What It Is

This site presents an enterprise-grade backup solution for Qlik Cloud and Qlik Sense, provided by Denmark-based Stretch Qonnect. The product’s goal is clear: for organizations that treat Qlik Cloud as a business-critical system, it aims to reduce the risk of accidental deletion of key content by automating backups of assets such as apps, automations, spaces, data connections, extensions, user permissions, alerts, and subscriptions.

Core Features and Architecture

The product supports scheduled automatic full backups and lets users define what should be backed up and on what schedule. The page also mentions the ability to create multiple schedules, though the number depends on the plan. It supports multi-tenant environments, making it suitable for companies with multiple Qlik tenants. In terms of deployment, it is currently described as a cloud-based tool hosted on Microsoft Azure in the customer’s region. For storage, customers can either bring their own storage or use encrypted storage within the provider’s infrastructure. On the Qlik side, configuration requires an account with access to the content being backed up; the official recommendation is to use a dedicated service account with at least developer right, while restore functionality requires additional roles.

Pricing and Service

The official website does not publish pricing, nor does it clearly offer a free tier or trial. The page repeatedly states that capabilities depend on the plan, such as multi-tenancy, built-in storage, and multiple backup schedules, suggesting a tiered subscription model, but the plan boundaries are not transparent. Initial onboarding requires contacting the sales team, while the page says self-service account creation will be available in the future. On the service side, it only mentions enterprise support, without details on SLA, response times, or support channels.

Pros and Cons

Its strengths are its vertical focus and its attention to backup and governance scenarios that are often overlooked in the Qlik ecosystem. The coverage is relatively comprehensive, especially because it includes permissions, data connections, automations, and alerts. Bring-your-own storage support is also valuable for European companies with GDPR, data residency, or internal compliance requirements. The downsides are also obvious: the website still feels like a prelaunch page, with spelling issues and placeholder text. Product maturity, actual availability, customer references, compliance certifications, and security white papers are not disclosed. Local Qlik Sense backup is only listed as planned support and should not be treated as a live capability.

Who It’s For and Access from China

This is better suited to medium and large organizations, BI platform teams, and data governance teams that use Qlik Cloud heavily and need centralized backup plus recovery from accidental deletion. Access from China cannot be determined from the text alone, and payment methods are not disclosed. For use in mainland China, buyers would still need to verify the Azure region, cross-border network performance, Qlik Cloud reachability, and invoicing/payment process in practice. Alternatives include Qlik’s native export and management capabilities, in-house scripted backups, general-purpose cloud storage backup solutions, and other Qlik governance tools.
