Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The interface is really user-friendly.""Great features available in one tool.""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 virtualization tool is useful.""The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.""The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting.""Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."

More Palantir Foundry Pros →

"It's already very user-friendly and has a good dashboard.""Overall, it's a good product.""The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools. In Europe, particularly in France, a lot of companies use Excel, SQL Server, and other Microsoft tools, and it is easier to connect SSIS with Microsoft tools than other products.""SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity.""SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code.""Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture.""The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources.""The scalability of SSIS is good."

More SSIS Pros →

Cons
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved.""The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry.""Some error messages can be very cryptic.""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 workflow 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.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"In terms of its performance, it could be better. That could be something that would be easy and welcomed as an upgrade.""We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling.""SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality.""Sometimes we need to connect to AWS to get additional data sources, so we have to install some external LAN and not a regular RDBMS. We need external tools to connect. It would be great if SSIS included these tools. I'd also like some additional features for row indexing and data conversion.""SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues.""Options for scaling could be improved.""I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components.""We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work."

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 →

  • "This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
  • "My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
  • "This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
  • "It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
  • "Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."
  • "We have an enterprise license for this solution."
  • "It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
  • "All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

    Informatica PowerCenter vs. Microsoft SSIS - each technology has its advantages but also have similarities
    Technology has made it easier for businesses to organize and manipulate data to get a clearer picture of what’s going on with their business. Notably, ETL tools have made managing huge amounts of data significantly easier and faster, boosting many organizations’ business intelligence operations There are many third-party vendors offering ETL solutions, but two of the most popular are PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services). Each technology has its advantages but there are also similarities on how they carry out the extract-transform-load processes and only differ in terminologies. If you’re in the process of choosing ETL tools and PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS made it to your shortlist, here is a short comparative discussion detailing the differences between the two, as well as their benefits. Package Configuration Most enterprise data integration projects would require the capacity to develop a solution in one platform and test and deploy it in a separate environment without having to manually change the established workflow. In order to achieve this seamless movement between two environments, your ETL technology should allow the dynamic update of the project’s properties using the content or a parameter file or configuration. Both Informatica and SSIS support this functionality using different methodologies. In Informatica, every session can have more than one source and one or more destination connections. There are… Read more →
