4 reasons to switch to Qlik Cloud Analytics
If you are looking for a way to analyze your data and gain insights, then Qlik Cloud Analytics might be something for you. And even if you are already using Qlik Sense, there are plenty of reasons to consider making a switch to the cloud!
Qlik Cloud lets you access your data and analytics anywhere, which means you can view them wherever you are, as long as you have an internet connection. Plus, you don't need to invest time and money in hardware or software because Qlik Cloud Analytics is a scalable solution that adapts to your needs. And you can quickly start analysing your data without worrying about infrastructure issues.
Furthermore, Qlik Cloud Analytics offers a wide range of data analytics features and capabilities, including data discovery, data integration, advanced visualisations and even automated machine learning. Some of the latest features that can only be found on the Qlik Cloud platform:
1. Better collaboration
Data sharing within Qlik Cloud Analytics is an important aspect of the tool. It allows users to easily share data and insights with others within their organisation.
One of the ways data can be shared in Qlik Cloud Analytics is through shared dashboards. Users can create dashboards with the visualisations and data relevant to their team, and then share them with other users. Sharing of 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 work collaboratively on apps and dashboards. Multiple users can work simultaneously on the same app and changes can be updated in real time. This is useful for teams collaborating on analytics and insights and wanting 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 organisation.
2. Always informed
Subscriptions allow users to stay informed about updates in their data and analytics. Users can subscribe to certain visualisations or dashboards and specify how often they want to receive updates (e.g. daily, weekly or monthly).
Alerts allow users to 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 visualisations or for the entire dashboard.
When an alert or subscription is triggered, the user receives a notification by e-mail, within the app itself or as a push notification on the smartphone.
These features are especially useful for users who want to keep abreast of changes in their data and analytics, without having to constantly check the dashboard manually. It is an efficient way to ensure that users are informed of important changes or trends in the data in a timely manner.
3. Comprehensive GEO functionality
GeoAnalytics is a powerful geographic analytics tool built into Qlik Cloud Analytics. With GeoAnalytics, users can combine data from different sources and visualise it on geographic maps. This enables them to identify geographical patterns and trends that are not clearly visible in tabular form.
In addition to geographical visualisations, Qlik Cloud offers the following additional functionalities:
- Geocoding functions, which can convert addresses or other location data 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 optimise models without the user needing extensive knowledge of machine learning.
Qlik Sense Cloud ML is available as part of Qlik Cloud Services, and it offers several advantages. First, it is a user-friendly 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 and enable them to make faster and better decisions. With Qlik Sense Cloud ML, users can build, train and deploy machine learning models without the need for programming experience.
In short, if you are looking for a flexible, scalable and secure way to analyse your data and gain insights, with the latest features always readily available then Qlik Cloud Analytics is definitely worth considering!
