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.

The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades. As a company, you're either hiring or paying an outsourcer to do that, and you have to manage it, keep up with the updates to the hardware, software, and the operating system. It's very expensive because there's a lot to control and take care of.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data lineage is great."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"This product has all the various components for getting data, transforming it and visually creating the dashboards without the need to integrate things and no need to check the compatibility."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"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."
"The most valuable thing about this product is that it replicates data between SAP databases (ASE to IQ) very successfully."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"This product has a catalog with the location of all the objects which were replicated, and it's very simple to maintain."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"We use this solution for all kinds of communications like RFC, BAPI, IDoc, connecting with the orders, accounts, finance, data stuff, banking, everything."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
 

Cons

"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"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."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The one area where improvement could be made is the cost of the solution which is quite expensive."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The workflow could be improved. Although it works rather seamlessly, the workflow is too complicated sometimes."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"It's a very expensive solution."
"There is a need to improve performance in high transactional processes."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"Setup was a little complex."
"It's complex. It's necessary to understand a little about infrastructure, like network LAN and VLAN environment."
