Comparison

Improvado

Improvado automates the annoying parts of data management. With Improvado, marketers are no longer at the mercy of non-scalable manual processes. Costly and valuable developer time is now freed up, no longer from having to create interfaces, host and maintain databases, normalize data, and visualize reports.

Blendo

Blendo is a self-serving integration-as-a-service platform. It enables you to collect and sync your data using any data warehouse. Such data warehouses can be sourced from a variety of departments (e.g., sales, marketing, customer support, product, etc). Blendo also emphasizes the speed with which you can build a full data infrastructure that is fresh and aligned with the rest of the data in your company.
If you’re interested in Blendo, but want to be certain before you make the purchase, we’ve compiled a list of platforms similar to Blendo to help you compare your options.

Stitch

Stitch Data is a cloud-first, open-source ETL platform that enables business teams to rapidly and securely move data from multiple sources to designated data warehouses for fast and efficient analysis.

The platform is an integral part of the Talend Data Fabric, providing prebuilt connectors to over 100 databases and SaaS applications, with support for leading data warehousing platforms like Snowflake, RedShift, BigQuery, and Azure Synapse Analytics.

Stitch Data offers a simple interface with ready-to-query schemas designed to accelerate the process of onboarding and extracting insights from new data sources.

The platform, as stated in one of its documentation pages, does not support user-defined data transformation. This means that you can’t carry out advanced data transformation processes on the platform. It does support and automate a few basic preload transformation processes, like JSON structures, data typing, object names, etc., but these are only sufficient for light- and medium-duty data warehousing needs. Advanced data transformation capabilities can only be accessed by signing up on Talend, Stitch Data’s “parent platform”.

The platform is also compliant with major security protocols, including SOC-2 and HIPAA.

Support, documentation, and training

Improvado

Improvado’s data dictionary provides a complete overview of all marketing reports across different providers. The dictionary describes metrics, properties, dimensions, and more. Besides, Improvado provides an extensive library of dashboards and explains how to adjust them for your exact use case. If users can’t find the required information in Improvado’s documentation, they always have a dedicated support manager who will answer all their questions. Finally, companies that don’t have enough resources for adjusting dashboards and dealing with data operations can use Improvados’ Professional Services package to augment their in-house team with experienced offsite marketing experts.

Blendo

Blendo provides a contact form on its website for all inquiries. Users can also contact the team via a live chat interface. Documentation comes in the form of a knowledge base, eBooks and guides, blog posts, and a changelog.

Stitch

Stitch provides support via a live chat portal. However, phone support is only available to Enterprise customers. The platform offers open-source documentation, so anyone can contribute to the repository. Users are also supported with a blog and a community forum. However, Stitch doesn’t provide any training service.
