What do you like best about the product?
Simplicty and ease of use. The RevOps team owns this tooling and is able to easily onboard to Census and own the flow. Setting up new syncs is realtively quick and stratightforward. Strong technical skills aren't required to operate the product. Customer service is really good. Great team!
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's hard to debug why new syncs aren't landing into Salesforce. It would be nice to have some sort of sandbox environment to test new syncs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping us sync data from BigQuery and unload that data into Salesforce so the Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams can operationalize that data.

Reliable solution for reverse ETL

  • November 21, 2022

What do you like best about the product?
Census is just a reliable product. We have a need to push data from Snowflake to Salesforce and rely on Census to do this daily. It works and I rarely even have to pay attention to it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Census only does batch reverse ETL, so if there were a need for near real time reverse ETL, census wouldn't be an answer. We also tried to push Json data from postgres to json data in S3 and struggled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census helps up move data from analytical database to operational system so people can see the data we've transformed in the place they're working instead of forcing them to a Bi tool.

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.

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.
