As Qlik continue to lead with cloud, this release provides more reasons for customers to use Qlik Sense in SaaS and cloud environments. Qlik have expanded their portfolio of connectors for cloud editions of Qlik Sense including SAP SQL Connector, DropBox, and Google Big Query – which has been updated to support the new BigQuery Storage API.
This release brings new visualisation capabilities that broaden the analytics capabilities in Qlik Sense. Qlik have added a new Mekko chart - commonly used to capture all aspects of a given measure.
Additionally, they have added an accumulation option in the bar chart, line chart, combo chart, and table – with the ability for an accumulation to be made over the whole dimension or within a finite number of steps.
This release also delivers new table styling options, giving the user more control over the look and feel, and 2 Dimension Trellis container to handle more complex charting needs. Many of these new visualisation capabilities will be of interest to QlikView customers, as they look to increase their Qlik Sense usage.
For mobility, they have now introduced offline mobile support for their Android mobile app. Qlik Sense Mobile for Android now has the same capability as the iOS app, allowing users to download their apps and explore data interactively when offline. It features a local version of the Qlik Associative Engine running on the device, supporting full exploration and search.
They continue to improve their enterprise reporting capabilities for new and existing customers. This release includes the highly anticipated Qlik NPrinting 16 to Qlik NPrinting 19 migration tool, which offers customers an easy and automated way to migrate content. This provides a path forward for the Qlik NPrinting 16 customer base, which is scheduled to EOL the first half of next year.
Qlik have also delivered new feature enhancements, including variable-based filter support to provide an easy way to dynamically filter report content, and have improved on-demand reporting for more flexibility and extensibility in Qlik Sense.
The Qlik Sense November 2019 release now includes the ability to run QlikView apps in cloud editions of Qlik Sense, making it easier for QlikView customers to modernise their analytics. Users can consume QlikView alongside Qlik Sense through a common hub and infrastructure. This is a key step in setting the stage for infrastructure cost reduction, deployment simplification and significant reduction of entitlement management challenges for QlikView customers.
At this time, Phase 1 of 2 is available; currently, QlikView apps must be uploaded manually or via a supplied utility. Phase 2 will include changes to QlikView so the upload of apps to Qlik Sense is automated.
Other notable release improvements include improvements to the management console in Qlik Associative Big Data Index, and Qlik license service integration for Qlik Insight Bot.
The Qlik November Product Releases deliver a breadth of new capabilities supporting their overall supply chain from data to insights.
