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.

It reduces the downtime and migration time exponentially

I would rate SharePlex's high availability, and disaster recovery features highly. It works as advertised in terms of rapid fill-over and switch-over opportunities. It reduces the migration time for a multi-terabyte database to an hour or less because it performs real-time replication. SharePlex reduces downtime and migration time exponentially. Something that could take 12 to 24 hours is cut down to one to two hours. By the time you start to migrate, the only remaining replication is a slight difference in data from the point when SharePlex has shut down, and the application has to also switch over to the new database. It allowed the company to replicate data more transparently. Some of the business executives probably don't even know it's there. It works 100 percent of the time, with little downtime or problems. It provides what is needed. There's little concern about whether or not it functions. It's allowed the company to achieve its objectives with its clients, reducing and minimizing downtime for substantial migrations and upgrades. It can reduce hardware and storage costs, but my company doesn't utilize it with high-availability architecture.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."

"It has been the platform for end to end data processing, manipulations, and reporting, greatly improved org's data reporting effort."

"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."

"Based on my huge experience with Palantir Foundry, I find that starting from the data connection to the end user application, there is a tool for everyone."

"The predictive analytics capability within Palantir Foundry impacts financial forecasting strategies through its AIP functionality, which includes numerous pre-built models, LLMs, and data science application libraries."

"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."

"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."

"The interface is really user-friendly."

More Palantir Foundry pros

"The core replication and its performance. Performance is crucial, and SharePlex is by far the fastest. The way it handles replication to multiple targets along with basic filtering, as well as from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient."

"The synchronization, data backup, and data transfer are all valuable features of the solution."

"SharePlex has been a good fit for us because it was not as expensive compared to GoldenGate, it was stable compared to AWS DMS, and it was a good product for what we were looking for and within our budget too."

"The core replication and its performance, which is by far the fastest, along with the way it handles replication to multiple targets with basic filtering and from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient."

"There are some capabilities within SharePlex where you can see how the data is migrating and if it still maintains good data integrity. For example, if there are some tables that get out of sync, there are ways to find them and fix the problem on the spot. Since these are very common issues, we can easily fix these types of problems using utilities, like compare and repair. So, if you find something is out of sync, then you can just repair that table. It basically syncs that table from source to target to see if there are any differences. It will then replicate those differences to the target."

"It works 100 percent of the time, with little downtime or problems."

"Because of the volume of the transactions, we heavily use a feature that allows SharePlex to replicate thousands of transactions. It's called PEP, Post Enhancement Performance, and that has helped us scale tremendously."

"Try it out in your production and you won't be disappointed."

More SharePlex pros

Cons

"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."

"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."

"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."

"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."

"I rate Palantir Foundry five out of 10. I'm ambivalent."

"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."

"Some error messages can be very cryptic."

"The workflow could be improved. Although it works rather seamlessly, the workflow is too complicated sometimes."

More Palantir Foundry cons

"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication."

"The reporting features need improvement."

"The reporting features need improvement. It would be very good for users to have a clear understanding of the status of replication."

"For its function in relation to replication (i.e. filtering), I'd give it a six or seven out of 10. GoldenGate has much more functionality by comparison."

"I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market."

"I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market. That would be a considerable improvement."

"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities."

"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."

"It's expensive."

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."

"The solution’s pricing is high."

"It is not as expensive as Oracle GoldenGate and has worked really well within our budgets."

"It's really good value for the money. There are some things they could improve on, but in terms of the pricing, features, and support, as a holistic package, we are not thinking of anything else at this point in time."
