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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The solution’s data security 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."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"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."
"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"It is an open-source product."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
