Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 interface is really user-friendly.""Great features available in one tool.""The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.""It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server.""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.""Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration.""The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling.""The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading.""The solution is very stable."

Cons
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point.""Some error messages can be very cryptic.""There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers.""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.""The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""Difficult to receive data from external sources.""Cost of this solution is quite high.""The workflow could be improved."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex.""The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible.""So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
