Comparison Buyer's Guide

Executive Summary

Review summaries and opinions

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

ROI

Sentiment score
5.7
Stitch helps users save time and money on projects, although some lack concrete financial ROI data.
Sentiment score
8.1
StreamSets speeds up data processing, boosts efficiency and revenue, simplifies tasks, enhances security, and reduces costs significantly.
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.

I think I have seen a return on investment with Stitch in terms of time saved.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
3.5
Stitch customer service is mixed; some praise responsiveness and issue escalation, while others experience unsatisfactory support.
Sentiment score
6.7
StreamSets support is responsive and knowledgeable, offering effective solutions, though response times and technical handling could improve.
The best skill set they've got is that they know when the issue is outside of their knowledge, and they escalate really quickly so that we get to the right people when we need them.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
IBM technical support sometimes transfers tickets between different teams due to shift changes, which can be frustrating.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.0
Stitch is scalable and efficient for large data, but some users find it less suitable for complex projects.
Sentiment score
7.6
StreamSets is scalable and flexible, favored for cloud use but could improve auto-scaling for large data migrations.
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.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
We just spin up a new server and add it into a cluster, and then it pretty much manages the load balancing across all the servers in the cluster.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
Stitch can handle a massive amount of data, so I do not think that is a problem.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Stitch is praised for its strong stability and reliability, with users citing dependable performance and effective load balancing features.
Sentiment score
7.8
StreamSets is praised for stability and reliability, despite minor memory issues, with high user ratings and market competitiveness.
Stitch is really stable.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
I didn't notice any explicit crashes or bugs with Stitch, as it is actually stable.

Room For Improvement

Enhancing connectors, UI consistency, database connectivity, and simplifying processes are vital for improving communication and integration capabilities.
StreamSets struggles with integration, real-time processing, clarity in UI, memory issues, security, documentation, and cloud storage performance.
Stitch cannot connect to all databases or third-party apps, such as Amazon Seller.

I saved a lot of time getting from having no design inspiration to having full-fledged designs.

I suggest developing a featured interface that is easier to use.

Setup Cost

Stitch's pricing is seen as fair with potential cost-effectiveness despite initial perceptions of needing multiple seats.
StreamSets provides flexible pricing models, with varied user satisfaction, favoring larger enterprises over smaller companies due to cost.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is pretty easy, pretty straightforward, and the cheapest of them all.

The cost of the seats is actually cheaper by the amount of value that you're adding to the business.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing for Stitch shows that it is a bit costlier.

Valuable Features

Stitch provides user-friendly data integration with valuable features like real-time insights, automation, and extensive connectivity for startups.
StreamSets offers intuitive interface, extensive connectors, and features accessible to non-technical users for seamless data integration and manipulation.
The image to HTML conversion helps me in my projects because it allows you to acquire professional designs without starting from scratch.
software developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
We take one week of time to design an application, but now we can design that application within two days, which is 16 hours.
UX lead at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
We can easily move and do time-to-market for a new pipeline and new integration, positively impacting our organization.
Staff Data Engineer at GitLab
It allows a hybrid installation approach, rather than being completely cloud-based or on-premises.

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.

Enables effective batch loading with visual interface and enterprise support
One issue I observed with StreamSets is that the memory runs out quickly when processing large volumes of data. Because of this memory issue, we have to upgrade our EC2 boxes in the Amazon AWS infrastructure. I had to switch to a new EC2 box, even though the processor was not fully utilized. It would be beneficial if StreamSets addressed any potential memory leak issues to prevent unnecessary upgrades. Additionally, it would be a great enhancement if StreamSets could produce a lineage graph to visualize how the data has passed through the system.
