Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration.""The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.""Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly.""The interface is really user-friendly.""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 data lineage is great.""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."

More Palantir Foundry Pros →

"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching.""The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations.""The data reader is the most valuable feature.""The solution is easy to use and developer friendly.""The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources.""There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information.""SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code.""The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."

More SSIS Pros →

Cons
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved.""Cost of this solution is quite high.""The workflow could be improved.""Difficult to receive data from external sources.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.""The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""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.""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."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good.""Performance could be better.""Sometimes when we want to publish to other types of databases it's not easy to publish to those databases. For example, the Jet Database Engine. Before the SSIS supported Jet Database Engine but nowadays it doesn't support the Jet Database Engine. We connect to many databases such as Access database, SparkPros databases and the other types of databases using Jet Database Engines now and SSIS now doesn't seem to support it in our databases.""SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues.""We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft.""The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required.""Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table.""There were some issues when we tried to connect it to data storage. It was a connection issue."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
  • "It's expensive."
  • "The solution’s pricing is high."
  • More Palantir Foundry Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
  • "My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
  • "This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
  • "It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
  • "Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."
  • "We have an enterprise license for this solution."
  • "It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
  • "All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

    Technology has made it easier for businesses to organize and manipulate data to get a clearer picture of what’s going on with their business. Notably, ETL tools have made managing huge amounts of data significantly easier and faster, boosting many organizations’ business intelligence operations There are many third-party vendors offering ETL solutions, but two of the most popular are PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services). Each technology has its advantages but there are also similarities on how they carry out the extract-transform-load processes and only differ in terminologies. If you’re in the process of choosing ETL tools and PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS made it to your shortlist, here is a short comparative discussion detailing the differences between the two, as well as their benefits. Package Configuration Most enterprise data integration projects would require the capacity to develop a solution in one platform and test and deploy it in a separate environment without having to manually change the established workflow. In order to achieve this seamless movement between two environments, your ETL technology should allow the dynamic update of the project’s properties using the content or a parameter file or configuration. Both Informatica and SSIS support this functionality using different methodologies. In Informatica, every session can have more than one source and one or more destination connections.
