Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Selim Seddiki - PeerSpot reviewer
Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

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."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The data lineage is great."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"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."
"It's scalable."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"The workflow could be improved."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"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."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"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."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
