Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.
Selim Seddiki - PeerSpot reviewer
Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The data lineage is great."
"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 AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 workflow could be improved."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"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."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."

"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
