Users Rank Qlik Sense Top in Customer and Product Satisfaction, Project Success, and Business Value Among Large International BI Vendors in its Debut in BARC’s BI Survey 16

Takes honors in ‘query
performance’, ‘performance’, and ‘customer experience’ categories

Singapore – October 19, 2016 – Qlik®, a leader in
visual analytics, today announced that Qlik Sense®, its modern platform-based
approach to business intelligence (BI) and analytics, has ranked first in
customer and product satisfaction, customer experience, project success,
business value, query performance, and performance among large international BI
vendors in the industry’s largest independent global survey of BI users.
Qlik Sense makes its debut as a leader across 13 categories in the large
international BI vendor peer group, including: self-service, data
discovery/visualization, vendor support, price-to-value perception, performance
satisfaction, and business benefits.  QlikView®, Qlik’s proven, market-leading data
discovery solution, is top ranked in the considered for purchase category
across all peer group categories – and for the third straight year – in the
large international BI vendor peer group.

The BI Survey 16, conducted by the Business
Application Research Center (BARC), is the world’s largest independent survey
of BI end users. This is the eighth year Qlik participated in the survey and
the Company continued to have a strong showing of customer participation.
Of the respondents, Qlik customers use the solution for a broad range of
applications with a focus on visual data discovery.

“Qlik Sense is highly rated in terms of providing
business benefits to customers compared to other large international BI
vendors, making the vendor and its product set a leading driver of business
value,” said Dr. Carsten Bange, founder and CEO of BARC. “Although Qlik Sense
is still relatively young in the market, the product convinces customers by
yielding business benefits and delivering fast project implementation
cycles.  Our research shows that Qlik Sense customers give it very good
marks in ‘Innovation’ categories such as cloud BI, mobile BI, and location
intelligence.”

In addition to taking top honors among large
international BI vendors, Qlik Sense was also recognized as a leader in nine
categories among the self-service reporting-focused products peer group,
including: data discovery/visualization, self-service, innovation, considered
for purchase, customer experience, agility, and visual design standards.
Among the visual-discovery focused products peer group, Qlik Sense was hailed a
leader in eight categories, including: business value, project success, self-service,
performance satisfaction, and data discovery/visualization.  QlikView also
ranks first in the considered for purchase category in both the self-service
reporting-focused products peer group and the visual-discovery focused products
peer group.

“We have always been a disruptive force in the BI
industry, and will continue to make bold moves,” said Lars Björk, CEO,
Qlik.  “We are excited by the results of the BI Survey 16 because it shows
not only the power Qlik continues to deliver, but also because it is from our
customers’ first-hand experience.  We strive to make analytics intuitive,
easy to use and, at times, addictive.  By outperforming the competition in
key areas such as performance and customer satisfaction, we show how the Qlik
platform has become a vital part of customers’ business operations.”

The BI Survey 16 – now in its sixteenth year – is
based on findings from a global survey featuring 3,137 respondents answering a
series of detailed questions about their usage of a named product in the BI space.
The survey compares BI products in
areas including business benefits, project success, business value,
recommendation, customer satisfaction, customer experience, innovation, and
agility.  Altogether, 37 products (or groups of products) are analyzed in
detail. For more details see www.bi-survey.com
