We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""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.""It's scalable.""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.""Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly.""It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."

"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points.""Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools.""In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features.""The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful.""The product offers very good flexibility.""The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes.""If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick.""The technical support is excellent."

Cons
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""Some error messages can be very cryptic.""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.""The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved.""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.""The workflow could be improved."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations.""Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics.""The solution could use better documentation.""The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable.""We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows.""With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process.""We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive.""The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
