More Palantir Foundry Pros →

"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard.""We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool.""The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions.""The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized.""The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it.""From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic.""The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product.""Live Query data on demand, R and Python integration, and the ability to write HTML and JavaScript text areas are all valuable features."

Cons
"Cost of this solution is quite high.""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 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.""There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers.""Difficult to receive data from external sources.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.""Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive.""The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"We would like to see some improvement in the default properties of the solution, so that there is less need for us to spend our time coding.""I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients.""The design of the UI could be improved.""One aspect where Spotfire could improve is its global recognition, especially in terms of support.""We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets.""The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik.""Print capability and trigger-based events.""The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text."
