Offloads processes on the server side but needs better installation syntax
One area for improvement is the installation process. Another point could be the syntax, as it sometimes involves using syntax names that are not intuitive. For example, to calculate the difference between two dates, the general syntax in SAS is called the data difference or data net function. However, another name is used, such as NF and INK. Without knowledge of SAS programming, it becomes unclear what these functions mean. It is not good to define function names this way.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."
"The solution is very stable."
"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."
"A key feature allows us to enhance job performance by offloading processing to the server side, rather than processing on the server itself."
"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."
"Stitch has helped my organization achieve better data management, making it easier, as it helps my team access data faster and reduces errors."
"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."
"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 setup process for Stitch was pretty easy, with a plug and play approach where the data is immediately available."
"Easy setup and easy change management are the best features Stitch offers, along with a good admin panel."
"After setting up Stitch, that pipeline maintenance dropped down to practically zero, cutting our data integration and engineering workload by at least eighty to ninety percent and allowing us to get data into our dashboards in real time instead of waiting days for manual updates."
 

Cons

"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"The initial setup had issues, and even after using it for about one year, it was still not fixed."
"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"Something that could improve is writing SQL to integration studio because it is not that straightforward. There should be better integration with other software."
"One area for improvement is the installation process."
"To be frank enough, I will say right now that since we are not using it, they are too expensive."
"The conversion to Figma is not effective."
"If there is something Stitch can improve, I would say it is the pricing structure."
"The inspiration aspect for creating new screens could also have new versions, because the ones it creates look very generic."
"Stitch can be improved by being able to connect the design system to it, and being able to design any components from that design system would be the best improvement."
"My experience with customer support for Stitch has been very bad."
"Stitch should definitely provide more extractors than it does now and provide the ability for teams to integrate their own extractors."
"Until then, it does get a little bit complicated when we have Qlik and Stitch components together."
