Tools for every part of Qlik Sense
13 open source and commercial tools from Ptarmigan Labs: next to your Sense servers, on your desk, and inside your Sense apps. Plus consulting when you need a hand.
Where the tools fit
Everything here sits beside Qlik Sense or inside it. Nothing replaces it, and nothing needs Sense itself to be changed.
01 Inside your apps
Qlik Sense extensions
02 Next to your servers
Services that run beside Qlik Sense
Metrics to InfluxDB, Prometheus, New Relic or MQTT, for dashboards in Grafana. Alerts to email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, webhooks or MQTT.
03 On your desk

Qlik Sense extensions
Help, onboarding and script views, inside the apps your users already open. Most work on Qlik Cloud as well as client-managed.

Get in touchTypical engagements
Monitoring client-managed Qlik Sense
Real-time visibility into sessions, reload failures, log events and app performance, with dashboards and alerts your team will actually look at.
Migrations: QlikView, Qlik Sense, Qlik Cloud
From QlikView to client-managed Qlik Sense, or from client-managed Sense to Qlik Cloud: what to move and what to leave, the apps and scripts that need rework, and a cutover without surprises.
Training for admins and developers
Hands-on training for the people who run Qlik Sense and the people who build on it: operating the platform well, apps that stay maintainable, and the tooling that makes both easier.
Getting control of the estate
Security rules, reload chains, apps nobody owns and streams nobody remembers: an honest picture of where your Qlik Sense estate stands, and a plan to bring it under control.
