Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The main benefit is that the solution is low maintenance. Moreover, it's the license cost is very low because it's part of the package. The maintenance is standard maintenance. And the updates are regular. So there's a regular update and you can choose whether you want to do those updates or not."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
 

Cons

"The major hindrance with Palantir Foundry is that being a very closed product, the cost optimization and costing are not exposed to the end users."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The solution could be more scalable."
