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.

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.

"Stitch has positively impacted my organization by allowing us to create MVPs quickly."
"Easy setup and easy change management are the best features Stitch offers, along with a good admin panel."

Cons

"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."

"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"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."
"Stitch should definitely provide more extractors than it does now and provide the ability for teams to integrate their own extractors."
"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."
"The customer support of Stitch is horrible."
"The conversion to Figma is not effective."
"My experience with customer support for Stitch has been very bad."
"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."
