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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its capability for real-time data streaming."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"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."
"It has been the platform for end to end data processing, manipulations, and reporting, greatly improved org's data reporting effort."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"It's scalable."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
 

Cons

"Amazon Data Firehose enhances our AI-driven analytics projects by providing a means to manage data streaming and delivery at any scale."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"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 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."
"I rate Palantir Foundry five out of 10. I'm ambivalent."
"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."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The one area where improvement could be made is the cost of the solution which is quite expensive."
