Qlik Sense
Qlik Sense is a self-service data analytics and visualization tool that allows users to create interactive reports and dashboards. It is designed to be user-friendly, with powerful drag-and-drop capabilities that make it easy for users to explore data and gain insights without needing deep technical expertise.
Qlik Sense comes in two main versions:
- Qlik Sense Enterprise (On-Premise): This version is deployed on your organization's servers, providing full control over data and infrastructure. It is ideal for businesses with stringent data security requirements or those with established on-premise systems.
- Qlik Cloud Analytics (Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS): Qlik's cloud-based solution offers all the powerful features of Qlik Sense, with the added benefits of cloud infrastructure. It provides greater scalability, automatic updates, and reduced maintenance costs. Qlik Cloud enables users to access analytics from anywhere, enhancing collaboration and agility.
QlikView
QlikView is Qlik's original product for guided analytics and dashboarding. It provides a controlled analytics experience, allowing developers to create complex, custom applications and dashboards tailored to specific business needs. While QlikView remains supported and widely used, Qlik Sense (and especially Qlik Cloud) represents the future direction of Qlik's product development. Organizations are encouraged to adopt Qlik Sense for its modern capabilities and enhanced user experience.
