Featured Reviews

Sanjay Singh Bisht - PeerSpot reviewer
Server Administrator at a outsourcing company with 51-200 employees
Hybrid data sync has minimized downtime and supports large cloud migrations efficiently
NetApp Cloud Sync is a very good product. When it comes to improvement, more detailed reporting and analytics can be available with richer dashboards for transfer performance, bandwidth usage, failed files, and historic trends. Smart handling of errors, such as clearer explanations for failed syncs and more actionable troubleshoot guidance, is needed as well. More granular scheduling and policy controls such as advanced filtering, bandwidth throttling by time of day, and finer control over sync behavior are also areas for improvement. Expanding cloud and storage integration would make it easier to connect to additional storage platforms and emerging cloud services. Lower source storage usage for the data broker and improved performance when synchronizing very large file systems containing millions of small files would be beneficial. Lastly, more automation options such as richer API and webhooks for tighter integration with infrastructure as code or DevOps workflows are also needed.

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.

Cons

"A big drawback on the NetApp side is that because we started encountering remote home workers in our infrastructure, we started to encounter multiple incidents or requests for improvement related to latency."
"When it comes to improvement, more detailed reporting and analytics can be available with richer dashboards for transfer performance, bandwidth usage, failed files, and historic trends."
"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 widgets are pretty limited."
"One way Palantir Foundry can be improved is by addressing issues with back-end changes. There were cases where changes made to Palantir Foundry would cause failures across all platforms."
"I cannot advise someone to use Palantir Foundry due to cost efficiency and the complexity it introduces in handling large amounts of data."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"Handling initial onboarding and training for Palantir Foundry has been challenging. We face difficulties in accessing resources, which prompts us to arrange training sessions with Palantir Foundry representatives."
"There is a learning curve to Palantir Foundry, and better documentation would really help because while documentation exists, not everything is covered."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
