March 16, 2023: What’s New in Qlik Cloud?

New Qlik Cloud Government support for data integration and analytics

Qlik Cloud Government introduces several features that significantly enhance the platform’s capabilities.

Qlik Talend Data Integration is now supported by Qlik Cloud Government. It is a set of data integration capabilities designed to help analytics and data engineers deliver, transform, and unify enterprise data via automated, efficient, and governed data pipelines. Although the Qlik Talend Data Integration interface and tooling is available in Qlik Cloud Government, it is not functional without a license except for the ability to create data pipelines.

Integrating data

Qlik Cloud Government now supports Direct Query. This Qlik Cloud Analytics tool can read SQL databases without importing or loading the data in memory. Direct Query gives the user more options on how they want to access their data to suit their needs. In addition, accessing the data through Direct Query allows the user to keep the data in its underlying data source. This increases the speed at which users can interact with their data in exchange for the flexibility that an in-memory Qlik Cloud app offers.

Accessing cloud databases directly with Direct Query

Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access is now available for Qlik Cloud Government. This tool can be used by Qlik Cloud Analytics app users to securely access data behind a firewall over a strictly outbound, encrypted, and mutually authenticated connection. Qlik Cloud Government supports using Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access when the Windows platform where it is installed is configured to run in a FIPS 140-2 approved mode of operation.

Qlik Data Gateway – Direct Access prerequisites and limitations

New pane for monitoring capacity consumption in the Management Console

Administrators can now monitor capacity consumption in the new Home pane in the Management Console. This gives you an overview of the consumption of users, reports, and other capacity-based resources. You can also see the capabilities that are enabled with your subscription.

Improved user management in the Management Console

The handling of user entitlements has been moved from the User allocation pane to the Users pane in the Management Console. The user entitlement is now a field associated with the user. This improves the handling of users as all administration is done in one place and you can sort and filter by status or roles. It is no longer possible to sort by entitlement type.
