A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The simplicity of this tool is nice. It has a good graphical user interface. You can also do a lot of generic stuff in the tool. If there is good connectivity to a cloud database, such as Snowflake, and you can have a lot of Snowflake functionality in the tool."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple."
"The product has a good user interface."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"The data lineage is great."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"There are problems with GCP connectivity. Specifically, connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex, and the optimization of the extraction process requires improvements."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The workflow could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."

"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."

"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
