Featured Reviews

Chris Farris - PeerSpot reviewer
Manager, Data Operations at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees
User-friendly interface facilitates efficient data migration and reduces operational overhead
Its usability and ease of use are standout features. It is really easy to use - almost too easy at times. Users don't have to be experts to use their tool set and utilize the clicking mechanisms, drop down boxes, and other features to build a package and run it. The configuration is very easy and the system is very stable. I would rate it at a 10 as it is highly reliable; we have never had any problems with it. Very little maintenance is required on my side. While you need to keep the product up to date, the maintenance requirements are minimal. SSIS integrates with all Microsoft tools seamlessly. We have used it against Oracle, DB2 and SQL. It integrates and can move data around from any data platforms, making it very diverse in that standpoint. It is a very robust tool that can work with many data sources, and its main strength is that it is extremely easy to use.

Improved data management has reduced errors while consistent loads have saved weekly effort
I think the best feature Stitch offers is that it handles deleted records. Stitch's ability to handle deleted records is a standout feature for me because if a record is deleted at the source, I can easily track it with soft delete and all that functionality. Stitch has impacted my organization positively, as I have both positive and negative aspects with it. One positive aspect is that full loads are free, so whenever I see data issues, I can go for full loads. At the same time, I need to look at the limitations, such as API limits. Stitch has helped my organization achieve better data management, making it easier. Better data management means that Stitch helps my team access data faster and reduces errors.
