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

"Stitch has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to create MVPs quickly."
"The setup process for Stitch was pretty easy, with a plug and play approach where the data is immediately available."
"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."
"Stitch has helped my organization achieve better data management, making it easier, as it helps my team access data faster and reduces errors."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"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."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"This product is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"My experience with customer support for Stitch has been very bad."
"The customer support of Stitch is horrible."
"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."
"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."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"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 product could be more intuitive."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"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."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
