Tolulope A. Adeniji - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides application integration and reduces time and effort during upgrades
One of the most valuable aspects was its impact on reducing time and effort during upgrades. Previously, SAP upgrades required significant coordination with multiple teams. Now, thanks to our streamlined integration approach, the SAP team interacts primarily with the integration team. When changes are needed, we simply create a new version. This allows application teams to migrate gradually from the old version to the new one, without extensive involvement from the SAP team. Moreover, our approach has improved reliability by eliminating duplicated efforts. Previously, different teams would often duplicate data sets due to inefficiencies in data naming conventions. We centralized data integration, ensuring that all applications use the same data set.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"API management."
"Whenever we need some support in our local language, we get it easily. They also have an office in Germany and if a person is unable to contact them by phone, they can go to the office in person."
"The use of ACK is valuable."
"The solution is scalable, and its performance is quite good."
"The platform's cloud integration capabilities are good."
"Mule Anypoint Platform's valuable features are its flexibility in terms of deployment and its SaaS capabilities."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is a huge list of available connectors for a lot of different platforms, which we can use very easily."
"The solution's market place for different kinds of integration platforms is the most valuable feature."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"It's scalable."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"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."
 

Cons

"This becomes an expensive solution over time."
"It would be better if we had a clearer view of the solution's future releases."
"It doesn't work well when you try using it for the processing layer."
"Anypoint MQ could improve the user interface."
"One area for improvement is the Community Hub or developer portal, which should be part of the base offering."
"The terms of use and how it's priced has become very difficult to manage, which is forcing us to look for alternatives already - and we haven't even been using it for that long just yet."
"The solution's licensing methodologies could be improved."
"Mule Anypoint Platform should improve its pricing. In my experience, a customer using the sandbox version couldn't upgrade to the final version because it exceeded their budget. Another area for improvement is the login mechanism. We need to integrate with third-party products for strong authentication, but it would be better if MuleSoft had its own robust login mechanism."
"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."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"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."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Mule Anypoint Platform is an expensive solution."
"Regarding pricing, I believe there could be room for improvement to align with user expectations."
"MuleSoft Anypoint Platform really needs to work on its pricing model because it's very complicated."
"Mule is not the cheapest integration platform out there, but it deserves the price we are paying."
"Licensing can be complex as is the case with most iPaaS/cloud offerings."
"I rate the product price a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The pricing of our solution is highly competitive. While it may not be categorized as exceptionally low, it is certainly more affordable compared to IBM."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is affordable."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
