Unified data workflows have empowered collaborative analytics and streamlined AI development
Regarding points for improvement for Palantir Foundry, I see that they are improving day by day. In the last one to two years, I have seen many improvements compared to the two years that I have worked on Palantir Foundry. There are many things that come up, but a few things are not intuitive enough. Now that we are in this AI phase, Palantir Foundry has created some wrappers around the models, allowing us to create using a no-code application, chatbots, and LLM functions. The problem is that interaction with outside applications can be difficult with the current setup that Palantir Foundry has. There are ways to do that, but it is not that intuitive, which is what I feel.

Data processing efficiency increases with workflow automation but could improve on handling high volume data
The most valuable feature of Workato is that billing is based on task actions; whatever actions we take on the Workato platform will determine the task consumption and billing for each workflow. More optimized workflows lead to less billing for clients. Furthermore, they have introduced a Copilot feature for automation, helping build recipes and code with simple prompts. Additionally, they are developing AI solutions for clients. These are some top features, along with various others implemented per client specifications, such as CICD implementation and runtime connection changes. The benefits of using Workato for our customers include automating business workflows and data integration. By addressing their manual efforts, which are time-consuming and prone to errors, Workato helps clients reduce costs while increasing productivity. We implement solutions that enable seamless data integration between different systems, minimizing time-consuming manual processes. A positive impact we see is cost reduction, as manual efforts are significantly lowered. For example, in production support teams, manual processes are streamlined through CICD implementation, allowing for a seamless integration of different environments with minimal errors and faster deployment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's scalable."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The data lineage is great."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"The delivery time has drastically improved using Workato because of its low-code feature and pre-built connectors which are very easy to use compared to MuleSoft."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"The recipe-driven automation in Workato is very impressive; for the same client project, we extracted purchase orders from emails and pushed them into the file system, and the automation worked as expected without any issues with the Workato email connector."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"Workato allows us to streamline our operations by replacing multiple legacy systems with a single integrated platform."
"I absolutely think it is worth the money to have Workato as a tool."
 

Cons

"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"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."
"There are some issues with scalability because when we are using a really large dataset, the system is rather slow."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"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."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"From a technical standpoint, the security features at the data orchestration level could be more organized, and improvements in certificate management are necessary."
"In Workato, there are some limitations regarding very high transactional data in file formats. For instance, we have a 90-minute job timeout, and queues larger than 10,000 size will be purged."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was a bit challenging in the past because the client I was working for did not have an unlimited license to use unlimited tasks and could not create many different processes and flows in Workato."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"However, their API management is not very good, and their EDI pieces are not strong."
"Workato could be improved by adding a proper debugging feature. Currently, there's no way to set breakpoints to stop the process and debug an error as you can in other tools like webMethods."
"Though I find the task-based usage in Workato challenging, requiring careful workflow design."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
"Workato is an expensive solution."
"On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
"Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."
