Program Manager
What do you like best about the product?
So easy to use and can be applied to many use cases.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only as good as your own data. Often you'll need to coordinate with other folks in order to get the data you need and make it available to census.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pushing data from our data warehouse to our tooling, like Salesforce.
Easy to Use Reverse ETL Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Census makes it extremely easy to send data from our production database, included calculated fields or summarized results, to SaaS applications that we use for operational analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I've struggled with is detailed error reporting. I haven't figured out a way to only subscribe to errors from certain syncs/workflows that are relevant to my role.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census allows us to move data from our data warehouse back into SaaS systems. For example, we can send usage data about our customers to our CRM or marketing email triggers into our email delivery service.
Easy to Use, Sometimes Hard to Understand Problems

Once everything was setup, it has been remarkably easy to maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up the connection to Salesforce could be pretty confusing, and the error logs weren't especially helpful.

Loading Salesforce data on a schedule into our warehouse
Great for automating reports database <> Google Sheets!

Love Census and how simple it is
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love the simplicity of the tool - it's completely untangled our data streams and has helped teams from Rev ops to Demand Gen.
What do you dislike about the product?
The onboarding is a little confusing, and could use some work in terms of explaining key concepts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cenus is allowing to connect our numerous data streams into one place. It has benefitted teams across our GTM and EPD orgs.
I work as a Data Scientist, building SQL queries for Census pipelines.
What do you like best about the product?
The upsides of Census are as follows
* Intuitive UI for scheduling jobs and creating new data sources
* Satisfactory alerting for when jobs break
* Relatively stable data writes to Google Sheets (which I predominantly use).

What do you dislike about the product?
* Columns don't always auto-calibrate when changing the data source/query
* Perception that there is not as much transparency around which G Sheets the data writes out to
* Not great ability to reduce sprawl with similar or outdated queries + jobs
* Perception that there is not as much transparency around which G Sheets the data writes out to
* Not great ability to reduce sprawl with similar or outdated queries + jobs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A lot of our organization relies on Google Sheets, so my team predominantly uses Census to refresh data into Google Sheets from our database so we can syndicate our data out to more users who aren't as SQL Savvy.
Working well for out of the box and custom connectors
What do you like best about the product?
There is a wide variety of out of the box connectors for hundreds of sources and they all seem to work pretty well. I also like there isn't a charge on a per connector basis, it's based on rows.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customer connector setup works fine, however it takes a fair of technical work to write Lambda and integrate with FiveTran, I wonder if there could be a framework that could provide which would just work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FiveTran is bringing data in for 4 different sources using out of the box connectors, we also write 2 of our custom connectors, to pull data from the source into our warehouse on a daily basis.
Very straight-forward and intuitive to use
What do you like best about the product?
- Setting up a new connector is very simple, never seen it in such an easy way
- During the trial and when trialing a new connector I love the usage estimator
- Documentation is very good and very helpful
- During the trial and when trialing a new connector I love the usage estimator
- Documentation is very good and very helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
- Quite some time for some connectors to understand how the data is structured (e.g. Hubspot does not match completely with the UI of the tool unless you apply some filtering)
- Setting up custom connectors not as intuitive
- Setting up custom connectors not as intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows for no code data extraction and modelling (pre-built dbt models that can be used) which is very intuitive and straight-forward even for a business user without engineering knowledge.
A great, easy tool.
What do you like best about the product?
Census is really easy and simple to use. It's really quick to send data to tools such as Zendesk, Hubspot, Salesforce etc. It's also been really easy to implement at our company.
We've been mainly using it with Hubspot and so far, so good!

What do you dislike about the product?
Can sometimes require going back and forth between HubSpot's documentation and Census' documentation to troubleshoot something.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pushing data into HubSpot.
