PALANTIR DATA ENGINEER at a healthcare company with 10,001+ employees
Unified healthcare pipelines have improved data trust and accelerated operational decisions
One challenge regarding how Palantir Foundry can be improved is the learning curve. Foundry has a very broad ecosystem with Ontology, Pipeline Builder, Code Repositories, and AI integrations. For new engineers or business users onboarding, it can take time, especially if they are coming from more traditional data platforms. Better documentation, simplified onboarding paths, and more beginner-friendly examples would help accelerate adoption. Another area is debugging complexity. While lineage and monitoring are strong features, troubleshooting deeply interconnected pipelines can still become difficult in a large enterprise environment. Sometimes error logs and pipeline failure messages could be more descriptive or developer-friendly, especially for distributed PySpark jobs. Another pain point is customization limitations in certain UI-driven components. While low-code tools are great for rapid development, highly customized workflows sometimes still require engineering workarounds or deeper technical implementation. The platform is extremely capable, but improvements around usability, debugging experience, DevOps flexibility, and ecosystem openness would make it even more effective for enterprise engineering teams.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature is its capability for real-time data streaming."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"In my experience, the best features Palantir Foundry offers are its usefulness for all levels of people from analysts to product managers to software engineers."
"Both time and money were saved since a project that would usually take six months was completed in two to three months."
"Palantir Foundry has positively impacted my organization, especially Airbus, as we are dependent on Palantir Foundry for processing the data."
"The strength of Palantir Foundry is that there are no limitations, it is well organized, and the data is very secure."
"It's scalable."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
 

Cons

"Amazon Data Firehose enhances our AI-driven analytics projects by providing a means to manage data streaming and delivery at any scale."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"With Palantir Foundry, it is a part of the user tools that they provide. Their AI Assist that they use is something I have found that sometimes I get better results for when I do need help and aid."
"Regarding pricing, I heard about it, and until last year, the license was one million dollars. They have now increased this to four million dollars, which is high."
"Palantir Foundry can be improved by providing more third-party application support and more support for the Ontology software development kit to develop more native applications rather than just web applications."
"There are some issues with scalability because when we are using a really large dataset, the system is rather slow."
"I would add that live data streaming is very hard and it keeps breaking, so it is not very stable and depends a lot on the satellite network."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Palantir Foundry was challenging for us."
"I believe that the AI or agent needs improvement because sometimes we face difficulties when looking for solutions, and when we ask the agent, AIP, it does not understand our queries and occasionally provides wrong solutions."
