Cloud Data Architect at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees
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.

Has supported building flexible data pipelines and streamlined ETL orchestration
There should be a dedicated support team for Talend Open Studio. We do have a support team, but at times it is critical for us to fix certain things within one or two hours. Usually, the support team takes some 12 hours, which is the standard edition of support. If we could have round-the-clock support, we would be able to resolve many issues which we encounter during the development part. The initial setup for Talend Open Studio is a little complex. We need to have a dedicated person who has an understanding of Talend Open Studio as a tool. It takes some level of expertise, so it is not an easy process, but once we have a dedicated associate who is knowledgeable in that particular field, it becomes comparatively easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Easy setup and easy change management are the best features Stitch offers, along with a good admin panel."
"Stitch has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to create MVPs quickly."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Stitch for us is ease of use. This solution is fire-and-forget. All an organization has to do is set up the connection or integration and move on."
"The setup process for Stitch was pretty easy, with a plug and play approach where the data is immediately available."
"Stitch has helped my organization achieve better data management, making it easier, as it helps my team access data faster and reduces errors."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"The main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program."
"Stability feels fine."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
 

Cons

"Generally speaking, support is a pain point. In the next release, I would love to see a change in support from the current chat to a more comprehensive portal."
"The conversion to Figma is not effective."
"My experience with customer support for Stitch has been very bad."
"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."
"The customer support of Stitch is horrible."
"The stability of the solution could improve when running jobs. There can be errors when running projects but in the end, it works well and the errors do not impact the result."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"In terms of what can be improved, the scheduling is not there in the sister version, while it is there in the cloud one, which is a paid version. If all kinds of scheduling could be available on the Open Studio that we generally use and practice on, that would be great. The scheduling of the data migration is currently not available in the sister version of Talend Open Studio that we are working on. It is available in the advanced version of the Talend. This is the one thing that can be improvised."
"The initial setup for Talend Open Studio is a little complex. We need to have a dedicated person who has an understanding of Talend Open Studio as a tool."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."

"It is an open-source product."
