PALANTIR DATA ENGINEER at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
Unified healthcare pipelines have improved data trust and accelerated operational decisions
One challenge regarding how Palantir Foundry can be improved is the learning curve. Foundry has a very broad ecosystem with Ontology, Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, and AI integrations. For new engineers or business users onboarding, it can take time, especially if they are coming from more traditional data platforms. Better documentation, simplified onboarding paths, and more beginner-friendly examples would help accelerate adoption. Another area is debugging complexity. While lineage and monitoring are strong features, troubleshooting deeply interconnected pipelines can still become difficult in a large enterprise environment. Sometimes error logs and pipeline failure messages could be more descriptive or developer-friendly, especially for distributed PySpark jobs. Another pain point is customization limitations in certain UI-driven components. While low-code tools are great for rapid development, highly customized workflows sometimes still require engineering workarounds or deeper technical implementation. The platform is extremely capable, but improvements around usability, debugging experience, DevOps flexibility, and ecosystem openness would make it even more effective for enterprise engineering teams.

Graph analytics have transformed fraud detection and real-time insights for transaction data
The best feature of TigerGraph is the interconnectivity, which is very good for our needs as we were looking for highly connected data such as customer transactions. We needed our database to provide solutions for complex relationship queries quickly, and we can scale it with a large dataset. We adopted TigerGraph because it has massively parallel processing, real-time graph analytics, and deep link multi-hop queries. I find the GSQL query feature to be the most reliable because it is a powerful SQL-like query language designed for graph analytics and complex pattern matching, which is the best aspect of TigerGraph. Scalability is one of the key factors why we chose TigerGraph, as it provides fast analytics when the dataset increases and meets our needs very well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The best features Palantir Foundry offers are the ease of use and the availability of all the different functionalities in a single space, making it a very convenient application to use for varying different purposes such as the workflow I mentioned."
"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."
"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization by saving time in creating agents and dashboards and definitely enhancing collaboration."
"Based on my experience, Palantir Foundry is extremely easy to learn and adjust to since it is primarily a closed system, meaning that all the functions for data ingestion, data cleaning, machine learning, and related tasks can be performed from within the same system."
"Based on my huge experience with Palantir Foundry, I find that starting from the data connection to the end user application, there is a tool for everyone."
"In my experience, the best features Palantir Foundry offers are its usefulness for all levels of people from analysts to product managers to software engineers."
"Palantir Foundry has proven to be a great tool in terms of scalability for me, especially compared to Power BI, which felt inadequate, as its scalability depends on the Slate application and I am only limited by my imagination."
"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization, especially Airbus, as we are dependent on Palantir Foundry for processing the data."
"TigerGraph allows you to specify the schema using SQL, similar to how you would with a relational data model, and once you draw your graph model and load the data, you can experiment faster with their available machine learning algorithms using a GUI-driven approach, which makes progress with TigerGraph much easier."
"Since we needed to reduce the query execution time in our application, it has reduced it by up to 60%, data relationship analysis that used to take minutes is now reduced to seconds, and we can process multiple millions of relationships in real-time, which provides significant value."
"A specific result that reflects this positive impact on my company's market position is that I have almost a 100% win rate on bids for projects that involve graphs, thanks to my experience with TigerGraph."
"My experience with TigerGraph has been exceptional, and I believe more focused enablement and diverse use cases will encourage broader adoption and implementation across various projects."
"One of the key features that differentiates TigerGraph from traditional databases is the way it has been architected, as it does not rely on traditional rows and columns but rather on graphical architecture, which sets it apart from normal relational databases, helping us with analytics and analysis, making it better in terms of performance and processing capabilities."
"The impact of TigerGraph has been significant: it reduced complex multi-join query times from minutes to milliseconds, enabled real-time fraud detection across billions of transactions, and cut development effort by over seventy percent because the graph traversal logic that previously required thousands of lines of SQL became just a few dozens of lines of GSQL."
"TigerGraph has positively impacted my organization by providing better visualization and transaction patterns compared to our original database, BigQuery, which did not meet client expectations in data representation."
"I cannot give any numbers, but TigerGraph was one of the key parts of fraud detection for the bank, which was a huge financial aspect, as it helped reduce fraud and save the bank from several fines from regulatory institutions."
 

Cons

"I cannot advise someone to use Palantir Foundry due to cost efficiency and the complexity it introduces in handling large amounts of data."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"It is a very complicated platform, and you need to understand a lot about how to use it and the underlying thinking behind Foundry."
"If it was my choice, I wouldn't sign the contract with Palantir in the first place. I would probably stick to standard Databricks."
"One challenge regarding how Palantir Foundry can be improved is the learning curve."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Palantir Foundry is very accurate, but I would have doubts about its reliability because there have been instances in my current job where we experience untimely application downtime, which has impacted the business significantly, so I think reliability needs improvement."
"However, Palantir Foundry's license fees comparative to others are quite high."
"TigerGraph does not have enough number of experts, and in terms of the usability of the product, they are still evolving."
"TigerGraph as a product is currently limited in its modularity, being heavily AWS focused, and since we are on Google Cloud Platform, this caused some challenges during setup, although TigerGraph as a service was very proactive in assisting with this."
"TigerGraph could improve by making the community version more complete and not limited to a monolithic service."
"To improve TigerGraph, one key area is its handling of data uploads, where sometimes attribute problems arise without any error indication, resulting in blank spaces in attribute slots."
"That part is actually really important, as TigerGraph is very naive and it is somewhat a beta product. It has always been a beta product, even when they have released so many versions, it was very problematic."
"I chose a rating of eight out of ten mainly because documentation, more demos, and improved customer approachability still present opportunities for improvement."
"The two points contributing to the lower score are its cost and the challenges encountered while implementing machine learning models."
"TigerGraph can be improved by providing more tutorials about G-SQL."
