Featured Reviews

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.
Steven Scarver - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to scale, useful auto-formatting, and powerful features
Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently.

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 solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"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."
"The data lineage is great."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."
"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."
 

Cons

"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"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."
"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."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."
"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."
