Tower vs Qlik Sense

Yes, Tower can fully replace Qlik Sense for most use cases. Tower provides end-to-end analytics from data connection to insights, plus adds predictive and prescriptive capabilities that Qlik doesn't offer. Tower's AI automation eliminates the need for Qlik load scripts and manual data modeling, while providing faster time-to-insights and broader analytics capabilities.

Tower analyzes your existing Qlik apps to understand data sources, relationships, and business logic. Tower's AI then recreates equivalent solutions automatically—typically in 1-2 hours versus the weeks it took to originally develop the Qlik scripts and apps. You can run both platforms in parallel during transition to ensure continuity.

Tower doesn't use set analysis expressions—its conversational AI understands business questions directly. Instead of writing set analysis formulas like 'Sum({<Year={2024}>} Sales)', you simply ask Tower 'Show me 2024 sales.' Tower's AI automatically generates optimized calculations behind the scenes. This is much easier for business users who struggle with Qlik's expression syntax.

Tower's agentic AI provides a superset of capabilities. While Qlik's associative engine helps users explore relationships through selections, Tower's AI proactively analyzes patterns, detects anomalies, predicts outcomes, and recommends actions—all automatically. Users get the exploration benefits plus predictive and prescriptive insights that aren't available in Qlik Sense.

Tower offers unlimited seats with usage-based pricing, while Qlik charges $15-$30 per user monthly. For 100+ user deployments, Tower typically costs 50-70% less. Additionally, Tower eliminates the need for Qlik developers skilled in load scripts and set analysis, saving $100K-$250K annually in specialized resource costs.
