    Hi @Jhon Hernandez ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
    You can all think of them as benefits of replication. However, you need to analyze the specific situation, after all, there are many types of replication.
    Like this article mentioned:
    Load balancing. Replication allows you to disseminate your data to a number of servers and then distribute the query load among those servers.
    Offline processing. Replication supports manipulating data from your database on a machine that is not always connected to the network.
    Redundancy. Replication allows you to build a fail-over database server that’s ready to pick up the processing load at a moment’s notice.
    Moreover, i want to share you two kinds of replication: Merge Replication and Peer to Peer Replication(Only in Enterprise Edition).
    Lower licensing costs: See this link:

    Best regards,
    Seeya
