What is our primary use case?
My main use case for Palantir Foundry is to build complete end-to-end workflows. I have worked on different POCs, a couple of POC projects, and some company projects with various scenarios. I have completed all the certifications, all the trainings, and most of the examples I have built on Palantir Foundry. I dive deep into Palantir Foundry and its architectural design to learn more, so I have covered most of its applications and I understand it well.
I can tell you about my personal project because the company project I cannot share with you. I have built my own finance OS where I manage all my finance transactions, my income, my expenses, and my budgets. I set my budgets and track all these things using Pipeline Builder, Ontology Manager, AIP Logic, Code Repo, Workshop modules, Automations, workflow diagram, and workflow lineage.
Using Palantir Foundry has helped me manage and build my finance OS because it is far easier. I got my records using AI agents and gained deep insights into my expense habits, my category-based expenses, and I also have a dashboard where I can see different graphs that show my expense and income records.
I would like to add that my main use case with the expense management is significant to my overall workflow.
What is most valuable?
In my experience, the best features Palantir Foundry offers include the Ontology Manager, which is one of the best tools. Process mining, which is called Machinery in Palantir Foundry, makes it very efficient and quick to track the status, and it is very easy to visualize everything. The third one is Quiver, which allows me to analyze the data and plot some graphs and insights in graphical form, making it very easy compared to other software. Additionally, the embedded AI agents are great, with a vast variety of models available, and we can also train our own model. The OSDK part is really very good because we can also create React applications, and with the help of AI, we can create websites entirely through coding. Lastly, there is FVE, which helps a lot in Palantir Foundry configurations and creating things.
Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization and personal projects by enabling very fast software development. We totally work on Palantir Foundry in my organization, so I have worked on many POCs and also analyzed that development in Palantir Foundry is very rapid and can be done easily, as it is not far more complex.
I have seen specific outcomes, such as saving a lot of my time using a no-code environment in most of the POCs, and Palantir Foundry helped me to build things faster. Creating visualizations and agents is far easier and quicker in Palantir Foundry. Embedding AI agents also helps, and making continuous changes is easier because it supports branching.
What needs improvement?
Palantir Foundry can be improved as Ontology Manager, while being a very advanced and useful tool, needs some fixing. In the actions, we do not have much leverage, and if we want something complex at another level, we have to go with Code Repos and other options. I suggest updating the features to create things with more flexibility. Additionally, AIP Logic has limited access, and we cannot do all the things inside AIP Logic, leading us to sometimes have to go for the code repo for a specific task. My suggestion is to also improve the AIP Logic tool.
I would like to add that widgets are something that could be improved.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Palantir Foundry for approximately one and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
I choose eight out of ten because the software still needs a lot of updates to make it stable, and today, it is not stable.
What other advice do I have?
I have mostly worked on the dev environment, so I do not have knowledge about the paid, enterprise-level applications that are not enabled in the dev environment. According to me, Autopilot is one new feature in Palantir Foundry that enables the user to view things in a very convenient mode. I would also like to say that the Ontology Manager itself is very unique and new; it is like a database, a DBMS, but it is different from DBMS.
My advice to others looking into using Palantir Foundry is that it is the new technology and rapidly growing technology. It is the future of development because it embeds multiple AI models, and the AI enabling feature is very fast and easy. It supports no-code plus AI-enabled coding features, has a vast variety of connectors, and a variety of tools to build a project quickly and rapidly without more employee cost. Therefore, I suggest everyone, my colleagues, and my friends to learn Palantir and use it. Palantir Foundry is built to handle a massive amount of data and can run very large operations, such as airports and complete government systems.
My overall review rating for Palantir Foundry is eight out of ten.
