Finds security and customization features impressive, although cost concerns persist
My experience with Palantir Foundry and Azure has been good. Palantir Foundry is costly, but Azure is open, which allows for easier experimentation. Being a closed product, Palantir Foundry is difficult to practice offline unless we have an enterprise edition. However, it is very secure compared to other platforms. Palantir Foundry's best features include security, built-in features, low-code, no-code platform, and ease of use. The collaborative workspaces within Palantir Foundry contribute to team efficiency and project outcomes through seamless operation. The ease of customization is particularly notable. I have worked with the data lineage feature in Palantir Foundry, which comes by default. We simply need to tick the checkbox and make necessary configuration changes within the system itself. We do not need to procure another lineage platform as Palantir Foundry has its own built-in features for data lineage, data governance, and data security. The lineage feature helps enhance our data management practices by allowing us to understand the origin of data, track all activities happening on the data, identify users and consumers, and monitor how it flows across the system. This makes it easier to generate reports based on the lineage database. 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. Using the AIP library within Palantir Foundry helps us develop quick resolutions for predictive models and analytics.

Has supported building flexible data pipelines and streamlined ETL orchestration
There should be a dedicated support team for Talend Open Studio. We do have a support team, but at times it is critical for us to fix certain things within one or two hours. Usually, the support team takes some 12 hours, which is the standard edition of support. If we could have round-the-clock support, we would be able to resolve many issues which we encounter during the development part. The initial setup for Talend Open Studio is a little complex. We need to have a dedicated person who has an understanding of Talend Open Studio as a tool. It takes some level of expertise, so it is not an easy process, but once we have a dedicated associate who is knowledgeable in that particular field, it becomes comparatively easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The virtualization tool is useful."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"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 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."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
 

Cons

"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The workflow could be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"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 solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
