Rahul -Jain - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"We are able to drill down and see what is going on in the system."
"We use it for monitoring, identifying when services go down, or when they are outside of what we would consider normal operations."
"It has a simple initial setup."
"We detect issues using dashboards that we built on New Relic."
"The product's initial setup phase was very easy."
"The tool's most valuable features were APM and core reliability. We get alerts whenever an anomaly is detected. The solution is very friendly."
"It has the ability to monitor random URLs not tied to the one pinger per application (though it costs extra)."
"The initial setup is straightforward. It is easy to track and easy to follow."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"It's scalable."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Great features available in one tool."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
 

Cons

"I would like if it could have predictive analysis. Today, we only have the option to configure thresholds."
"The monitoring is only as good as the alerts that it produces. By having it set up fine grain alerting, it is a bit of a pain."
"Compared to their competitors, they are missing some features at the moment."
"One thing I'd like to see in any APM, especially New Relic, is the ability to use distributed transactions. When one microservice calls another, it calls another database and microservice. The entire data visualization layer will not be able to correlate from one microservice from end to end and return on that path. Distributed transactions would be a great addition that would make life simpler. Unfortunately, no APM has that end-to-end capability."
"New Relic APM could improve error debugging and the correlation with the logs. We are receiving some alerts or alarms but we need to correlate with the error log, but it is difficult if it is more than seven months retention period, it is hard to trace. We need this especially for getting historical information."
"It is complicated, especially in how you interpret the data that it provides. If it had a bit more canned, out-of-the-box features, especially some of the reporting features, that would be more useful."
"The deployment process could be improved."
"There were some settings we had issues with."
"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."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"The workflow could be improved."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"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."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're paying for the New Relic APM license annually."
"The pricing model is a little confusing for beginners. They find it a little expensive, and if you are using it already, then that is not good."
"If it’s the right tool, it doesn’t matter what it costs because you’re going to get it back many-fold from your productivity."
"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 solution required a license and it is better than some other competitors."
"Purchasing through the AWS Marketplace was easy. The product is easy to deploy and manage, which is why our company purchased through the AWS Marketplace."
"The solution is priced reasonably. New Relic APM is one of the best products for me because it's economical, so anyone can easily pick it over other solutions and use it."
"The price of New Relic APM could be less expensive. We are using the New Relic APM pro account and it is more costly. When compared to competitors the solution's pricing should be much more realistic."
"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."
