Unified data workflows have empowered collaborative analytics and streamlined AI development
Regarding points for improvement for Palantir Foundry, I see that they are improving day by day. In the last one to two years, I have seen many improvements compared to the two years that I have worked on Palantir Foundry. There are many things that come up, but a few things are not intuitive enough. Now that we are in this AI phase, Palantir Foundry has created some wrappers around the models, allowing us to create using a no-code application, chatbots, and LLM functions. The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has. There are ways to do that, but it is not that intuitive, which is what I feel.

Offers strong integration capabilities and reliable features but needs pricing and scaling improvements
Many things are evolving with the AI buzz in the market. What I would like to see improved or enhanced in webMethods.io in the future is that since webMethods.io is already under IBM, I think IBM will introduce and integrate AI into it. Additionally, regarding what webMethods.io can improve is the license cost. Other cloud players are also providing the same kind of functionality, such as AWS and Azure. webMethods.io is being installed on-premises, but AWS is providing it directly in the cloud. When comparing the license cost and request per minute cost, webMethods.io needs to address that. There are many competitors in the market for this.

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."
"Great features available in one tool."
"It has been the platform for end to end data processing, manipulations, and reporting, greatly improved org's data reporting effort."
"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."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"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."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"Stability is pseudo-perfect."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"The product is very stable."
"​Broker and UM are the best features."
"Application integrations are offered out-of-the-box, and that is extremely important to us. This is one of the main use cases that we have for it. It is about 60 to 70 percent of the workload in our application today."
"This solution is flexible and can be used across a number of projects."
"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."
 

Cons

"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."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"A while ago, they were hacked, and it took them a very long time to open their website again in order to download any service packs or any features."
"Prices should be reduced, ideally by up to 30% for long-term customers like us."
"There should be better logging, or a better dashboard, to allow you to see see the logs of the services."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
"In general, when I compare their support with other vendors, I would not rate them high."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."
"webMethods.io lacks advanced monitoring and analytics capabilities, so my customers need to use something additional."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."
"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."
"webMethods.io Integration's pricing is high and has yearly subscription costs."
"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."
"webMethods.io is expensive. We have multiple components, and you need to pay for each of them."
"I signed a three-year deal with them. It is a yearly locked-in price for the next three years."
