The ONLY solution for Microsoft SQL Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Super simple to set up and manage in comparison with other products on the market. FiveTran also gives complete control over what data is needed and how it is transformed into the new location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Better integrations with other platforms such as Pipedrive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed Microsoft SQL data migrated into a data warehouse. Fivetran has been the most accessible and affordable option to allow us to do this regularly without any issues.
Powerful & Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very intuitive. We were able to start pushing data back into our CRM almost immediately. Census has very deep integrations with the apps we use, so in addition to mapping fields into standard objects, we're also able to easily sync data into custom objects and create object associations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see an overall report/list of all the destination fields we're syncing into. It would also be very helpful if Census supported creating HubSpot quotes, which HubSpot recently exposed through their API.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a software product company. Our primary use case involves syncing product usage data into our CRM and marketing automation platform for segmentation and sales lead prioritization.
Helped us a lot
What do you like best about the product?
Census made it really easy for us to conduct simple reverse-etl tasks without having to get our engineering team involved. This made it a lot easier to make changes when we needed to do so.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve with the software, and those who are more senior level or less-technical might have a bit of a higher lift to become proficient in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census allows companies to take data from disparate places such as product databases or tools that do not natively connect to crm systems. These extra connections make it much easier to share insights.
Great user experience and support
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is so intuitive and the docs are helpful.
What do you dislike about the product?
The recovery can be dangerous if you don't sync properly
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can centralize data from all my tools and then push to my systems.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Doesn't integrate with specific tools, so check before purchasing if your tools integrate
- Building a connector is significant work, although I have never tested this directly
- It is challenging to edit certain aspects of a connector, but since it's so easy to set up a new one, this isn't a big deal
- Recovery from a connection that wasn't correctly setup can be extensive

Reverse ETL - sending data from multiple sources that have been cleaned and transformed back into critical software to present to the rest of the company. This allows users to get the information they need in one place.
Quick and easy way to sync data from DWH to business systems
What do you like best about the product?
I'm not a primary user of Census, but I do admin a connected business system that relies on product data to function. Census is one of the quickest and easiest ways I've ever used to get product data from a data warehouse to a connected system. I don't even know SQL, but I was able to modify a query that our data team outlined for me to test and deploy a sync in under half a day. I'm looking forward to learning basic SQL so that I can start self-serving the data my team needs through Census.
What do you dislike about the product?
My biggest con of Census currently is not knowing SQL, which is just a gap in my skill set. Once I build knowledge of basic SQL, I don't think I'll have many complaints about the system. Of course, the usability of Census is dependent upon the cleanliness and organization of our DWH, which could use some work, but that's our problem. :)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I've used Census to push product usage data from our data warehouse into a connected business system. There, we use the data to measure and score customer health, drive action to customer-facing teams, and visualize product usage in the system our reps are working in.
Census is essentially doing my job
What do you like best about the product?
Census makes data so much more accessible to our CRM. Our RevOps and marketing team can get all the data from our warehouse into Salesforce, with very minimal work on my end.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've had an overwhelmingly positive experience with census. One small thing I wish was available was the ability to clone whole syncs or configurations. A lot of the time we'll set something up with a sandbox environment first for QA. It would remove the redundant work of having to do the exact same thing for another destination, but it is a minor inconvenience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unlocking more insights in salesforce, helping us tie important data to our ad audiences, and ultimately making our data warehouse a bit more accessible without having to grant local permissions to a number of users.
Good Reverse ETL Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The fastest and easiest way to send data to Salesforce.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's a good question but still need to figure out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Timely data records push to different instances helps the team to deliver things on time.
Easy and efficient way to move data
What do you like best about the product?
The error logs and messages are easy to access. Failure retry has also made our error counts fall
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, there is nothing I particularly dislike
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census allows us to move data from our warehouse to all of our commercial tools. This means all of our data is consistent across platforms
Great tool!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the visibility to all the connections and the alerts if a sync fails. Also, the tool is very user-friendly, which is super helpful for non-technical folks!
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of anything that I outright dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census allows us to load more data from our product into our marketing automation tools. This will enable marketers to target users easily. It allows for more product-usage data, which leads to less time focusing on the targeting and more time on the offers we want to to put in front of users.
