Qlik blog - One company. One vision. And a 9x Leader.

As 2024 comes to a close, I can’t help but reflect on all that we’ve accomplished this past year. We’ve taken some truly remarkable leaps in our data integration, analytics, and AI capabilities.

One of my favorite moments from this year was announcing Qlik Talend Cloud®, bringing the best of Qlik and Talend together in a brand-new offering. I couldn’t be more proud of the work the team has done this year to unify our people, our products, and our vision — and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate that success than by being named a Leader for the ninth consecutive year in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Data Integration Tools.

Both Qlik and Talend were named Leaders in last year’s report based on the strengths of each company’s unique offerings in the data integration space. Qlik Talend Cloud is just the first step to combine Qlik and Talend’s capabilities into a unified, industry-leading solution. We believe our recognition in this year’s Magic Quadrant is due in large part to the success of these efforts and the power of our singular vision.

With Qlik Talend Cloud, customers get AI-augmented, real-time data integration capabilities including advanced data synchronization, replication, movement, and transformation. As part of the launch, we also introduced brand new capabilities like data products to help our customers streamline end-to-end data management and establish AI-ready data foundations. Of course, data trust is essential, so we’ve integrated data governance into the platform, making it easy to enact and automate data quality processes, track the lineage of each dataset, maintain regulatory compliance, and encourage collaboration with a metadata-powered catalog.

Since our launch of Qlik Talend Cloud, we have customers from all over the world choosing to use it for creating a data foundation for their business outcomes.

Qlik Talend Cloud, alongside our analytics and AI capabilities, highlights our commitment to delivering innovative solutions for our customers. As Gartner notes in its report, “vendors need to find the right balance between all-encompassing platform solutions and easily accessible point solutions to keep pace.”

We believe our end-to-end platform strikes the perfect balance, allowing our customers to rely on a single provider for their data needs — from data integration to analytics to AI — while also providing them with the flexibility of platform-agnostic solutions that integrate seamlessly with their existing data infrastructure. With support for leading environments like AWS, Snowflake, and Databricks, we offer adaptability without vendor lock-in.

As successful as our 2024 was, I’m even more excited for the year ahead. With new investments from Thoma Bravo, ADIA, and others expected in early 2025, and the strength of our roadmap across data integration, analytics, and AI, I wholeheartedly believe it’s going to be our best year yet as we continue to innovate and evolve the capabilities of our platform.
