Why Companies Replace NPrinting
Qlik NPrinting was built for an on-premises world
Many organizations originally implemented Qlik NPrinting to automate reporting from Qlik dashboards. However, reporting requirements have evolved, and businesses increasingly need more flexible and scalable reporting solutions.
As organizations migrate to Qlik Cloud, its limitations become critical blockers for modern BI reporting workflows.
Common reasons companies look for a Qlik NPrinting alternative include:
No hybrid and no Qlik Cloud support
NPrinting cannot connect to Qlik Sense SaaS. Organizations migrating to the cloud must find an NPrinting alternative or maintain costly legacy on-prem infrastructure indefinitely.
Complex setup and ongoing maintenance
Deploying NPrinting requires dedicated Windows servers, IIS configuration, and frequent patching. Each upgrade introduces risk and consumes scarce IT resources that could be spent on analytics.
Rigid report templates with no personalization
NPrinting locks reports into fixed templates that cannot be adapted per recipient. Business users have no way to adjust filters, select their own data segments, or choose the level of detail – every variation requires the BI team to build a separate template from scratch.
Vizlib and Qlik extension rendering gaps
Popular Qlik Sense extensions – Vizlib heat maps, finance reports, custom charts – are not always rendered correctly by NPrinting , limiting report fidelity and forcing workarounds.
Limited output flexibility
Rigid export formats and delivery channels. No native support for modern destinations like Teams, Microsoft SharePoint or cloud storage.
Locked into a single data source
NPrinting only works within the Qlik ecosystem. Teams also using Power BI, Snowflake, Databricks, or SQL databases need a separate reporting tool – or constant manual workarounds.
