Qlik named a Leader in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools for the 11th time

Gartner has once again named Qlik a Leader in its Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, published on 2 November 2026. It is the eleventh time Qlik has received this position in the report.

What was evaluated?

Gartner positions vendors in the Magic Quadrant on two axes: Ability to Execute and Completeness of Vision. For Qlik, Gartner evaluated three products: Qlik Talend Cloud, Talend Data Fabric and Qlik Replicate.

What does this mean for Qlik customers?

A Magic Quadrant reflects the assessment of Gartner’s analysts. It doesn’t tell you whether a tool fits your organisation. If you already use Qlik for data integration, or are considering it.

Where Qlik puts its focus:

• Current data from source systems. With log-based change data capture (CDC), Qlik streams changes in real time from systems such as SAP and IBM mainframes. According to Qlik, this has minimal impact on the source systems. Analytics and AI applications work with today’s data instead of an overnight batch.
• Data quality inside the pipeline. Qlik Talend Cloud combines integration with data quality, data contracts and lineage. The Qlik Trust Score shows how far a dataset can be trusted. Stewardship workflows help resolve issues instead of only flagging them.
• An open lakehouse. Qlik Open Lakehouse stores data in Apache Iceberg tables and optimises them automatically. Because the format is open, you can use the same data on other platforms, including Snowflake through zero-copy mirroring, without moving it.
• Agentic data engineering. Since June 2026, capabilities have been generally available that let you discover data assets, assess quality and manage governed data products, with human oversight.
