlik Replicate to replicate data from the Oracle ERP system to a Microsoft SQL Server BI system. We have also started using Qlik Replicate to replicate from Salesforce to the Microsoft SQL Server BI system.

Pros and Cons

Flexibility for creating multiple tasks for grouping related tables
Table level filters
The scheduler feature has been very useful

The scheduler, while useful, has issues when trying to create or adjust a schedule more recent than the current time UTC. That is the one thing I would really like to see improved.

Return on Investment

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.

Usability

There is a learning curve, but once you get the hang of using Qlik Replicate it is quite easy to use and you start to see ways to use it to improve your replication landscape.
