Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Smooth integration and enhanced deployment with high licensing cost
webMethods.io was used to integrate APIs through the webMethods.io platform, trigger database events, and connect backend APIs through a Java backend. It was used extensively for integration purposes in my organization Integration became smoother, troubleshooting was easier, and deployment and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The data lineage is great."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"It's scalable."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."
"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."
"The development is very fast. If you know what you're doing, you can develop something very easily and very fast."
"It's easy to construct new interfaces like apps and client portals."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"It is good for communicating between the systems and for publishing and subscribing. We can easily retrieve data. It is good in terms of troubleshooting and other things."
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."
 

Cons

"The solution's visualization and analysis 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 startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"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."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"
"The product must add more compatible connectors."
"Version control is not very easy. The packages and the integration server are on Eclipse IDE, but you can't compare the code from the IDE. For example, if you are working on Java code, doing version control and deployment for a quick comparison between the code isn't easy. Some tools or plug-ins are there, such as CrossVista, and you can also play with an SVN server where you have to place your package, and from there, you can check, but you have to do that as a separate exercise. You can't do it from the IDE or webMethods server. You can't just right-click and upload your service."
"Some things could be improved, especially how ActiveTransfer handles third-party file transfers. It would be nice to have a native file-watching mechanism for when you're scheduling jobs with a third-party scheduler. Currently, we are using an outside file watcher solution to check the files before the file transfer. It checks the location to see if the file is there. If the file is there, it will prepare it for transfer. If the file isn't available, it will send an email it can create a ticket send it now. We recommended adding this file watcher mechanism."
"Scalability and connectors to different cloud applications is lacking."
"It could be more user-friendly."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"One area that needs improvement is the version upgrade process. Many customers I've worked with encounter challenges when transitioning from their current version, such as x or 9, to a newer version. The process is not smooth, and they must shift their entire website."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"The product is expensive."
"It is a cost-effective solution."
"Some of the licensing is "component-ized," which is confusing to new users/customers."
"It is expensive, but we reached a good agreement with the company. It is still a little bit expensive, but we got a better deal than the previous one."
"Sometimes we don't have a very clear idea what the licensing will entail at first, because it can be very customizable. On one hand, this can be a good thing, because it can be tailored to a specific customer's needs. But on the other hand it can also be an issue when some customer asks, "What's the cost?" and we can't yet give them an accurate answer."
