Great for identifying application interdependencies with helpful support but needs better visualizations
We're just trying to identify the application interdependencies, which normally reside on different servers, including web servers, database servers, enterprise service bus, et cetera, up to your presentation layer before we start moving stuff around. Normally, the reason why we use these tools is to understand what assets we have, where they're deployed, and how they enter and operate before we decide to go move something from point A to point B. The solution is going to allow me to establish a wave or migration plan where you have different waves of migration and then you actually have move groups to try and get your application moved from A to B seamlessly. A to B could be on-premise to on-premise. It could be on-premise to cloud. Et cetera. The solution can tell me what components can I deploy, for example, into a cloud space, without having to refactor my applications since that can be quite time-consuming and costly.

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

"ExtraHop came out with the best price, and I think that it gives us a broader view of our network."
"Not only can you look at the protocol import level. It also has a live PCAP analysis."
"This solution is more applications reference architecture focused. Its benefit is that it specializes in that space."
"The most valuable feature is the way it handles data, from Layer 2 up to Layer 7. We can see everything that happens in the network."
"We have been able to improve the mean time to resolution by several hours in some cases."
"It's a must-have solution for large IT Operations, providing the ability to analyze infrastructure and application-related performance and data from the wire perspective."
"This is a must-try product."
"Wire data analytics."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"Foundry's data visualization is fantastic."
"It has been the platform for end to end data processing, manipulations, and reporting, greatly improved org's data reporting effort."
"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."
"Great features available in one tool."
 

Cons

"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"Additional out-of-the-box solutions and use cases would be nice."
"They either have to go broad or decide what their bread and butter is and get really good at that."
"I would improve the Rule-Based Access Control (RBAC) by providing granular access control to the data."
"There is room for improvement in the security part. They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"We'd like to see a local presence within the region in order to have seamless service whether it's the support, the implementation, or professional services."
"Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"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."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"I rate Palantir Foundry five out of 10. I'm ambivalent."
"The one area where improvement could be made is the cost of the solution which is quite expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is higher than other solutions, but with such good features, I think it's worth it."
"The pricing is fair considering the value provided."
"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
