We performed a comparison between Azure Data Factory and Palantir Foundry based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The data factory agent is quite good and programming or defining the value of jobs, processes, and activities is easy."
"Data Factory's best features include its data source connections, GUI for building data pipelines, and target loading within Azure."
"I like the basic features like the data-based pipelines."
"UI is easy to navigate and I can retrieve VTL code without knowing in-depth coding languages."
"The solution has a good interface and the integration with GitHub is very useful."
"We haven't had any issues connecting it to other products."
"Allows more data between on-premises and cloud solutions"
"The best part of this product is the extraction, transformation, and load."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"It's scalable."
"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."
"The data lineage is great."
"Great features available in one tool."
"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."
"Lacks a decent UI that would give us a view of the kinds of requests that come in."

"Occasionally, there are problems within Microsoft itself that impacts the Data Factory and causes it to fail."
"Data Factory would be improved if it were a little more configuration-oriented and not so code-oriented and if it had more automated features."
"I would like to see this time travel feature in Snowflake added to Azure Data Factory."
"There's no Oracle connector if you want to do transformation using data flow activity, so Azure Data Factory needs more connectors for data flow transformation."
"The solution should offer better integration with Azure machine learning. We should be able to embed the cognitive services from Microsoft, for example as a web API. It should allow us to embed Azure machine learning in a more user-friendly way."
"Azure Data Factory should be cheaper to move data to a data center abroad for calamities in case of disasters."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"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."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
