Unified data workflows have empowered collaborative analytics and streamlined AI development
Regarding points for improvement for Palantir Foundry, I see that they are improving day by day. In the last one to two years, I have seen many improvements compared to the two years that I have worked on Palantir Foundry. There are many things that come up, but a few things are not intuitive enough. Now that we are in this AI phase, Palantir Foundry has created some wrappers around the models, allowing us to create using a no-code application, chatbots, and LLM functions. The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has. There are ways to do that, but it is not that intuitive, which is what I feel.

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

Pros

"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"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."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"SAP Process Orchestration offers easy maintainability and is a very flexible tool that easily adapts to any integration standards and artifacts that are readily available."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"t is a pretty stable solution. I have not seen any outages in the solution."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
 

Cons

"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 startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"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."
"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 solution needs to move to the cloud."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"It's very difficult to find errors in a simple way."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
"We encounter challenges while connecting to MQTT and MQDD adapters."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
