Palantir Foundry Valuable Features

Foundry's data visualization is fantastic. If you had a solid data person sitting next to a researcher, you could do remarkable things with data visualization and transformation. 

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 best thing about the solution would be the data lineage. We use it to see the data sources in one place, including where the data is coming from and where it is going. The visibility is very easy. Right now, I'm working with another cloud platform and in that, and I don't see that option. I'm not able to easily know the sources. In Palantir, it was quite easy.

The solution is stable. 

It's scalable.

The Code Workbook gives you the option to switch across built-in languages such as Spark SQL, PySpark, R, or Python. 

Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly. There are a multitude of sessions within each framework that occur weekly. At the end of a session, you have the option to read other user's questions or ask questions yourself. 

The GUI is easy to use and does not require advanced technical knowledge.

The value of Palantir is that it provides everything in one tool. Previously, we'd need one tool for data cataloging, another as a data lake, and a third for data warehousing. Palantir has simplified that for us. The data analysis, data science and data engineering features are pretty easy to use.

Certified developer on Palantir Foundry

From the frontend application-building perspective, Palantir Foundry has coupled the frontend capabilities beyond Power BI and Tableau. It provides flexibility that is close to where single-page application (e.g. React, Angular) is, but it also takes out the complexity of building them from scratch.

The solution provides great data integration and pipelining capabilities that it is traditionally good at.

The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you.

The data lineage is great. It helps identify the flow of the data and the data pipeline, starting from the beginning to the end of the pipeline. 

I also found a contour helpful. It was also useful to do quick ad hoc data analysis and create reports.

The solution effectively processes all of our data within a single management platform. Previously, we had to use three different tools such as Hadoop to fetch data and leverage the use server. 

It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server. This allows us to maintain an environment within the solution that goes directly to production.

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. We can put health checks into place, which is advantageous to my company.

The interface is really user-friendly.

This product allows you to do a better data governance job. For example, it will show you data along with information that explains what it is about and what columns it comes from. It will also allow you to give row-level access to different people, which is important in a corporate setting because restricting access to certain datasets is important.

The built-in automation makes tasks easier.

This solution allows you to do an extensive analysis that cannot be done on a personal computer, or even an on-premises server because of the computational effort that is required. It is enormous.
