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
6.4
Stitch boosts efficiency by saving time and costs, enhancing focus on data analysis despite mixed financial ROI reports.
Sentiment score
5.8
Tray.io boosts efficiency by reducing redundant tasks, saving 40+ hours weekly, and eliminating the need for engineer integration hours.
That cut down our pipeline maintenance and integration overhead by eighty to ninety percent, freeing us up to focus entirely on actual data analysis and building user-facing features.
Developer at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
Previously it took me about a month to a month and a half to have a prototype of roughly five to ten screens. Now I can do it in about two to three days.
UX Designer at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
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.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
I have seen a return on investment as the company has been renewing the product for the entire 19 months we have been using it, which indicates that trust is high and they likely see value and advantage in using the system.
Principal AI and Data Science Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
It has even eliminated a position on our team because that person was no longer needed once we started the automations.
Applications Analyst at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
The ROI is clear, as it eliminates hundreds of engineer hours required to build and maintain custom integration connectors, while empowering client partners to manage complex data ingest self-sufficiently.
Dev Ops Engineer at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
4.1
Stitch's customer service feedback is mixed, praised for effectiveness by some, criticized by others, with many users self-sufficient.
Sentiment score
4.3
Tray.io is user-friendly, reducing support needs; feedback highlights adequate direct support and praised newsletters and updates.
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
The platform actually has a very clear interface and a very good user experience.
UX Designer at a university with 1,001-5,000 employees
I have never used the customer support for Tray.io because the software is very easy to use and we never needed to contact support.
Principal AI and Data Science Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.2
Stitch is scalable and user-friendly, but concerns exist about complexity and third-party connections for heavy applications and UI.
Sentiment score
7.3
Tray.io is scalable and adaptable, but faces challenges with complexity and data handling in high-load scenarios.
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
If you are using the cloud version, then definitely it is scalable for sure.
Senior Manager at pibythree
We were able to deploy it from a small company within Tata with 200 people to what is now a multinational company with 92,000 people globally.
Principal AI and Data Science Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Our company uses it for handling high-volume data ingestion and integration orchestration between our platform and external ad services.
Dev Ops Engineer at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
The benefits of it being no-code or low-code started to pale in comparison to the cost of making everything slightly more complicated.
Operations Analyst at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.1
Stitch is highly stable and reliable, with rare issues and minimal disruptions noted by users over the past year.
Sentiment score
7.9
Tray.io is stable and reliable for workflows, despite setup challenges and memory limitations, enhancing data operations and integrations.
Stitch is really stable.
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
I have not run into any major platform downtime or critical bugs that disrupted our data flow.
Developer at a educational organization with 51-200 employees
I didn't notice any explicit crashes or bugs with Stitch, as it is actually stable.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
In my experience, Tray.io is stable, as we have never experienced issues with it failing or being unavailable.
Principal AI and Data Science Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
The biggest issue we have with Tray.io is that it runs out of memory space and does not process all of our workflows.
Applications Analyst at a healthcare company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Tray.io is highly stable for daily scheduled production runs and event-driven webhooks, provided proper error handling, timeout management, and payload validation are built into the workflow steps.
Dev Ops Engineer at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
 

Room For Improvement

Stitch users seek improved support, customization, integration, error handling, design features, pricing, and AI capabilities for better usability.
Tray.io poses challenges for non-technical users with complex workflows, high costs, and limited integration and customization options.
Stitch cannot connect to all databases or third-party apps, such as Amazon Seller.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
I saved a lot of time getting from having no design inspiration to having full-fledged designs.
Product Designer at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
I suggest developing a featured interface that is easier to use.
software developer at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
When an automation fails, it usually provides the JSON format, and if Tray.io could include a summary of what the actual error entails, that would be quite beneficial.
IT Engineer at a consumer goods company with 51-200 employees
I believe Tray.io can be improved by offering integration with Tableau, which is still not available.
Principal AI and Data Science Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
There is a steep learning curve in user accessibility; the builder is highly developer-centric, making it difficult for a non-technical team member to modify or troubleshoot workflows.
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
 

Setup Cost

Stitch is cost-effective for small teams but seen as pricey with large data, complicated by Talend merger licensing.
My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is pretty easy, pretty straightforward, and the cheapest of them all.
head of data at a healthcare company with 11-50 employees
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
If you are using any ETL tool, they are too expensive.
Senior Manager at pibythree
No one has complained in the finance department, and it is very rare for Tata Motors to refrain from complaining about pricing.
Principal AI and Data Science Engineer at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
 

Valuable Features

Stitch streamlines data management with automation, vast integrations, real-time alerts, and intuitive tools enhancing workflows and decision-making.
Tray.io enhances automation with low-code options, robust tools, vast API connections, and insightful logging for improved workflow efficiency.
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
The connector SDK is also very nice; it has a large library of pre-built connectors that can connect a lot of proprietary internal tools directly into Tray.io, allowing the developer to build, test, and deploy custom connectors using Node.js and integrate the data directly into Tray.io.
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
The best features Tray.io offers include the visual workflow builder and HTTP client blocks that enable rapid prototyping and deployment of complex API interactions, including raw HTTP requests, data mappers, and dynamic token generation.
Dev Ops Engineer at a outsourcing company with 201-500 employees
The logging and debugging features in Tray.io have helped us considerably, especially when dealing with APIs that return errors sometimes.
Operations Analyst at a tech vendor with 51-200 employees

Featured Reviews

Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Enterprise Architect at Waikato Regional Council
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.
Amrit Dash - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation Engineer at a educational organization with 11-50 employees
Automated student enrollments have reduced manual work and now free our team for higher-value support
Tray.io is definitely a highly powerful tool, but there are three main areas that I feel could be improved. There is a steep learning curve in user accessibility; the builder is highly developer-centric, making it difficult for a non-technical team member to modify or troubleshoot workflows. Introducing a more intuitive visual interface similar to what we have in make.com right now would make the platform much more collaborative and easier to work with for any non-technical folks or newly onboarded engineers, allowing them to be briefed faster. Visual debugging is another area where troubleshooting complex nested loops can feel very abstract. Having clearer, more visual step-by-step data tracking during test runs would speed up the development and testing process. The pricing model is geared heavily towards enterprise budgets; offering more flexible mid-market pricing tiers would make it more accessible for a growing organization that wants a small start and scale up gradually. The core platform security is highly robust and easily meets our requirements for SOC 2 and GDPR compliance. However, when utilizing their AI features such as Merlin AI with sensitive student data, we maintain a very cautious approach. While Tray.io provides enterprise-grade governance guardrails and data masking capabilities, our internal compliance policies prevent us from passing any personally identifiable student information directly through AI-driven processors. We trust Tray.io's underlying infrastructure security, but we believe organizations must still enforce strict data filtering protocols on their end to ensure student privacy is maintained. During our evaluation, we tested the AI capabilities in a sandbox environment, primarily using it to generate workflow drafts and natural language prompts from web data schemas. Strength-wise, it is highly capable when it comes to translating simple text descriptions into functional workflow templates. It serves as a great accelerator, helping to map standard files quickly and reducing the initial setup time for basic integrations. For issues, in the case of highly custom APIs or deeply nested data structures, accuracy declines. We noticed occasional misinterpretation of complex schemas, meaning our developers still had to manually review and correct the outputs. It is a highly helpful productivity booster but still requires human oversight for enterprise-grade reliability.
