Why Move to Qlik SaaS in 2025
Cloud acceptance is at its all-time high, and companies are increasingly adopting Qlik SaaS to leverage its powerful cloud-based analytics capabilities.
Qlik announced Qlik Sense SAAS a few years ago and with new regions it has become a compelling option which customers can choose. For customers who are looking at end to end Data Fabric Qlik is providing Qlik Talend Cloud aimed to cater to all Enterprise use cases.
This blog focuses on Analytics Cloud of Qlik and is meant for existing QlikView customers, Qlik Sense client managed (on-prem) customers and new customers who are confused by different analytics product options. Via this blog we aim to help you answer the big question “Should you make the move now or hold on for some time?”
For customers who still run QlikView, Qlik Cloud provides a seamless way to move to Qlik Sense Cloud. Since Qlik Cloud can run QlikView apps customers can immediately move their apps and take their time to migrate the apps to Qlik Sense. The licensing options are more attractive, the ROI is quick.
Many customers with heavy usage of Nprinting were earlier unable to take the plunge due to limited capabilities of Reporting. Qlik SAAS Reporting has quickly evolved providing all necessary outputs and recently Pixel Perfect Reporting too got announced. These customers should make the move now.
The flexible licensing option allows all kinds of customers to take up a suitable option, Qlik SaaS is an option to consider. Unlike many SaaS Providers who provide consumption-based billing leading to variable and often unexpected billing, Qlik SaaS with capacity licensing provides a definite outflow helping companies to plan their finances better.
With Qlik announcing that new features and capabilities to become available first on Qlik SaaS, customers who have matured in their analytics journey or the ones who want to bring in more use cases, this becomes an exciting proposition.
For customers who are still undecided, we outlay the benefits and cautions in this blog which will help you make a better decision.

MANAGE QLIK APP SLOWNESS DURING PEAK USAGE TIMES!
During Peak usage times like Monday mornings or quarter ends, business users complain about app being slow/ object taking time to load or outright not loading. What is causing the slowness hampering trust of business users?
WoWizer TPM Solution
Examine app-level CPU/RAM metrics in real time to shortlist those which need Optimization. Dig deeper with Object & Method level data.
Review user/reload activity metrics, such as session counts, active users, and app access to identify users/reloads consuming high CPU/RAM in peak times
TROUBLESHOOT QLIK SERVER DOWNTIME DUE TO UNKNOWN REASONS
When the server is down, Qlik Sense Monitoring apps become unavailable. Examining logs and diagnostic information to pinpoint the root cause of the server abnormality can be time-consuming and even impossible for large instances.
WoWizer TPM Solution
Access all logs in a single system even though Qlik server is down. Compare it with logs when Qlik Sense was operating fine, analyze errors/warnings and fix the issue with confidence.
GET ALERTS FOR FAILED QLIK RELOAD TASKS, RIM NODE or SERVICE DOWN
Reload task failures, service down leading to data refresh delays and dashboard unavailability is the nightmare of Qlik Champions!
WoWizer TPM Solution
Get alerted on potential metric thresholds even before the failure happens and take corrective action. Also get alerts for Task failures, service down in case it is not caught in preventive action.
TWEAK PERFORMANCE in REAL TIME/LOAD BALANCING
Some Qlik nodes could experience overloading, while others are underutilized. Determining whether to add more nodes or redistribute reload tasks and apps to maintain performance is a daunting task.

Get Real time performance metrics to analyze how individual reload tasks/apps are affecting node performance. Make changes and see the effect immediately during peak times. Alternatively plan larger changes with app and user level metrics available.
Plan Resource scaling and Budgeting.
TROUBLESHOOT ERRORS DUE TO WINDOWS UPDATES
Although Windows Updates are a regular phenomenon, in one off cases there could be a sudden increase in the error count within Qlik Sense. This increase often goes unnoticed until something breaks and goes in escalation mode. This is challenging for Qlik champions as the issue has happened even when no changes have been made within the Qlik Sense environment itself.
WoWizer TPM Solution
Correlate Qlik Sense logs with Windows logs and quickly identify root cause/ potential issues based on the timing of the update.
Windows logs can show system errors and warnings, while Qlik Sense logs may capture errors related to data reloads or app operations. Correlating these can pinpoint underlying issues.
