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.

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

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are many valuable features in this product, but probably the biggest is the customization capability it has."
"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."
"You cannot hide from the wire; all truth lives in the packets, and ExtraHop gets them to talk!"
"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."
"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."
"We have been able to improve the mean time to resolution by several hours in some cases."
"Wire data analytics."
"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted an organization where I previously worked, as it was a platform where developers, DevOps, and users could make changes together."
"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization through multiple use cases, such as warranty data refinement, where previously we struggled with identifying the number of claims related to specific products."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to deliver projects quicker, as it organizes data from across the world into a dashboard that can be managed in one single location, accelerating business decisions made by the leadership team."
"We believe that the client has improved their efficiency compared to their previous working model; they have more clarity and, above all, more control over the data."
"If I think of Foundry as being an implementation of Apache Spark and compare that to Databricks, it is easier for an organization to use Foundry."
"Combining data sources and hosting models in Palantir Foundry has helped my work because it is convenient to work in one environment rather than moving from one application to another, as Palantir Foundry allows for that one-stop shop where I can accomplish much of the work."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
 

Cons

"This solution would be improved if it had the ability to retain data longer."
"There is room for improvement in the security part. They have a new solution, ExtraHop Reveal(x), and I think it needs improvement."
"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."
"Additional out-of-the-box solutions and use cases would be nice."
"The solution could get more aggressive in the discounting of the overall cost."
"The improvement that would make the most impact would be expanding on the new EXA big data back end."
"We've had some struggles getting it to see everything that we want to see. Network visibility is something that needs to be improved."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"With Palantir Foundry, it is a part of the user tools that they provide. Their AI Assist that they use is something I have found that sometimes I get better results for when I do need help and aid."
"There is a learning curve to Palantir Foundry, and better documentation would really help because while documentation exists, not everything is covered."
"However, I observe a potential drawback concerning market trends; as software becomes more accessible with individuals developing applications independently, there is a risk posed to Palantir Foundry, which combines multiple core functionalities."
"Palantir Foundry is very accurate, but I would have doubts about its reliability because there have been instances in my current job where we experience untimely application downtime, which has impacted the business significantly, so I think reliability needs improvement."
"The Workshop application could be improved because it is not very customizable, but it is still very strong."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Regarding pricing, I heard about it, and until last year, the license was one million dollars. They have now increased this to four million dollars, which is high."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of this solution for our environment is about £650,000 ($855,000 USD) for three years."
"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."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
