Data Products for Analytics
Qlik launches Data Products for Analytics across Premium and Enterprise SaaS, enabling trusted data products and quality features in analytics workflows. Discoverable via unified browsing, with governance, OData APIs, AI-assisted descriptions, and the Qlik Trust Score for faster, trusted insights.
February 24, 2026
Data Products for Analytics
Data Products and Data Quality are now available in Qlik Talend Cloud Premium, Qlik Cloud Analytics Premium, Qlik Cloud Analytics Enterprise, and Qlik Sense Enterprise SaaS (capacity-based and user-based subscriptions). With this update, trusted data products can be accessed and used directly within analytics workflows.
Data products and data quality features within Analytics
New entry points are now available in the Analytics Activity Center, providing faster access to trusted data products:
- Data Products: Data product managers can create and manage data products, referencing governed datasets, including documentation, lineage, and ownership. They can enable data access through OData-compliant APIs, leverage AI to generate descriptions and validation rules, and, if enabled, use MCP tools for data product management. Like a real product, they can control the lifecycle, from activation for consumption to deactivation when no longer meeting business needs.
- Data Marketplace: Data consumers can discover available data products and assess readiness before using them in analytics assets.
- Data Quality: Data product teams can configure semantic types, validation rules, and the Qlik Trust Score™, which are leveraged in data products and datasets for quality profiling and trust assessment.
Seamless data consumption across analytics workflows
Analytics users can now easily use data products and datasets when creating new analytics assets, including applications, data preparation assets (scripts, data flows or table recipes) and ML experiments. This enables a seamless transition from data discovery to actionable insights with just a few clicks.
Unified data browsing experience
A renewed and unified Select Data dialog is now available across analytics workflows, surfacing data products, the data marketplace, the Qlik Trust Score™, and data quality indicators, helping users select data with confidence.
