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 enables cost and time savings with pre-configured setups, improving support and time-to-market for integration projects.
Sentiment score
6.1
Zapier offers time-saving automation with varied ROI, often seen as cost-effective and a valuable investment despite indirect impacts.
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 think I have seen a return on investment with Stitch in terms of time saved.
Cloud Data Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
In a scenario where employing three resources for three months might cost approximately $18,000 to $20,000, Zapier provides substantial cost savings.

Customer Service

Sentiment score
3.5
Stitch's customer service yields mixed reviews, with experiences ranging from responsive support to dissatisfaction and mediocre interactions.
Sentiment score
7.0
Zapier's customer support is generally rated positively for efficiency, though some desire improved live chat options.
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
Their technical support is good; they respond promptly and are very helpful.

This can help if you need assistance, as you can communicate with the community and support system, and most issues are already resolved by AI.
Automation Engineer at Axe Automation
The experience was positive with prompt responses from their team.

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
5.0
Stitch is highly scalable, efficiently managing data loads, with easy server management and impressive speed, despite third-party connection concerns.
Sentiment score
7.4
Zapier is adaptable for small to mid-size businesses, but scaling can be costly and less suitable for complex automations.
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.
Staff Data Engineer at GitLab
Zapier is suitable for small or simpler automation but not for complex ones.
Automation Engineer at Axe Automation
Scaling it gets quite expensive, and while I cannot evaluate it purely from a technology perspective, compared to Workato, I would give Zapier a seven for scalability.

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
8.0
Users praise Stitch's stability and reliability, noting infrequent issues and effective server management across diverse environments.
Sentiment score
6.7
Most users find Zapier reliable, despite occasional connectivity issues and challenges with integration changes affecting performance.
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.
Software Engineer trainee at Lng-consultancy
In my current company, we had significant challenges with Zapier regarding maintenance, as Zaps were often broken, not necessarily due to Zapier, but due to changes in the input variables.
Product Owner | Integration
 

Room For Improvement

Stitch users seek a comprehensive portal with exotic connectors, AI features, and improved support, customization, and integration capabilities.
Zapier needs better Google Sheets features, API support, UI improvements, enhanced logic functions, documentation, and integration capabilities.
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.
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
The error message options in the dashboard should be improved. It should be user-friendly so that beginners or non-technical users can figure out the problems and solutions on their own.
Webflow Developer at Qureos
You can build similar or dependent automations in one Zap, which helps with understanding the process without switching between different records.
Product Owner | Integration
Having flexibility in creating more complex automation would eliminate the need to transform data within the source or destination.

Setup Cost

Stitch offers substantial value despite perceived high costs, though some users seek pricing improvements for better enterprise appeal.
Zapier's pricing ranges from free to $800, depending on usage, with mixed opinions on cost versus time-saving benefits.
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.
Cloud Data Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
The pricing is in accordance with market standards and even lower in some cases.
Chief Technology Advocate at PURESOFT GLOBAL LLC
The pricing of Zapier is slightly higher compared to other market automation tools such as Pabbly, Make.com, and N8N, which have good features but are priced lower than Zapier.

Zapier seamlessly connects apps for task automation, offering intuitive interfaces with advanced features like webhooks and multi-step zaps.
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.

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.

Product Owner | Integration
Diverse integration options support workflow automation while pricing and support need improvements
You can build similar or dependent automations in one Zap, which helps with understanding the process without switching between different records. I would appreciate quicker response times and more direct interactions. It would be great to have a direct contact person for support, but bigger companies usually have solution partners handling support. I do not have a solution partner for Zapier due to using it for small use cases.
