Unified data workflows have empowered collaborative analytics and streamlined AI development
Regarding points for improvement for Palantir Foundry, I see that they are improving day by day. In the last one to two years, I have seen many improvements compared to the two years that I have worked on Palantir Foundry. There are many things that come up, but a few things are not intuitive enough. Now that we are in this AI phase, Palantir Foundry has created some wrappers around the models, allowing us to create using a no-code application, chatbots, and LLM functions. The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has. There are ways to do that, but it is not that intuitive, which is what I feel.

Automation has transformed daily operations and now delivers faster, more accurate data flows
The best features in SnapLogic are the drag-and-drop interface which makes it easy to build data and application flows. No heavy coding is required, making it ideal for both technical and non-technical users. SnapLogic also offers pre-built snaps, real-time and batch processing, API management and integration, cloud and hybrid support, dashboarding and monitoring, error handling and retry mechanisms, scalability, security and governance, and transformation capabilities with built-in functions to clean and transform data, expressions, aggregations, and mappings. SnapLogic offers auto-mapping and smart schema detection as additional features. SnapLogic can detect schemas automatically, which helps when sources evolve or change, and this matters because there is less manual mapping work.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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."
"Great features available in one tool."
"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."
"It's scalable."
"Based on my huge experience with Palantir Foundry, I find that starting from the data connection to the end user application, there is a tool for everyone."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"The solution could improve its API management."
"One of the best features SnapLogic offers is its user-friendly interface."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"What I found most valuable in SnapLogic is the ETL feature, particularly the Transform Snap Pack, for example, any kind of reading or writing on Transform Snaps. Other than that, all the third-party connectivity tools such as the SAP Snap Pack, Salesforce Snap Pack, Workday Snap Pack, even the ServiceNow Snap Pack, I find all those are pretty useful in SnapLogic."
"Despite having no prior experience in SnapLogic, we managed to build, test, and prepare it for release in just three hours, handling heavy data efficiently."
"My teams can connect to new partners and data sources in hours, not days."
"It is a stable solution."
 

Cons

"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"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."
"The setup cost would be four or five. There would be only one point of improvement if the price could be lower."
"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."
"Connecting to data behind enterprise firewalls has been tricky, but for reasons that SnapLogic cannot always control."
"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."
"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."
"I find the learning curve for complex transformations, the debugging experience, performance optimization visibility, cost for small teams, and version control and DevOps integration could be improved in SnapLogic."
"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."
"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"
"The pricing is okay."
"It is a higher initial cost than other easy-to-use integration apps."
"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."
"I used the free trial."
"The license model is based on consumption."
"They have pricing/usage tiers that are easy to move up or down."
