User features offer accessibility but documentation and technical support require enhancement
The configuration issues I face include troubleshooting that is not very helpful. I keep struggling with that and usually have to go to the Citizen data platform and the marketplace to get the answers I am looking for. The controlled logs and documentation need improvement, particularly regarding how to access class features that they do not control, and documentation in terms of customization and UI customization. Dashboarding needs significant improvement as the widgets are not very clear or usable, and there is not much documentation around it. To make Collibra Lineage better, additional features should be added to help technical users. They have improved significantly in terms of university courses in the last five years, but aspects such as AI governance and data notebook are not being promoted adequately. Data notebook is a very good feature, but there is a mismatch in the courses' speed and how quickly they are giving people the ability to learn about it.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's a user-friendly tool, even for non-technical people."
"The solution has very good online assistance."
"Basically, it's helped our organization in a myriad of ways."
"From the perspective of a data user, the solution has a great search capability."
"Provides a good view of the data and how it's being utilized, as well as calibration quality."
"On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate Collibra Data Intelligence Platform a 10."
"The most valuable features of Collibra Governance are that it is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The workflow is very good and has been embedded. It also has a great user interface."
"It has been the platform for end to end data processing, manipulations, and reporting, greatly improved org's data reporting effort."
"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."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Foundry's data visualization is fantastic."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
 

Cons

"There are certain limitations and difficulties regarding the migration of complex data quality rules, as the tool may struggle with lengthy calculations and longer loading times."
"It would be better if there was a way to import all data and metadata in an automatic way in one block form."
"Many other tools like Collibra Governance give you the option to actually see the data in the tool, which is not an option in Collibra."
"If someone changes the metadata, we can't see who changed it."
"Occasionally we get little bugs that occur, however, this is typical."
"Many other tools like Collibra Governance give you the option to actually see the data in the tool, which is not an option in Collibra."
"It would be better if features like the privacy module and AI-based Collibra DQ were included in one package instead of being separate and requiring additional costs. Currently, the basic package covers lineage and documentation, but the extra modules come at an extra cost."
"The breadth of available connectors for metadata ingestion need to grow quickly to support customers as they expand their data governance programs to include a diverse list of source systems from which they want to derive business value."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"I rate Palantir Foundry five out of 10. I'm ambivalent."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"The workflow could be improved. Although it works rather seamlessly, the workflow is too complicated sometimes."
"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."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing is moderate and not very expensive."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Many of our customers I spoke to felt that the solution is a bit highly-priced."
"It's expensive, especially for small companies."
"Collibra Governance is an expensive solution."
"Collibra Governance is extremely expensive"
"I think it is on a yearly basis, but I'm not involved with the pricing session, so I have no idea. There are several licenses for different models. You get one license per product, but a lot of features are controlled separately through different licenses. So, as and when you want to use a feature, you have to procure the license for that feature."
"The product's pricing is high, which its comprehensive features and capabilities may justify."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
