The data lineage is great.

The virtualization tool is useful.

Manilal Kasera

It's scalable.

Sai Arun Bandhakavi

Great features available in one tool.

Mark Wozny

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.

Marco Cheung

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

Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly.

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.

It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server.

The interface is really user-friendly.

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.

Manilal Kasera

The solution could use more online documentation for new users.

Sai Arun Bandhakavi

Difficult to receive data from external sources.

Mark Wozny

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.

Marco Cheung

The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved.

Keshav Mandal

There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers.

reviewer2038020

If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly.

reviewer2031192

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.
