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.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features Palantir Foundry offers include the semantic layer providing schema-level understanding about the data, low-code and no-code integration for ease without coding in the pipeline builder, AI Assist for assistance, Ontology for digital twin relationships, branching in pipeline level and Foundry branching for better management, zero-copy architecture for querying without massive data, data lineage for troubleshooting, and security changes that can be made in the pipeline builder and Ontology Workshop."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The data lineage is great."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"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."
"Compared to other SaaS tools, Palantir Foundry is definitely a time-saver, though I do not have specific metrics to share."
"From my experience with Palantir Foundry, the most useful feature is its no-code, low-code environment, allowing me to develop applications without extensive coding, unlike my past as an Oracle developer where I had to write code for various functions."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"Customer support should definitely be a concern, especially for the dev tier account I have been using, while for a corporate account, it is pretty good."
"I believe that the AI or agent needs improvement because sometimes we face difficulties when looking for solutions, and when we ask the agent, AIP, it does not understand our queries and occasionally provides wrong solutions."
"I cannot advise someone to use Palantir Foundry due to cost efficiency and the complexity it introduces in handling large amounts of data."
"I would add that live data streaming is very hard and it keeps breaking, so it is not very stable and depends a lot on the satellite network."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"For example, exporting data from Palantir Foundry is very difficult and has many limitations."
"One challenge regarding how Palantir Foundry can be improved is the learning curve."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
