Is Qlick Sense availabe for on-prem hosting or only Cloud version is supported?

[sherzodbek_abdurasulov]

Hi, 

Our company has showed an interest in learning Qlick Sense and it compatablity for our business needs. I have acquired 30-day trial at product's website for Qlick, but it was Qlick Cloud and I could not connect it to our local Oracle Database since it can't 'see' it and throwing TNS Connection timeout error. 

I wanted to know if there is any Qlick Sense version for managing it on-prem so that our administrators could install it on our local servers and we could test it on our actual data? Reason is, if only cloud is available, most of our clients won't be able to use it because of their internal security policy.

Best regards,

Hi @sherzodbek_abdurasulov ,

In order to be able to "see" your local database, you will need to install a Data Gateway for Direct Access in your local environment and use that to connect from Qlik Cloud. The Gateway will allow access to your local database.

While Qlik Sense Enterprise is also available as a fully client-managed version, it's the Cloud version the one that has the most advanced new features. So, we recommend that you stay on Qlik Cloud and use the Data Gateway. 
Should the installation of a fully-client managed version be a requirement, you can reach out to your account manager or to the nearest sales department (https://www.qlik.com/us/contact)

Hope this helps!

Hi!

The version you are refering to is called "Qlik Sense Enterprise on Windows".

You can find the Windows installer here: https://github.com/qlik-download/qlik-sense-server/releases/download/v14.129.6/Qlik_Sense_setup.exe

But you need to talk to a Qlik Sales Representative to get a test license for this.

If you still want to use Qlik SaaS, you need to configure the Qlik Data Gateway to access your Oracle Database. Here the help information: https://help.qlik.com/en-US/cloud-services/Subsystems/Hub/Content/Sense_Hub/Gateways/setting-up-gate...

Thank you both for detailed answers and apologies for not doing  adeep research on this topic, I was really confused at first but now I will try to configure and use Data Gateway to connect to our local database. If we can convince our clients that cloud is safe in terms of security then we won't need a client-managed version
