The platform is extremely capable, but improvements around usability, debugging experience, DevOps flexibility, and ecosystem openness would make it even more effective for enterprise engineering teams.

reviewer2846265

PALANTIR DATA ENGINEER at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees

I want to build conversational BI or conversational agents quickly that can connect to MCPs, and other MCPs that I can communicate with in Palantir Foundry, which are areas to advance forward.

Nilesh Lahoti

Principal Architect at HCLTech

An improvement would be that in case of any changes done by the Palantir team, those changes need to be tested thoroughly so there are no downstream impacts, ensuring that the business is not affected by any modifications in the system.

Its high initial pricing can be intimidating, but it becomes cost-effective as it reduces the need for a development team.

Fred_Lee

Enterprise Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees

In terms of getting a contractor to work on that, I would probably say it is more expensive because there are fewer people with that skillset compared to, say, Databricks or Azure.

reviewer2845668

Data Development Manager at a healthcare company with 5,001-10,000 employees

We can consult it in the right way regarding Palantir Foundry use, as it is still a gray area right now concerning costing.

Featured Reviews

Wisdom Mbiza

Product Engineer at Absa Group

Modern tools have boosted mainframe file extraction speed and simplified everyday workflows

I definitely think BMC AMI DevX could be improved or enhanced in terms of the logging in features. BMC AMI DevX's logging in feature is not so great. Whenever you try to log in, it always prompts you for passwords. Then when you have to switch sessions, because we usually have to switch between production and UAT, there's no quick way of switching between the two. Every time you try to switch, it prompts you to log in. Additionally, there's a pop-up that I always receive. When you click X on it, it doesn't disappear. Eventually, I just end up minimizing it. Furthermore, the startup of BMC AMI DevX takes a long time to start up before it loads. It doesn't just immediately start up and it's ready. It takes a good solid two to three minutes before it's ready so that you can work on it. BMC AMI DevX's logins and the other ones I can understand because security has to be there, but I do feel that once I've logged in, I shouldn't need to log in again. The startup problem is the annoying one because if I want to do something, I need to open it two or three minutes earlier to give it time to load up. The startup problem is the one that definitely needs to be addressed.

Unified healthcare pipelines have improved data trust and accelerated operational decisions

One challenge regarding how Palantir Foundry can be improved is the learning curve. Foundry has a very broad ecosystem with Ontology, Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, and AI integrations. For new engineers or business users onboarding, it can take time, especially if they are coming from more traditional data platforms. Better documentation, simplified onboarding paths, and more beginner-friendly examples would help accelerate adoption. Another area is debugging complexity. While lineage and monitoring are strong features, troubleshooting deeply interconnected pipelines can still become difficult in a large enterprise environment. Sometimes error logs and pipeline failure messages could be more descriptive or developer-friendly, especially for distributed PySpark jobs. Another pain point is customization limitations in certain UI-driven components. While low-code tools are great for rapid development, highly customized workflows sometimes still require engineering workarounds or deeper technical implementation. The platform is extremely capable, but improvements around usability, debugging experience, DevOps flexibility, and ecosystem openness would make it even more effective for enterprise engineering teams.
