Robert Heck - PeerSpot reviewer
Co Owner at Hecht und Heck GmbH
The solution is stable, scalable, and flexible
I rate the solution eight out of ten. The number of people required to maintain the solution is dependent on the other applications running. The solution in itself does not require a lot of maintenance. The solution is flexible and I recommend it when you have more complex applications with special requirements.

Data team has transformed diverse environmental streams and now delivers real-time insights
The best thing that we've seen coming out of Stitch is the Talend and Qlik relationship becoming more of a single entity rather than two entities. A couple of years ago there was a distinction between Stitch and Qlik. The biggest challenge when we were dealing with both was that we felt like we were dealing with two different companies. They are quickly merging the two different entities into a single one, and by around the end of this year, they're planning to basically consolidate everything. Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together. It's not quite exactly one solution. That's probably the biggest negative at the moment. Each month we're seeing improvements in the cloud platform, and they're coming out with capabilities that we haven't even thought about that are going to make our lives easier. Probably the biggest negative they have is they're doing so much good stuff, but we don't know about it. It just appears and then we figure it out ourselves, but the communication of changes could be improved. However, the positives are that they're changing so much at the moment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The SAS/ACCESS ability to connect creates an elegant simplicity."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"Stitch saved a lot of time, gave more options, and made it very quick and easy to build a UI."
"Stitch helps immensely because in just a day, we are able to cover the work that would normally take two to three weeks worth of design work nonstop."
"Stitch has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to create MVPs quickly."
"The setup process for Stitch was pretty easy, with a plug and play approach where the data is immediately available."
"We've got a project at the moment that we estimated the integration was going to be around $200,000 to $300,000, and we've been able to achieve the integration for less than a tenth of that, doing it in-house using Stitch."
"Easy setup and easy change management are the best features Stitch offers, along with a good admin panel."
"Stitch has helped my organization achieve better data management, making it easier, as it helps my team access data faster and reduces errors."
"Stitch's best features include reporting and real-time insights, and what stands out to me is the speed, accuracy, and creativity in providing state-of-the-art features, leading to better insights, quicker time to market, and facilitating decisions, which I find quite impressive."
 

Cons

"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
"The primary way that this product can be improved is by adjusting their pricing model."
"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."
"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."
"I would advise that you should not use Stitch if you are going to build a big number of screens or a heavy UI application with complex designs because it is not ready for that kind of work."
"Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together."
"The customer support of Stitch is horrible."
"My experience with customer support for Stitch has been very bad."
"The conversion to Figma is not effective."
"The designs that Stitch produces sometimes cannot really be used for final launch, but I understand Stitch was designed just for rapid prototyping and for teams to get from the point where they just have an idea to having an actual product."
"Stitch should definitely provide more extractors than it does now and provide the ability for teams to integrate their own extractors."
"Stitch can be improved by being able to connect the design system to it, and being able to design any components from that design system would be the best improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing model is complex and is based on modular packages as well as the size of the applicable environment."
"The solution's pricing and licensing are expensive."
