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.

Comprehensive visibility satisfies needs but instant recovery is essential
I would recommend that they implement instant mass recovery because in Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics, it takes a very long time. 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. Management gained more confidence that in the future, we will go with Cohesity instead of Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics. I would still recommend Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics to others. They should implement new features which other competitors are offering to customers.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization, especially Airbus, as we are dependent on Palantir Foundry for processing the data."
"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 best features Palantir Foundry offers are the ease of use and the availability of all the different functionalities in a single space, making it a very convenient application to use for varying different purposes such as the workflow I mentioned."
"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to deliver projects quicker, as it organizes data from across the world into a dashboard that can be managed in one single location, accelerating business decisions made by the leadership team."
"In terms of improvements, it helped us improve our data migration timelines by approximately 60 percent and improved the data accuracy and addressed the issues upfront by approximately 85 percent."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Palantir Foundry has dramatically helped us in terms of project costing because earlier we had our own React developers team from offshore, and now with the AIP capabilities launched on the platform, we have completely avoided the need for a dedicated team, which has been very helpful in terms of cost management and reducing team size."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"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 deduplication engine compared to Azure backups is a cost-efficient feature regarding storage."
"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."
"Veritas NetBackup IT Analytics is technically much simpler than many backups, which provides a competitive advantage."
"My experience with the technical support by Veritas is pretty good."
"The scalability is great. It is one of the best advantages that I find important."
"It's helpful because I can have full visibility of my IT environment."
 

Cons

"Regarding documentation, I find that when I face issues, the outdated documentation is not helpful; for example, while trying to create a webhook to fetch SharePoint metadata, I found available resources lacking relevance, needing significant updates to assist users properly."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"As a developer, I find the limited documentation and less resource availability restrictive compared to other options such as AWS."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"However, Palantir Foundry's license fees comparative to others are quite high."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The process should be made easier."
"The quality of technical support has decreased over time with slower response times compared to before."
"The technical support from Veritas is disappointing as they take a long time, often over a month or two, to resolve issues."
"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 process should be made easier. It is very complicated, and there is more with NetBackup; it is very difficult for me to oversee."
"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 solution should allow users to export data to Tableau."
