Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server.""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 provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.""Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility.""The interface is really user-friendly.""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 data lineage is great."

"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product.""It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient.""Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies.""The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform.""Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use.""Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."

More Workato Pros →

Cons
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved.""The workflow could be improved.""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.""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.""Cost of this solution is quite high.""It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry.""It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities.""Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations.""It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
