PALANTIR DATA ENGINEER at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
Unified healthcare pipelines have improved data trust and accelerated operational decisions
One challenge regarding how Palantir Foundry can be improved is the learning curve. Foundry has a very broad ecosystem with Ontology, Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, and AI integrations. For new engineers or business users onboarding, it can take time, especially if they are coming from more traditional data platforms. Better documentation, simplified onboarding paths, and more beginner-friendly examples would help accelerate adoption. Another area is debugging complexity. While lineage and monitoring are strong features, troubleshooting deeply interconnected pipelines can still become difficult in a large enterprise environment. Sometimes error logs and pipeline failure messages could be more descriptive or developer-friendly, especially for distributed PySpark jobs. Another pain point is customization limitations in certain UI-driven components. While low-code tools are great for rapid development, highly customized workflows sometimes still require engineering workarounds or deeper technical implementation. The platform is extremely capable, but improvements around usability, debugging experience, DevOps flexibility, and ecosystem openness would make it even more effective for enterprise engineering teams.
Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
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

"In my experience, the best features Palantir Foundry offers are its usefulness for all levels of people from analysts to product managers to software engineers."
"Palantir Foundry has reduced a very good amount of time to implement a data pipeline and process the data within four hours."
"The scalability of Palantir Foundry is the part that I love the most."
"Palantir Foundry makes data reporting easier and reduces time in data gathering and reporting, where what would usually take about a day and a half of data gathering and reporting I have ultimately reduced to about 20 minutes."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization by increasing the operational throughput of the yard, which focuses on building new ships or repairing existing ones."
"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization mainly by consolidating our data management, so we do not need multiple accounts for different applications and can keep all our data within Palantir Foundry while accessing all applications from there without moving data between locations."
"Foundry's data visualization is fantastic."
"The initial setup is easy."
"This solution is one of the most stable integration SAP products that you could possibly have."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"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."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"The performance of data processing has increased."
"The solution is working well; we don't have any operational problems with it at all."
 

Cons

"Palantir Foundry's stability is sometimes good and sometimes not; there are blunders and issues."
"Handling initial onboarding and training for Palantir Foundry has been challenging. We face difficulties in accessing resources, which prompts us to arrange training sessions with Palantir Foundry representatives."
"I would add that live data streaming is very hard and it keeps breaking, so it is not very stable and depends a lot on the satellite network."
"Palantir Foundry can be improved by providing more third-party application support and more support for the Ontology software development kit to develop more native applications rather than just web applications."
"For example, exporting data from Palantir Foundry is very difficult and has many limitations."
"I think much of the work within Palantir Foundry is still manual, so I might want to write certain automations or develop conversational interfaces rapidly."
"Customer support should definitely be a concern, especially for the dev tier account I have been using, while for a corporate account, it is pretty good."
"Palantir Foundry needs more resources to understand and train new, incoming resources to understand the basic knowledge of the entire platform."
"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."
"We have experienced latency and reliability issues when using large amounts of data."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"The solution needs to move to the cloud."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"The solution could be more scalable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
