We performed a comparison between Informatica Cloud Data Integration and Palantir Foundry based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"The features I find most valuable is the synchronization, verification, functionalities and all the data integration features."
"The serverless capability and the packaging application of the solution are valuable."
"It is one of the best tools available for data integration."
"Their new licensing is very flexible. With Informatica Cloud, you have plenty of items under the same umbrella, such as services, offerings, data quality, and data masking. You have also got master data management and API management. What I really like about them is that you don't need to go to Informatica and say that you need a data integration module. You would say that you need iPaaS or Informatica Cloud. They'll then try to understand your needs and give you IPUs, which are the processing units. If I purchased a hundred IPUs from Informatica as a customer, I can use 70 IPUs for data integration. I would also need data quality, so I can use 10 IPUs for data quality. I can use the remaining 20 IPUs for API management. Down the line, if I see that my initial data integration needs for the development phase are met, then out of the 70 IPUs assigned for data integration, I can use 30 IPUs for data masking. I can shuffle these numbers in any way within the Informatica Cloud umbrella for the tenure for which I have subscribed to these IPUs. I can use all services the way I want. This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica. It also has got good connectors."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"The solution has the best feature for parameterization."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
"The data lineage is great."
"Great features available in one tool."
"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 interface is really user-friendly."
"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 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."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The workflow 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 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."
"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 frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
