Stitch Reviews & Product Details

When we got started with ETL ~4 years ago, it was simple to get up and running. We were able to replicate our primary SQL database (~1TB) of data and data from assorted SaaS tools to our BigQuery data warehouse so we could then transform it with DBT and expose it to our buisiness users.

Since then, it worked with little attention from us. Until it stopped working. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

TLDR:

* The product is not reliable

* They may refuse to support you

* Getting new configurations working requires extensive interaction with Support

* Support will ghost you

Replication of our PostgreSQL database silently stopped and no records were replicated. No errors were reported by Stitch - it just stopped copying data.

After realizing this, we contacted support and were told that we were using an unsupported configuration and they would not support it. This was news to us because this is not documented anywhere in the product, in their documentation, and they had not told us that we were running an unsupported configuration.

To recover we had to scramble to get into a supported configuration by reconfiguring the ETL process using a "supported" configuration. Unfortunately, this turned into a mess because the product was unable to reliably replicate several of our tables. Each time this happened, we had to open support requests (via Intercom chat), and each time this required that they had to make changes to our configuration.

When failures occurred, it was impossible to determine why things were failing. Stitch also appeared to not know why things were failing. Often, things mysterously just started working.

Recovering took us a solid month of work.

Whilst Stitch might appear to work - you can not trust it to continue to work, and if it fails you can expect to spend a significant amount of time to recover. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stitch integrates with most large companies such as Google Ads, Microsoft Ads, etc. One of the best things is that it sets up cost allocation in a very easy straightforward manner. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the UI can be finnicky and takes a while to make a change. I wish the UI was faster sometimes. It could be better by having a faster loading speed time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Code free and easy integration. Also free limit for new integrations which help in testing Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Data quality and customer support: In mongoDB integration not all records are loaded from source to target. Upon reaching the customer service their is too bad. They respond once in 3 days. Data quality is too bad with Stitch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Easy to configure new integration

- Many connectors available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Missing some connectors, i cannot see if they will be created in the next month

- Not possible to reset data an integration (if we want to backfill data) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to set up, straightforward configuration, connects with most major sources (databases) and destinations (data warehouses). Not a lot of fuss to get going with a straightforward CDC setup. Does the right thing 90% of the time. However ... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Core integrations do not seem to be getting maintained or improved. Critical bugs that result in extended customer downtime are not considered breaches of SLA. Terabyte-scale pipelines can get permanently damaged due to minor data issues. Recommend looking at newer generation providers (e.g. HevoData) before committing time and resources to Stitch.

We were setting up our first data warehouse implementation in our startup and looked at various options. We selected Stitch because of the simplicity of pricing, the open-source nature of its inner workings, and ease of onboarding.

So far, we have had no issues with Stitch and have come to rely more and more on it for our critical data replication workflows. Combined with dbt, it is an excellent plug-and-play implementation for anyone looking to scale analytics in their organizations.

However, it has not seen any significant development since it was acquired by Talend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We could easily see outgrowing stitch as our replication demands increase. The pricing we believe is alright at smaller volumes but could easily become an issue as it is row-based (new attributes essentially are a full table replication).

No development since being acquired Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to configure so much. And very easy to use and run data lake very quickly. Even though you use No SQL, Stitch maps your No SQL data into the tabular data format. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One more problem is AWS region problem. I'm using OLTP and OLAP in Seoul region but Stitch is working in the Virginia region. So the cost of network traffic among two different AWS regions is very big part of our AWS cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to use Interface. Very intuitive. Automatically handles array and JSON-type data. A good overall tool for basic use cases, but customization is not possible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Customer Support is not very active

- No new connectors have been added lately, and maintenance of old connectors ar also stopped

- Backfilling is a bit difficult Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Stitch provides frequent patches for problems discovered and helps improve the function to load the data on your destination; it provides easy setting of goals like a snowflake. Stitch documentation is handy and has many integrations, and primary keys logic makes life easier and avoids data duplication. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of openness with integration setups makes evaluating underlying issues difficult when utilizing Stitch's ready-to-use integrations. The only suggestion would be to create a lower price tier for small firms trying to expand. Right now, $100 a month is a little pricey for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
