Pros
"It's scalable.""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 solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities.""The virtualization tool is useful.""Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly.""Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration.""The interface is really user-friendly."

"I work in operations, so I value BusinessWorks' performance the most.""The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently.""XML to JSON transformations, out-of-the-box, helps to build REST services.""Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions.""The ability to link to different technologies is valuable to us.""One of the most valuable features is data transformation. We have some legacy systems which are in old technology, like SOAP, whereas the new ones are in REST. So we use BusinessWorks to transform data from one format to another, from SOAP to REST.""It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors.""It is user friendly, it's not complex."

Cons
"Cost of this solution is quite high.""The workflow could be improved.""Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive.""There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers.""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.""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.""It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse.""There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations.""The cost of the solution has room for improvement.""The cost of this product is too expensive for smaller companies or those with a small number of integrations.""Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide.""The cost has room for improvement.""The communication protocols could be improved.""There is room for improvement on the learning side."

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 →

  • "My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
  • "It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
  • "Its price policy has changed quite a lot in the last two years. It was extremely expensive previously. Nowadays, you can buy a license for BusinessWorks for €2000. Looking at what you get in return in terms of support, TIBCO community, and stability, it is fairly reasonable. It is not too expensive."
  • "I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
  • "Licensing scheme is too rigid"
  • "I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."
  • "The solution is too expensive. It's one of the most expensive solutions out there, particularly because there are so many open-source competitors on the market. I don't know the exact numbers, however."
  • "I give the cost of the solution a four out of ten."
