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.

Integrating third-party tools for effective data management and reporting
There are challenges with the data collector options in Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics. When I upgrade, the data collector tends to stop working, requiring me to open a case with Veritas. It takes them a long time, usually over a month, to resolve the issue, which is a pain point. I believe improving this aspect would enhance the user experience.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palantir Foundry is the future of development because it embeds multiple AI models, and the AI enabling feature is very fast and easy."
"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."
"Great features available in one tool."
"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."
"Palantir Foundry's AI capabilities, governance, and security are top tier as it is a fully locked environment and is best for government organizations where data security is a major consideration."
"From my experience, one of the best features Palantir Foundry offers is that you have everything in one ecosystem."
"Based on my experience, Palantir Foundry is extremely easy to learn and adjust to since it is primarily a closed system, meaning that all the functions for data ingestion, data cleaning, machine learning, and related tasks can be performed from within the same system."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The deduplication engine compared to Azure backups is a cost-efficient feature regarding storage."
"The most valuable feature of the product is the insight it provides on the console."
"The valuable features include getting an overview of the backup status and gaining an understanding of my backup environment."
"The scalability is great. It is one of the best advantages that I find important."
"The most valuable aspects of Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics are its reporting capabilities and the ability to integrate with third-party tools, such as an ITSM system, for automated checks on live backup statuses."
"It's helpful because I can have full visibility of my IT environment."
"My experience with the technical support by Veritas is pretty good."
"Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics is technically much simpler than many backups, which provides a competitive advantage."
 

Cons

"The Workshop application could be improved because it is not very customizable, but it is still very strong."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"Always having to work with a Palantir representative creates severe bottlenecks and increases costs, making it desirable for me as the end user to perform tasks without constant requests for support."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"From an organizational perspective, it is advisable to note that initially, the cost may be low, but as time passes, cost can be a significant factor in deciding whether to continue using Palantir Foundry or not, so those considerations should be taken into account."
"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."
"There is a learning curve to Palantir Foundry, and better documentation would really help because while documentation exists, not everything is covered."
"Palantir Foundry has a steep learning curve and onboarding."
"The solution should allow users to export data to Tableau."
"The process should be made easier."
"The technical support from Veritas is disappointing as they take a long time, often over a month or two, to resolve issues."
"During the last issue that occurred due to the counter-strike, we needed recovery instantly for a large number of machines, more than a thousand machines, and Cohesity was the best solution for us."
"The process should be made easier. It is very complicated, and there is more with NetBackup; it is very difficult for me to oversee."
"The quality of technical support has decreased over time with slower response times compared to before."
"NetBackup is not great in disaster recovery (DR) and data center to DR setup, especially in the Cloud environment. Veritas Resiliency Platform is not very handy for cloud-to-cloud, cross-platform replication."
"The documentation could be better; this should be improved."
