Good for application Performance Monitoring but not stable
There are two types of teams we have in every organization. One is for DevOps, and the second one is for performance testing. Those who are using these tools, like AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or whatever tool we have on the APM side. These tools are used by two teams: one is the performance team, and another one is the DevOps team. So, the setup and the alert system belong to the DevOps team, not for performance. So, I don't use any alerts in AppDynamics, Dynatrace, or any of the tools.
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

"The solution is scalable, and it is easy because all the documentation is available."
"The VPN is one of the solution's most valuable features for us."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"The solution is quite stable."
"As soon as it monitors all our systems and is integrated with PagerDuty, the operations team just needs to wait for alerts on their cellphones to fix things."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ability to execute queries and analyze the data."
"It has in-depth analysis using developer code for someone whose not traditionally a developer."
"Support for plug-ins (RMQ, Redis etc.) is a valuable feature."
"It's scalable."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"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."
"The data lineage is great."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
 

Cons

"The solution is quite expensive."
"I think that there have been some questionable product enhancements. Over a year ago, New Relic rolled out a new navigation that really disrupted our workflow."
"New Relic APM is a good tool, and it has a database of failures, but it could use a list of customer-specific failures. New Relic APM should be able to give my company advanced analytics through AI."
"The UX/UI design of New Relic APM could be improved. The solution currently has some slow pages in terms of loading and viewing the pages, for example, the reports. The reports and other pages take a long time to load."
"The solution does not provide input on how the page performs in a big group. It just says that the page performance is bad, but it does not say what can be done to improve it. If they could provide some insight or guidance on how to make improvements, that would be a big help."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"It is very difficult to award the service level cycles at an endpoint level."
"The browser isn't exactly reliable."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"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’s data security could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The monthly cost os $1000 per server per month, but it could be even more. We pay about $250 for the server, and then New Relic wants over $1000 to give us statistics on those servers."
"It would be nice if we could buy it annually instead of monthly."
"The pricing is okay comparatively their competitors. The only concern was whether it should be purchased on demand or bring your own license, and which way passes some savings onto the end customers."
"This is an expensive product."
"Cost is significant with a lot of extras."
"I recommend using the free version of New Relic. If you like the free version and understand its importance for your company, you can move to the trial. Then, you can migrate to the paid version."
"We deploy everything on AWS. Purchasing the product on AWS Marketplace made it easier for us."
"I think it's overpriced for the technical support that we get. We spent over 1,00,000 USD a year."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
