<\/p>\nYesterday Qlik announced they had been named a Gartner\u2019s Magic Quadrant Leader for Analytics and BI Platforms for 10th year in a row. This recognition marks not only a decade of Qlik\u2019s continuous leadership in the quadrant but also inclusion in Gartner\u2019s MQ since 2006.<\/p>\n
\u201cQlik is helping customers accelerate business value through data, providing a full range of capabilities to go from raw data to real-time insights and action,\u201d said Mike Capone, CEO of Qlik. \u201cOur company continues to grow profitably, and our strong performance has enabled us to invest in delivering an end-to-end platform that includes data integration, AI-driven insights, and conversational analytics. With our recent acquisition of RoxAI we are providing automated intelligent alerting for real-time decision making as we continue to invest in capabilities that increase data\u2019s value for every organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report, which Gartner releases annually in February, provides an unbiased evaluation of analytics and business intelligence (ABI) platforms, analyses the market and highlights its biggest trends. This time, an appraisal of the platforms is no longer based on their data visualization capabilities since those are becoming mainstream. Instead, the focus is shifting towards integrated support for enterprise reporting capabilities and augmented analytics.<\/p>\n
\u201cMachine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted data preparation, insight generation, and insight explanation \u2014 to augment how business people and analysts explore and analyze data \u2014 are fast becoming key sources of competitive differentiation, and therefore core investments, for vendors.\u201d \u2013 Gartner, 2020<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
