We performed a comparison between Palantir Foundry and SAP Data Services based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 virtualization tool is useful."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"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."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"It's scalable."
"Great features available in one tool."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"The product's most valuable features are data validation and rules."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The BA reporting tools, such as Data Services, and ETL tool in SAP Data Services are the most valuable. When we had in-memory requirements, we used HANA. HANA is most preferably for most the customers for in-memory. SAP is the first company that created the in-memory concept."
"You can always manipulate a lot of things as long as you have the skill level."
"It is a powerful product with a broad range of features."
"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"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."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"The description of error messages isn't extensive, although they point to the problem. With other solutions, like Talend, I was able to use the debugger to get directly to the problem, but with SAP Data Services the debugger is not working. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the version specifically, but I'm using it in an enterprise environment and I can't do an upgrade."
"Source code control is another headache. When your source code base gets too large, managing the source code becomes cumbersome."
"I want some more business intelligence applications. People need to know more and more about data, including the transformation rules, etc. Informatica is a better product for data cataloging. SAP should update the data catalog."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
