Quick facts about Qlik
Data analytics
Qlik helps teams analyze business data through interactive dashboards, reports and visual analytics.
Associative engine

Reports and dashboards
Power BI is used to create interactive reports and dashboards that help teams monitor performance and analyze trends.
Data integration
Qlik also provides data integration tools for moving, preparing and managing data across different systems.
How Qlik works
Qlik is used to bring data together and turn it into dashboards, reports and visual analytics. Teams can use Qlik to explore data, find relationships and make business information easier to understand. A simple Qlik workflow often looks like this:
- Connect business data
- Prepare and model data
- Build dashboards and visualizations
- Share analytics with users
This makes Qlik relevant for teams that need business intelligence, self service analytics and data exploration. As with other BI platforms, the challenge often grows when analytics need to reach more users, external audiences or customer facing environments.
Where Qlik fits in the BI landscape
Qlik is one of the established business intelligence platforms used by organizations that want to analyze data and create interactive dashboards. It is often compared with tools such as Power BI and Tableau because all three help teams turn data into visual reporting and analytics.
For Skald BI, Qlik is relevant as part of the broader BI landscape. Skald BI is focused on Power BI report distribution, but many of the same business questions apply across BI tools: who needs access, how reports are shared, how users experience analytics and how organizations keep control as reporting grows.
Qlik helps teams work with data and analytics. Skald BI focuses on making existing Power BI reports easier to share through a secure branded portal.
