Hi.
Has anyone connected Qlik to Creatio?
I see that Creatio has a REST API, but is that the preferred (or only) method to connect a BI tool such as Qlik?
We need to use Qlik to create reports for other teams that don't have Creatio access.
Thanks!

Given your extensive investment in Qlik and the need to integrate it with data from Creatio, we recommend using Creatio’s REST API over OData for this integration.
While both options are available, the REST API offers several key advantages:
1) Better performance: REST is more efficient and lightweight, especially when handling large datasets.
2) Greater flexibility: you can define exactly what data is needed and apply filtering or transformations before it's sent to Qlik.
3) While OData comes with various preconfigured options, REST allows you to easily customize the requests
OData can be used for basic, read-only access, but it's generally more rigid and less performant — especially when dealing with high-volume analytics scenarios like yours.
Have a nice day!
Hello!
Creatio does not officially support Qlik. The only way to integrate Qlik with Creatio is by using the Creatio OData or REST API.
As an alternative, we can recommend using Power BI marketplace addon: https://marketplace.creatio.com/app/microsoft-power-bi-desktop-connector-creatio
Have a nice day!
We have heavily invested in Qlik as our BI tool (and have hundreds of users). Our task is to connect finance data with the sales data we have in Creatio.
We have an IT team that can set up the connection so I assume they are familiar with connectors like REST API, but would you recommend using ODate over REST API ?
