Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The virtualization tool is useful.""The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.""Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility.""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 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.""Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly.""It's scalable."

"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code.""It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment.""WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing.""Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish.""Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied.""RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes.""Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions.""This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."

Cons
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point.""Cost of this solution is quite high.""Some error messages can be very cryptic.""Difficult to receive data from external sources.""There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers.""The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.""The solution could use more online documentation for new users."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment.""The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application.""Technical support isn't the best.""The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it.""It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully.""They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box.""No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded .""Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
