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.
Sahil Taneja - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy matching and reconciliation of data
The initial setup was easy for the data warehousing concept. But for a person who is new to ETL and warehousing concepts, it may take some time. If someone is familiar with these concepts, they could understand and learn the tool quickly. However, compared to other tools, the UI is complex. It would be helpful to have a better UI and documentation for new users. As of now, there is a challenge in learning the Compose tool for new users altogether. Qlik Compose was deployed on-premises. But the servers, like the SQL servers were maintained on the cloud—the managed instances.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Great features available in one tool."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"It's scalable."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."
"It can scale."
"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
"It's a stable solution."
"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."
"I like modeling and code generation. It has become a pretty handy tool because of its short ideation to delivery time. From the time you decide you are modeling a data warehouse, and once you finish the modeling, it generates all the code, generates all the tables. All you have to do is tick a few things, and you can produce a fully functional warehouse. I also like that they have added all the features I have asked for over four years."
"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good."
"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
 

Cons

"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"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."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"The solution has room for improvement in the ETL. They have an ETL, but when it comes to the monitoring portion, Qlik Compose doesn't provide a feature for monitoring."
"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."
"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."
"There could be more customization options."
"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."
"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."
"It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
