What is Qlik Sense?
Qlik Sense is a data visualization and discovery product that allows you to create flexible, interactive visualizations that lead to meaningful decisions.
What can you do in Qlik Sense?
Most Business Intelligence (BI) products can help you answer questions that are understood in advance. But what about your follow-up questions? The ones that come after someone reads your report or sees your visualization? With the Qlik Sense associative model, you can answer question after question, moving along your own path to insight. With Qlik Sense you can explore your data freely, learning at each step along the way and coming up with next steps based on earlier findings.
How does Qlik Sense work?
Qlik Sense responds instantly as you work. Qlik Sense does not require predefined and static reports, and you do not need to depend on others. Just click and learn, while Qlik Sense updates every visualization and view in the app with a newly calculated set of data and visualizations specific to your selections.
Qlik Sense Enterprise
Qlik Sense Enterprise and its underlying platform supports a wide variety of use cases. This includes self-service data visualization to empower users to explore data, guided analytics to align users to a standard business process or workflow, embedded analytics to enhance websites and applications, and custom analytic applications to support specific business processes or use cases.

Qlik Sense Enterprise on Kubernetes
Qlik Sense Enterprise on Kubernetes is an implementation of Qlik Sense Enterprise running on a Kubernetes cluster using containers. This approach allows deployments into Kubernetes clusters running in public or private clouds on customer managed infrastructures. It comes with mostly the same capabilities as Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows. The implementation of Qlik Sense Enterprise on Kubernetes can vary depending on the configuration required.
Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS
Qlik Cloud Services is Qlik's hosted platform for Qlik Sense Enterprise, empowering people of all skill levels to do more with data. Your organization may use Qlik Cloud Services independently or as part of a multi-cloud deployment.
Qlik Sense Business
Qlik Sense Business is a SaaS solution that brings the power of Qlik’s third-generation analytics platform to groups, teams, and small to medium sized businesses that want to quickly operationalize analytics and make data-driven decisions. They can easily co-develop applications, share insights, and grant groups of users access to create, edit, or interact with content.
The app model
The app is at the core of Qlik Sense.
Instead of deploying and managing huge business applications, you can create your own Qlik Sense apps that you can reuse, modify and share with others. The app model helps you ask and answer the next question on your own, without having to go back to an expert for a new report or visualization.
An app consists of one or more sheets containing visualizations. Visualizations are charts, tables and similar representations of your data together with other information. By making selections in your visualizations you can analyze the information to make your own discoveries and gain insights about your data.
The associative selection model (green/white/gray)
Discovering connections between data sets is one of the fundamental concepts in Qlik Sense. As you click, associated data values are highlighted. Selections are highlighted in green, associated data is represented in white, and excluded (unassociated) data appears in gray. This instant feedback enables you to think of new questions and continue to explore and discover.
