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.

Has a plug-and-play model and provides good robustness and scalability

The solution's community support could be improved. I don't know why the Spring Cloud Data Flow community is not very strong. Community support is very limited whenever you face any problem or are stuck somewhere. I'm not sure whether it has improved in the last six months because this pipeline was set up almost two years ago. I struggled with that a lot. For example, there was limited support whenever I got an exception and sought help from Stack Overflow or different forums. Interacting with Kubernetes needs a few certificates. You need to define all the certificates within your application. With the help of those certificates, your Java application or Spring Cloud Data Flow can interact with Kubernetes. I faced a lot of hurdles while placing those certificates. Despite following the official documentation to define all the replicas, readiness, and liveliness probes within the Spring Cloud Data Flow application, it was not working. So, I had to troubleshoot while digging in and debugging the internals of Spring Cloud Data Flow at that time. It was just a configuration mismatch, and I was doing nothing weird. There was a small spelling difference between how Spring Cloud Data Flow was expecting it and how I passed it. I was just following the official documentation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With Palantir Foundry, it helps us have better benefits and better return on investment, and also accelerates the right decision in the market."

"Palantir Foundry has improved with the generation of AI, and I think the governance and security are both good things to have in Palantir Foundry."

"I appreciate multiple aspects of Palantir Foundry, starting with the clean architecture and clean UI, and I really value how easily I can create and test Python and PySpark scripts, trace data lineage to debug issues, monitor daily pipelines and health checks, and quickly build very interactive Workshop applications, all supported by a clean and informative Resource Management UI that helps track costs and data usage."

"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 has positively impacted my organization by providing good support from Palantir teams, facilitating the development of many new solutions, building our UI and web applications, and significantly enhancing our productivity."

"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted our organization by making our processes straightforward and fast-moving, especially with features like AIP, an AI-powered assistance, and the low-code ability to create transformations quickly, which has benefited me significantly."

"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization mainly by consolidating our data management, so we do not need multiple accounts for different applications and can keep all our data within Palantir Foundry while accessing all applications from there without moving data between locations."

"Palantir Foundry has reduced a very good amount of time to implement a data pipeline and process the data within four hours."

More Palantir Foundry pros

"The product is very user-friendly."

"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."

"The best thing I like about Spring Cloud Data Flow is its plug-and-play model."

"The ease of deployment on Kubernetes, the seamless integration for orchestration of various pipelines, and the visual dashboard that simplifies operations even for non-specialists such as quality analysts."

"Overall, Spring Cloud Data Flow is a really good solution and a lot cheaper than a lot of infrastructure provided by big companies like Google or Amazon."

"This product will assist us in saving costs in many ways: No longer need to continue paying high fees for proprietary software, reduce the number of software engineers needed to support the product, and achieve faster time to market by using this product for our middleware."

"The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."

"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."

More Spring Cloud Data Flow pros

Cons

"One way Palantir Foundry can be improved is by addressing issues with back-end changes. There were cases where changes made to Palantir Foundry would cause failures across all platforms."

"For example, exporting data from Palantir Foundry is very difficult and has many limitations."

"The one area where improvement could be made is the cost of the solution which is quite expensive."

"However, a disadvantage is the challenge of connecting data to and from Palantir, which requires coordination with data engineers."

"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Palantir Foundry was challenging for us."

"With Palantir Foundry, it is a part of the user tools that they provide. Their AI Assist that they use is something I have found that sometimes I get better results for when I do need help and aid."

"Always having to work with a Palantir representative creates severe bottlenecks and increases costs, making it desirable for me as the end user to perform tasks without constant requests for support."

"When we were using ETL with Palantir Foundry, we found we had less freedom compared to Cloudera, where we had more liberty in using various configuration parameters of Spark, allowing us to tune our jobs accordingly."

More Palantir Foundry cons

"Spring Cloud Data Flow is not an easy-to-use tool, so improvements are required."

"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."

"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."

"I would improve the dashboard features as they are not very user-friendly."

"The visual user interface could use some help; it needs improvement."

"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."

"There were instances of deployment pipelines getting stuck, and the dashboard not always accurately showing the application status, requiring manual intervention such as rerunning applications or refreshing the dashboard."

"The documentation on offer is not that good."
