Quick and easy tool with excellent support
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy and streamlined it is to set up and maintain syncs within Census. The amount of documentation available was enough to guide me through setup processes alone. Census makes it extremely easy to connect to my dbt project with clean integration. What pushed Census above and beyond was their eagerness and availability to work with me through issues that presented themselves through my setup process. Special thanks to Sean and Kurt for taking additional measures to ensure my issues were solved and always followed up in a timely manner with updates or fixes. Their excellent responsiveness has made it easy to overcome any problems that I encountered.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were a few known issues that I ran into when creating a connection with my dbt project. These were known issues that other customers were also experiencing. However, Kurt on the implementation team took thorough action to ensure that these issues were resolved quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reverse ETL through Census has been extremely helpful in getting data from the data warehouse into Salesforce. The CI checks are also extremely helpful in making sure that there are no downstream breakages from dbt changes.
Extremely easy way to get your data to the people who need it most!
What do you like best about the product?
Great no-code way to get data into apps like Salesforce, Braze, Criteo, or any one of their integrations. You connect to your SQL database, write a Census in query, map the source and destination fields, and set a schedule for the sync.
What do you dislike about the product?
Small sync failures used to be semi-common. But recently, it hasn't been an issue. They've done a good job supporting the product and improving it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reverse ELT. Getting data out of our data warehouse and into applications our business uses. Biggest use case for us is Braze and Salesforce.
Reverse ETL in minutes
What do you like best about the product?
Several available connectors ready for use. And when there is not one, the support is excellent

Quick and easy reverse ETL to social media accounts
A great tool to get data easily into all the places you need it
What do you like best about the product?
Census connects to all the destinations that we need. Configuring syncs is easy, and the platform has been reliable. The Census team has been fast, responsive, and exceedingly helpful when we needed support.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they let you download the complete set of sync error logs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census lets us get data into crucial business tools without integrating with each tool's API directly.
Fantastic Reverse ETL tool
What do you like best about the product?
We use Census to push data from our data warehoues (BigQuery) to third party tools like HubSpot and Salesforce. We've never run into any issues with Census and its UI is simple and intuitive. Love how focused and reliable the product is.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I dislike about Census. Everyone at the company on the data team as well as those on other teams (marketing, sales) that rely on the data are huge fans. So glad we're no longer using Zapier for this.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census lets us update data in HubSpot and Salesforce with data that we have in our data warehouse, BigQuery. This ensures that marketing and sales have easy access to all of the relevant data points about our customers and users.
I really liked using Census. It helps provide scalability between dbt and Salesforce
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use GUI.
I can easily transfer data between dbt and Salesforce and the whole company stays aligned

Syncing our customers across all channels. We have a huge customer database and want to ensure we're marketing to the same cohorts across all channels. Creates an omni-channel experience.
The leading low-code data ingestion solution
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran offers a truly competitive solution for data integration, in particular when you're looking to connect to a source application and ingest that data into a Data Warehouse or Data Lake and to do that with minimal development/configuration/customization. The best features are:
- The number of application connectors. There are hundreds of connectors to both SaaS/Web based applications such as Salesforce, Coupa, JIRA, etc as well as database and on-premise, of particular interest to us was SAP
- The ease of configuration/setup to integrate to a source connection and the time taken to ingest and synch to a destination connection
- The Data Change Capture (CDC) feature for many of the connectors (not all connectors offer CDC) is very slick and will easily manage INSERTS, UPDATES, DELETES in your data and track the date/time of those changes
- The ability to connect to SAP and manage CDC through the database logs. This provides a minimal intrusion feature that is not reliant on many other SAP connectors/integrations which go through the API layer (RFC)
- The SAP integration can ingest many of the complicated SAP objects such as long-text data/tables involving structures like pool and cluster
- The easy UI that allows you to change basic configurations such as frequency of update, tables/fields required to ingest and usage/billing
- Technical Support is excellent and responsive, although you probably have to be on the Business Critical support to realize this
- Integration with dbt and an emerging "Marketplace" of pre-built models and transformations

What do you dislike about the product?
- The support for dbt does not currently include Azure Synapse, which is what we are using for our Data Platform
- The frequency of refresh configuration is good, but it would also be good if you could have a "Date/Time" of refresh rather than a synch period such as "Every 1 hour, every 24 hours, etc"
- Would be nice if Fivetran could support the ingestion of SAP structure fields/tables
- Would be great if Fivetran could ingest SAP BW data

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- We can now ingest data from some of our enterprise applications where it has been extremely difficult or near impossible previously. Many of the previous "integrations" existed of basic text/csv exports from some of our applications or emailed reports. This process was very manual, and now the data just appears in our Data Lake and, all the changes are handled beautifully.
- In SAP, some tables are very difficult sometimes, impossible to ingest without major development/integration efforts, such as ingesting pool/cluster tables. The method we have previously used in going via the SAP API (RFC) has also been much slower, and managing the data changes has had to be managed programmatically
- We will be able to ingest data from some applications at a higher frequency than daily/nightly, which helps with the number of use cases we often have to deal with around manufacturing processes

Fantastic tool, great support!
What do you like best about the product?
Support has been fantastic in helping get everything up and running. It's highly customizable and straightforward to use.

Not everything is plug and play -- there is absolutely some coding still needed and experience with APIs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping bridge the gap of needing SQL abilities to query Zendesk data.
