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

"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"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."
"The data lineage is great."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"The main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program."
"The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
 

Cons

"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The workflow 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 would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"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 price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"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 solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway."
 

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."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"It is an open-source product."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"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."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
