Palantir’s Gotham software is a popular visual data analysis tool used by some of the largest organizations in the world. It’s used across a wide variety of domains, including cyber, national defense, financial compliance, law enforcement, and others.
- Despite what Simon might have you believe, lots of algorithmic applications used at Palantir can be discussed publicly, because they’re already public. At minimum, here’s a list of Palantir patent applications: PALANTIR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
- Palantir is compatible with Windows XP/Vista/7 environment, 32-bit version. Javaw.exe, Palantir.exe or 461AC24A32F3.exe are the common file names to indicate the Palantir installer. The most popular versions among the program users are 1.1 and 1.0. The software lies within Games, more precisely Arcade.
- Palantir’s unusual business model is not always a perfect fit for military contracts. Although Palantir sells a combination of software and consulting services, all costs are folded into a single software license negotiated with the customer.
- Palantir’s compensation seems roughly aligned with what software engineers make at some of tech’s biggest companies, including Apple, Microsoft, Google, and IBM: Among Big Data firms, Palantir is particularly secretive, which should come as no surprise given how its clients include the CIA and several big banks (including Credit Suisse).
We build data fusion platforms for integrating, managing, and securing any kind of data, at massive scale. On top of these platforms, we layer applications for fully interactive, human-driven, machine-assisted analysis.
We’re regularly asked by organizations of all kinds whether Visallo is an alternative to Palantir and the answer is unequivocally yes. The follow-up question is always “how do they differ?” This post will answer that follow-up question by highlighting some of the major differences between Palantir’s Gotham and Visallo.
Meaningful Differentiation
Capability-wise, Visallo and Palantir Gotham are very similar. The primary features of link and geospatial analysis are comparable, with each product having a few capabilities the other doesn’t. Feature-by-feature comparisons are often fruitless however, as products change quickly and feature lists are soon outdated. The most important differences are where products diverge architecturally or philosophically and even more so where business models differ. Those aspects have the biggest impact on your use of the software and can’t easily be changed. This is where Visallo has some notable advantages over Palantir.
You Own Your Data
One of the most frequent concerns we’re questioned about focuses on how data is stored and controlled. Customers want assurance that they’ll be able to get their information and analysis back out if they ever decide to stop using Visallo. As the recent dispute between the NYPD and Palantir shows, it’s a legitimate concern.
With Visallo, you’ll always own your data and the analysis you create using our software. We’ve gone beyond just making a promise however, and have made our entire graph database and its data storage format documentation open source. You can read all about it in this blog post.
As a Palantir Gotham customer, the rights to your data and analysis should not be taken for granted. Just be sure to read the fine print.
Engineers Not Required
Palantir deployments often require the services of Forward Deployed Engineers. These are people with computer science or related engineering degrees who sit on site to perform the software deployment, write data integration code, and generally help people use the software. While there’s no doubt they provide a useful service, their presence can quickly and dramatically drive up the cost of a Palantir deployment.
We take a different approach at Visallo. We’re building “off-the-shelf” software you can use effectively without the help of someone with an engineering degree. This doesn’t mean we won’t provide customers with appropriate services when needed, it just isn’t a primary component of our business model like it is with Palantir.
Architected for Big Data
We’re living in an age of data abundance and it’s only going to continue growing. Buried in that data are the critical hidden connections and insights needed to uncover the crime, find the criminal, and crack the case.
Built on the Hadoop platform and other big data products like Accumulo and ElasticSearch, Visallo is built to scale to massive datasets. Palantir Gotham can scale relatively well too, but is limited to what can be achieved with relational database technology, which often struggles to handle the largest datasets.
Built for Today’s Distributed Teams
Today’s teams are diverse, distributed, and always changing. Teams may be spread across countries, comprised of members from multiple domains, and leverage external consultants or part-time help for short periods or specialized needs. Visallo’s user interface is accessed entirely through a web browser. With nothing to install, adding and removing people as needed is easy.
Collaborating on a case with your team couldn’t be easier with Visallo either. Taking inspiration from Google Docs, Visallo immediately pushes changes to all collaborators of a shared case, so team members can work together in real-time and no one ever works with out-of-date information.
While Palantir Gotham is also a multi-user platform, it doesn’t prioritize collaboration and teamwork like Visallo. Investigations can be shared among users in a read-only state, where changes must be manually synchronized. This means that team members are often looking at out-of-date information and analysis. Everyone working on a Palantir investigation will also need to have the client application installed on their computer, making it cumbersome to incorporate ad hoc input from outside consultants or part-time contributors.

Palantir and Visallo are very similar when looked at on a feature-by-feature basis, but important differences emerge when you focus on architecture, philosophy, and business models. When comparing them, be sure to focus on the meaningful differentiation that’s not so easily changed.

Investors should consider the investment objectives, risks, and charges and expenses of an Exchange Traded Fund ('ETF') carefully before investing. Before investing in any ETF, you should consider its investment objective, risks, charges and expenses. Contact us at support@passfolio.us for a prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully. ETFs are subject to market fluctuation and the risks of their underlying investments. ETFs are subject to management fees and other expenses. ETF shares are bought and sold at market price, which may be higher or lower than their NAV, and are not individually redeemed from the fund. Investment returns will fluctuate and are subject to market volatility, so that an investor's shares, when redeemed or sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs are subject to risks similar to those of stocks. Some specialized exchange-traded funds can be subject to additional market risks. Leveraged and inverse exchange-traded products are not designed for buy and hold investors or investors who do not intend to manage their investment on a daily basis. These products are for sophisticated investors who understand their risks (including the effect of daily compounding of leveraged investment results), and who intend to actively monitor and manage their investments on a daily basis.
Be sure to consider your own financial situation, perform thorough research, and consult with a qualified tax professional before making any investment decisions concerning REITs. Investments in REITs and other real estate securities are subject to similar risks as direct investments in real estate. The real estate industry is particularly sensitive to economic downturns.
Where an investment is denominated in a currency other than the investor’s currency, changes in rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value, price of, or income derived from the investment.
