Qlik Named a Leader for the 16th Consecutive Year in 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms


Qlik® today announced it has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Analytics and Business Intelligence Platforms, marking the 16th consecutive year Qlik has been positioned as a Leader in the report.

As organizations move from dashboards and reporting toward AI-assisted decision-making, analytics platforms must do more than present answers. They need to preserve business context, support trusted exploration across structured and unstructured data, and connect insight to action. Qlik Cloud Analytics is built for this shift, combining Qlik's associative analytics engine, agentic AI capabilities, automation and deployment flexibility to help enterprises make trusted data work for AI with performance and cost efficiency.

"In our opinion, 16 consecutive years as a Leader speaks to the consistency of Qlik's focus on helping customers turn complex data into better decisions, and we believe that consistency matters more as AI changes how people work with information," said Brendan Grady, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Qlik's Analytics Business Unit. "We are making analytics more intuitive, contextual and action-oriented, so teams can use AI with greater confidence and control."

Our Highlights

  • Expands predictive decision support: Qlik Predict® extends analytics with no-code machine learning, helping teams add predictive and model-driven insights alongside descriptive and diagnostic analytics.

"As we expand our use of AI in analytics, we need more than answers. We need context, traceability and the ability to act on what we find," shared Max Mosky, SVP, Strategy & Innovation, Compass Healthcare. "Qlik helps our teams explore data relationships across systems and move from insight to action with greater confidence."

Qlik sees the recognition as reflecting its continued investment in helping organizations turn trusted data into action as AI changes how people interact with information.
