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.

Diverse integration options support workflow automation while pricing and support need improvements
You can build similar or dependent automations in one Zap, which helps with understanding the process without switching between different records. I would appreciate quicker response times and more direct interactions. It would be great to have a direct contact person for support, but bigger companies usually have solution partners handling support. I do not have a solution partner for Zapier due to using it for small use cases.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data lineage is great."
"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."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Based on my huge experience with Palantir Foundry, I find that starting from the data connection to the end user application, there is a tool for everyone."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"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."
"Zapier is user-friendly and most information is available within the page for specific automation."
"Zapier's interface, for me, is the solution's greatest value proposition. It is designed and developed for people who don't have a clue about what they're trying to do. It has a very user-friendly interface."
"I recommend Zapier because there is demand and it is easy to use."
"Zapier handles everything under the sun that you would think you need in automation. It is the most mature integration platform and service on the market."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"Zapier is the tool with the most connectors and has been quite forward in that case."
"The ability to connect web applications to trigger actions in another app after having enriched, formatted, delayed, grouped, and filtered is really valuable for many businesses."
 

Cons

"The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has."
"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."
"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."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation."
"To make it a complete BPM solution, the UI component needs significant enhancement."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
"Being able to share Zaps and organize them with teammates would allow sharing and refining scenarios and even combining steps that require different people's credentials."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"It can be challenging to get timely responses as they typically answer questions after a long period, sometimes taking up to a month to respond."
"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's very straightforward licensing. There's only one cost you have to pay, and if you want a relevant pricing plan, I think you have two or three different models or packages which include the number of notifications or Zaps, as they call it, that you can program."
"The product is reasonably priced."
"The least expensive plan is $24 a month, and you can go all the way to $800 a month if you're a huge company using many tasks."
"The price of Zapier is approximately $75 monthly."
"There is a free plan that is, of course, limited. However, it allows you to understand and check true scenarios for a while."
"Zapier's price is good."
"Per task, there is a monthly plan involving 15 euros...Also, in different forms, they just give you the ability to use different features. They charge 18.58 euros for the first standard plan, which includes 750 tasks. So, it is about 25 cents per task."
"It's very affordable."
