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.
Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Palantir Foundry is not just a data platform; it actually connects data engineering, analytics, operations, and decision-making all into one ecosystem."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The best features Palantir Foundry offers for my work include that building the ontology is very easy and it is easy to use."
"Previously, the team used to take more than a week to gather data for a particular entity and make it ready for downstream use cases, and that was reduced from seven days to close to 30 to 45 minutes because everything was automated using pipelines and schedules."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Foundry's data visualization is fantastic."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"In terms of improvements, it helped us improve our data migration timelines by approximately 60 percent and improved the data accuracy and addressed the issues upfront by approximately 85 percent."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"This solution is one of the most stable integration SAP products that you could possibly have."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"Overall, I would rate SAP Process Orchestration a 10 out of 10."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"Sometimes it takes time to refresh the UI, especially since it is cloud-based."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The workflow could be improved. Although it works rather seamlessly, the workflow is too complicated sometimes."
"Regarding documentation, I find that when I face issues, the outdated documentation is not helpful; for example, while trying to create a webhook to fetch SharePoint metadata, I found available resources lacking relevance, needing significant updates to assist users properly."
"Palantir Foundry needs more resources to understand and train new, incoming resources to understand the basic knowledge of the entire platform."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for organizations that are primarily cloud-based."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
