- Transform, enrich, and analyze your data on the fly
Fortune 500 companies power their cloud initiatives with Striim
Companies Choose Striim for Scalable, Real-Time Replication
“Our legacy analytics platform used to take an hour per customer data load and weeks for each new deployment. With Striim we are able to transfer operational data to Snowflake in near realtime.”
Prashant Soral,
CTO at Inspyrus
“We chose Striim as it provides continuous access to the data in our MySQL database without impacting its performance, and without taking the data out of the Google Cloud environment.”
Paolo Giangiacomo,
Systems Integration Manager, HomeServe
Striim vs Stitch: Feature-by-Feature Comparison
Cloud-Scale Architecture
Striim scales horizontally on in-memory compute with high availability and failover for maximum uptime.
Stitch also offers a cloud-based, highly-available infrastructure.

Minimizes Downtime
Striim supports long-running transactions with no downtime.
In the event of errors during the extraction and loading steps, Stitch will stop the current job and wait until the next scheduled job to restart the data extraction.

Real-time Transformations + Analysis
Striim is a modern, real-time ELT solution. Striim users can build detailed in-flight transformations, data masking, filtering logic using high-speed SQL queries. Striim scales horizontally with in-memory compute for high performance transformations.
Stitch keeps pre-load data processing to a minimum (they offer transformations to ensure compatibility with the destination).

Real-Time Data Visualization Dashboards
Striim offers real-time dashboards visualizing end-to-end data delivery from source to target. Striim matches source and target transactions and alerts users to missing transactions, making it easy to catch issues as they happen.
Stitch does not offer real time data visualization dashboards.

Real-Time Data Enrichment
Striim supports data enrichment and normalization using in-memory key-value stores for historic data. This allows you to enrich raw, real-time data with historical aggregates and lookup data.
Stitch does not support real-time data enrichment.

Cloud Partnerships
Striim’s cloud partners include Google, Microsoft, AWS and Snowflake. Striim partners closely with cloud vendors to support a full breadth of endpoints for a variety of strategic use cases. Striim also supports deployment via metered and SaaS marketplace offerings to take advantage of cloud scalability.
Stitch also offers cloud partnerships.

High-Performance,
E1P Change Data Capture (CDC)
Striim supports high-performance, E1P log-based CDC for many popular databases including: Oracle, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, MySQL, HPE Nonstop, and SQL Server. E1P, high performance CDC is required for mission-critical workloads.
Stitch supports CDC for databases like Oracle and SQL Server, but they don’t support high-performance, E1P CDC.

Striim offers a modern data platform that's both powerful and easy to use
Create data flows with a few clicks
Select from hundreds of templates to simplify building your data flows. A step-by-step wizard will lead you through the process of connecting to your source and target to create a data flow application. You can also create custom data flows from scratch.
Process your data with real-time SQL queries
Your data flow defines how to collect, process, and deliver data. The simplest data flow just has a source, a stream, and a target. In many cases you will need to perform some processing on your data. Striim enables you to set up continuous SQL queries optimized for streaming, real-time data.
Monitor your data flow in real-time
Our built-in dashboards and monitoring enable you to see the state of your data flows in real-time and easily identify any bottlenecks. Striim can also validate that your data has been delivered and provide visibility into the end-to-end lag. This level of visibility is essential for mission-critical systems that may have SLAs regarding how current the data is.
You can also drill down on any of the components in a data flow to see detailed statistics that include read/write rate, lag, latency, cpu usage and many other metrics. This detailed information can help identify any bottlenecks, and aids in tuning data flows for maximum performance and minimal latency.
Set alerts and create workflows to take corrective action
Striim allows you to define SQL-based custom alerts so you can stay informed about the status and performance of your data flows.
In the case of errors, or failures, you can also automate workflows to perform corrective actions. By tapping into error or status streams you can trigger compensating data flows to start, or perform other actions to remediate problems.
Striim gives us a single source of truth across domains and speeds our time to market delivering a cohesive experience across different systems.
