    Computer Software

No frills ETL for 99% of usecases

  • November 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
1. It has all the sources and destinations that I need
2. The documentation is very helpful
3. The editor is very intuitive
4. Email alerts/notifications are a lifesaver
What do you dislike about the product?
1. There is a bit of a learning curve
2. No dbt support
3. It could be faster (although this is more of a nice to have)
4. It's very opinionated now. I would prefer it allow more of a "building blocks" approach to some pipelines
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data about our marketing and sales efforts sit in disparate B2B systems and the data warehouse due to the operational complexity of our business. Census saves us 100s of hours in building custom data pipelines

Census is a huge timesaver and makes onboarding new tools seamless

  • November 21, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love that we don't have to write a custom integration to connect our data warehouse to our applications. It's a huge time saver and allows us more freedom to experiment & add new things.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a lot of things! There are a handful of integrations that I'd like them to add, but they are typically super responsive and add them pretty quickly. I hadn't set up my error notifications correctly, so I missed a handful of times when a sync broke. But the notifications are there, you just have to remember to customize.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of being difficult/manual to connect the data in our Snowflake data warehouse to other tools that we use. This enables to do so much more with our data - connecting it to marketing automation tools to send more intelligent/relevant emails to our users, and to our CRM so sales reps know which users are most active in our product, and so much more.

What do you like best about the product?
The easiness to set up connector with different platforms and the accuracy of the data. If there was a problem, the customer service people tend to help out right away.
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be good to get a projected MAR usage and cost based on the changes you make in the in-between months. As currently, it only shows i'm projectd to spend $300 by in fact it would be way under $150.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building custom tables of daily KPIs from different platforms.
As a consultancy, we save a lot of time gathering data from different platforms and analysing with Fivetran compared to the traditional way.

Great Low/No Code ETL and takes the headache out of large, regular data lift and shifts

  • November 17, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Quick to get in place. Lots of support for applications and standard connections
What do you dislike about the product?
Can become expensive for data heavy integrations which potentially are still easy or much cheaper with other solutions which means you end up with multiple ETL tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Their out of the box connector saved a huge amount of work getting data out of an enterprise platform and across to our data warehouse.

Good software but expensive compared to competitor like stitch

  • November 17, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
quality product, more solid than competitor's product
What do you dislike about the product?
price, much much more expensive, and force customers to sync unnecessary tables that drives up the cost. stitch is much, much, cheaper when it works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sourcing data from various saas software without me handling all the api calls

Fivetran helped my startup get control of our data

  • November 17, 2022
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran offers a wide selection of pre-packaged connectors that covers the majority of use cases but also allows users to leverage the power of custom functions (e.g Azure Functions) in order to create their custom connectors
What do you dislike about the product?
Oftentimes the user interface is a little slow to respond or does not instantly update. I also wish I could be given more advanced options on how to manage "broken" connectors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to connect new data sources to my warehouse and manage everything easily without having to maintain any data engineering infrastructure, all by using an intuitive UI. This benefits me by saving me time and taking away the need for a dedicated person in my team that would work on data engineering.
