We performed a comparison between Fivetran 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."There's the general feature of the platform where it just makes it very easy to integrate different things, but I would say a specific difference is their integration of DBT,."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The data lineage is great."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"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 solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"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."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"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."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"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."
