A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Robust and does a good job of handling overload conditions
We purchase an add-on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update, and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package. I believe there are ways to build a model and set variables so that it can be a generic process. In my next system, I would like to have a generic process that would handle all the logging and processing in a model that can be modified and enhanced as the need for a better process, or different statistics to be logged is discovered. I'd want this in a way that the model can be changed and all the processes, with their unique parameters, could all be changed with the model upgraded. I believe they should add some features that help to create the code using a model. This would allow for continuous improvement of the model uses and easy replication of all the different programs that use the model.

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."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"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."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The data lineage is great."
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"The ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
"It's a competent product."
"The performance is good."
"It is easy to set up the product."
 

Cons

"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"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."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The startup pricing is high, causing concern despite being cost-effective in terms of total cost of ownership."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Options for scaling could be improved."
"SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."
"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time."
"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."
"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."
"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."
"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
