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.
Costin Marzea - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows you to develop your own components and can be used as an OEM
Sometimes, scalability is part of planning. It depends on what you mean by scalability. People talk a lot about it, but scalability is not always about system functionality. Sometimes, it may be planning the job you're doing. If you want to split it into several jobs or servers, you don't actually have to have it built in as a functionality. You can create a job using a loop, which runs and controls several jobs in a loop that may be controlled. Scaling should not always be part of the infrastructure based on whether the engine can scale or not. I think it's your plan or project that should scale and split, and you can define these parameters. These parameters include how many servers you want to run or how many executions you want to do on different parts of the data. It's not always an issue of the engine running. Sometimes, your database should be configured to support partitioning. The product may scale very well without partitioning, but if the basic response is very slow, you didn't solve the problem. You should solve the problems at a higher level, not just at the execution level. They should be solved at the database level and communication level, and you should have firewalls. We are trying to add to the open source the ability to generate code for containers and Kubernetes that exist in the subscription version. Once you do this, Kubernetes will take care of the scaling, so there is no problem.

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."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"It's scalable."
"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 data lineage is great."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
 

Cons

"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"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."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
"he overall marketing and documentation of this product need to improve a lot."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"It is an open-source product."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
