Manilal Kasera - PeerSpot reviewer
Transparent with good reliability and good data visibility
The initial setup had a medium level of difficulty. If we go through the documentation, we can learn about what to do. In Palantir, they had a section called Academy, and that Academy was quite useful. If you go through that as a new user, it makes the process easier as you learn what to do. Initially, we didn't have many sources that would help us learn things, so we struggled a bit. In contrast, with Azure and Amazon Cloud, you have many sources from where you would be easily able to learn. You could just Google what you needed with them, as there's so much available documentation online. What was easy was the fact that everything was in one place. With AWS Cloud, there are many applications to support. You can use Glue or Athena, and you have all these other applications. However, with Palantir, everything is easy due to the fact that it is centralized. It's drag and drop and everything is very transparent.

Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable
he ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Great features available in one tool."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"It's scalable."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The data lineage is great."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."
"The data reader is the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft."
"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."
"The scalability of SSIS is good."
 

Cons

"The workflow could be improved."
"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’s data security could be improved."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"I come from a coding background and this tool is graphically based. Sometimes I think it's cumbersome to do mapping graphically. If there was a way to provide a simple script, it would be helpful and make it easier to use."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."
"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."
"It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources."
"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."
"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."
"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
