Overview

Jitterbit in Short

Jitterbit Harmony is a cloud-based integration platform that supports ETL, API integration, and application connectivity. Its core concept is “Harmony Cloud Integration,” where users design “Jitterpaks” (integration packages) via a visual interface. Jitterbit offers pre-built connectors to major SaaS apps (Salesforce, NetSuite), on-prem databases, and flat files. It also supports real-time API creation from data sources and transformation using SQL or scripting.

Pros

Pre-built connectors for CRM, ERP, databases, and flat files; plus the ability to build custom connectors via SDK.
API creation feature: turn data flows into REST or SOAP endpoints on the fly.
Visual Studio for designing Jitterpaks (pipelines), with drag-and-drop mapping and transformation steps.
Real-time and batch modes supported; can deploy on Jitterbit’s cloud or your own servers (hybrid).

Cons

Complex licensing (based on endpoints, environments, and usage) can be expensive for heavy data volumes.
Studio interface can feel less modern compared to newer iPaaS; large, complex flows can become unwieldy.
Some advanced transformations require writing custom code rather than purely using GUI.

Reviews & Quotes

Jitterbit Harmony Overview:

What I like about Jitterbit

“Jitterbit’s Studio UI makes building integrations straightforward, and the API creation feature lets us expose data to external apps quickly.”

What I dislike about Jitterbit

“Pricing is tiered and can be high as you add more endpoints or data volume. Complex transformations sometimes require scripting, despite the low-code interface.”

Overview

Stitch in Short

Acquired by Talend in 2018, Stitch Data is a cloud open-source and developer-focused ELT platform that offers no-code connectors to bring data into your warehouse. Stitch offers compatibility with a broad range of data sources and destinations. It also enables customers to construct new sources based on Singer's standards, an open-source toolkit designed for scriptwriting.

Pros

Easy to setup and use
A cost-friendly pricing model that's easy to understand and based on usage
Integrates with Talend
Includes transformations with JSON
Fully managed no-code ELT data pipelines

Cons

Require deep technical knowledge to get full value out of the platform
The quality can vary a lot between different connectors as they are not maintained by Stitch
Depends on the Singer open source framework which can break without notice

What I like about Stitch

“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.”

What I dislike about Stitch

“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.”

What I like about Weld

“First and foremost, Weld is incredibly user-friendly. The graphical interface is intuitive, which makes it easy to build data workflows quickly and efficiently. Even with little experience in SQL and pipeline management, we found that Weld was straightforward and easy to use. What really impressed me, however, was Weld's flexibility. It was able to handle data from a wide variety of sources, including SQL databases, Google Sheets, and even APIs. The solution also allowed us to customize my data transformations in a way that best suited my needs. Whether I needed to clean data, join tables, or aggregate data, Weld had the necessary tools to accomplish the task. Weld's performance was also exceptional. I was able to run large-scale ETL jobs quickly and efficiently, with minimal downtime via a Snowflake instance and visualization via own-hosted Metabase. The solution's scalability meant that I could process more data without any issues. Another standout feature of Weld was its support. I never felt lost or unsure about how to use a particular feature, as the support team was always quick to respond to any questions or concerns that I had. Overall, I highly recommend Weld as an ETL solution. Its user-friendliness, flexibility, performance, and support make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to streamline their data integration processes. I will definitely be using Weld for all my ETL needs going forward.”

What I dislike about Weld

“Weld is still limited to a certain number of integrations - although the team is super interested to hear if you need custom integrations.”
