Question 1

Is ATX AnalyticsTable a Qlik Sense alternative?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for connections, SQL querying, cleaning pipelines, dashboards and scheduled PDF and workbook reports. It differs in where it runs — on your laptop or your own Linux server — and in how it is built: SQL and a spreadsheet grid instead of a load script.

Question 2

Can ATX AnalyticsTable run on-premises or air-gapped?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The desktop app and ATX AnalyticsTable Server run on machines you control, work fully offline, and the licence validates without contacting us. Qlik Cloud is hosted by Qlik; running Qlik on your own infrastructure is arranged through Qlik sales.

Question 3

Is there a data volume limit like Qlik Cloud's capacity?

Accepted Answer

No. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no gigabyte allowance. DuckDB queries the data where it is — the published benchmark aggregates 100 million rows in 346 ms on a 16 GB laptop.

Question 4

Is ATX AnalyticsTable cheaper than Qlik?

Accepted Answer

For one analyst, yes: $100 a year against Qlik Cloud Starter from $300 a month. For a team, it depends — Qlik prices by tier and data capacity, ATX AnalyticsTable by named user or by server size, so compare both on your own numbers.

Question 5

Do I need to learn a new scripting language?

Accepted Answer

No. Queries are SQL, written by hand or produced by the visual query builder, and cleaning steps are pipelines you configure, all stored as files you can review in Git.

Question 6

Does ATX AnalyticsTable have row-level security like Qlik section access?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Since version 1.5, data-access policies decide which rows each person sees and how each column is shown — in full, masked, pseudonymised, empty or not at all — and the server enforces them on every query, export, API call and AI answer. They are set in a settings screen or a policy file, not written in a load script.
