PHILADELPHIA, PA — Qlik has been positioned as a Leader in the 2025 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, marking the tenth time in the past decade the company has earned that status as enterprises race to modernize data foundations for artificial intelligence and hybrid architectures.
The recognition centers on Qlik Talend Cloud, the company’s flagship data integration platform, which combines data movement, quality, and governance in a single environment. The offering is designed to support open lakehouse architectures and AI-ready data products, a priority as organizations seek to consolidate analytics and AI on shared, trusted data.
Chief Executive Officer Mike Capone said the pace of AI adoption has shifted the competitive ground, elevating the importance of adaptable data platforms over proprietary stacks. He said Qlik’s strategy is to serve as an open, independent backbone for lakehouse and AI initiatives that can operate across clouds, models, and emerging AI assistants without locking customers into a single ecosystem.
At the core of the platform is an emphasis on moving organizations away from fragmented pipelines toward governed, reusable data products. Qlik’s tools support both real-time and bulk data movement through log-based change data capture and high-performance loaders, enabling continuous data flows for cloud migrations and hybrid deployments. The platform also offers mature transformation capabilities and a broad catalog of connectors to standardize data from diverse sources.
Qlik Talend Cloud is positioned to support open lakehouse implementations built on open table formats such as Apache Iceberg, allowing customers to publish and manage data products while retaining choice over cloud providers and analytics tools. The company is also investing in AI-driven and agentic approaches to data pipelines, aimed at automating preparation, monitoring, and optimization as data volumes and complexity grow.
Gartner’s Magic Quadrant evaluates vendors on their ability to execute and completeness of vision, making sustained leadership over a decade notable in a market defined by rapid architectural change. Qlik said its open and hybrid approach is intended to give customers control over both design and spending as they modernize data estates and expand AI use across the enterprise.
As organizations push to operationalize AI at scale, the company’s continued placement among data integration leaders highlights how foundational data infrastructure has become to competitive advantage, not just in analytics, but across the next generation of intelligent applications.
