Provides great data integration and takes out the complexity of building your own tech stack
Palantir Foundry builds full applications for us. We can build an end-to-end application from data ingestion and data pipelining, to application building. Early on, we built an internal application that ingested data from our ERP and BI environment that is used by around 700 users.  Palantir…

Good for importing XML files and offers good performance with increased time savings
Mostly we are receiving files in either XML or Excel and then we collect them in databases. Sometimes it's CSV and sometimes it is also Excel. Mostly, it is XML We have many regulations that we must follow, and this solution helps us manage that. There are rules that we must follow, and we get…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Great features available in one tool."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"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."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."
"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."
"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."
"You can get data from any data source with SSIS and dump it to any outside source. It is helpful. Getting, extracting, converting, and dumping data doesn't require much effort because we can do everything in the user interface. You drag and drop, then give the required input. It's intuitive."
"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."
 

Cons

"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"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."
"The workflow could be improved."
"It should have other programming languages supported as well from a scripting perspective. Currently, only C# and VB.NET are supported, which limits it to .NET. It should have Java support as well."
"Video training would be a helpful addition."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
