And you can quickly start analyzing your data without worrying about infrastructure issues.
Furthermore, Qlik Cloud Analytics offers a wide range of data analysis features and capabilities, including data discovery, data integration, advanced visualizations, and even automated machine learning. Some of the latest capabilities that are only found on the Qlik Cloud platform include:
1. Better collaboration
Sharing data within Qlik Cloud Analytics is a key aspect of the tool. It allows users to easily share data and insights with others within their organization.
One of the ways data can be shared in Qlik Cloud Analytics is through shared dashboards. Users can create dashboards with the visualizations and data that are relevant to their team, and then share them with other users. Sharing Qlik Sense apps is especially useful for users who have performed complex analyses and want to share them with others so they can easily access the results.
Within Qlik Cloud Analytics it is also possible to to work collaboratively on apps and dashboards. Multiple users can work on the same app simultaneously, and changes can be updated in real time. This is useful for teams that collaborate on analysis and insights and want to make changes quickly.
Finally, Qlik Cloud Analytics offers integrations with other tools, including Slack and Microsoft Teams, making it even easier to share data and collaborate with others within the organization.
2. Always up to date
Subscriptions enable users to stay up-to-date on updates to their data and analytics. Users can subscribe to specific visualizations or dashboards and specify how often they want to receive updates (e.g. daily, weekly, or monthly).
With alerts users can set an alert for certain conditions in their data. For example, this could be an alert when a certain threshold is exceeded or when a certain pattern is detected. Users can set these alerts for specific visualizations or for the entire dashboard.
When an alert or subscription is activated, the user will receive a notification by email, within the app itself or as a push notification on the smartphone.
These features are especially useful for users who want to stay on top of changes in their data and analytics, without having to manually check the dashboard all the time. It is an efficient way to ensure that users are notified of important changes or trends in the data in a timely manner.
3. Extensive GEO functionality
GeoAnalytics is a powerful geographic analysis tool built into Qlik Cloud Analytics. With Geoanalytics allows users to combine data from different sources and visualize it on geographic maps. This enables them to identify geographic patterns and trends that are not clearly visible in table form.
In addition to geographic visualizations, Qlik Cloud offers the following additional functionalities:
- Geocoding functions, which allow addresses or other location data to be converted into coordinates on the map.
- Distance and travel calculations, which can calculate the distance between two points and estimate travel times.
- Geospatial search, which allows users to search and identify locations based on specific criteria.
4. Machine learning
Auto-ML (automated machine learning) is an automated approach to machine learning that uses advanced algorithms to build and optimize models without requiring extensive knowledge of machine learning.
Qlik Sense Cloud ML is available as part of Qlik Cloud Services, and it offers several benefits. First, it is an easy-to-use way to perform advanced analytics and gain insights without having to be an experienced data analyst or scientist. This can increase users’ efficiency and productivity, enabling them to make faster and better decisions. With Qlik Sense Cloud ML, users can build, train, and deploy machine learning models without any programming experience.
In short, if you are looking for a flexible, scalable and secure way to analyze your data and gain insights, with the latest functionalities always available immediately, then Qlik Cloud Analytics is definitely worth considering!
