Easy setup
What do you like best about the product?
Amount of different integrations available with a couple of clicks and no additional coding required to get started. Particularly we were missing an integration like this for Chartmogul which doesn't seem to be so popular and found it here.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is kind of hard to understand what each item in the schema means, since the documentation may refer to something but not exactly what it means which makes it hard to know if that table is or not necessary for each specific use case. A glossary with more detail definition on what each table includes and what each thing means would expedite the onboarding process with each new connector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Almost real time syncing of different platforms to big query
Fivetran is great for SaaS use-cases
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup, schema management and error alerting
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost structure can be a pain for startups, especially at high volumes. Specific use cases do not make financial sense for smaller companies and tighter budgets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick ETL from our SaaS tools into our Database. It allowed our Analytics team to quickly become valuable rather than building custom pipelines for Salesforce and Asana.
Reduces the workload of a small team & good customer support while onboarding
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Good documentation. Good Customer Support. Exhaustive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive. Needs work for more complex data sources. Doesnt pull all data from sources such as Drip & Intercom
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data extraction from varied number of sources
Easy onboarding, great documentation and toolkit for a decent price
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran maybe has fewer connectors than some other prividers but quality and easy is what we value the most. Their support for dbt transformers and pricing is what made us choose fivetran.
Additionally on dbt - I don't really know any other provider who is hosting dbt for you as usually its your problem how/where to host, plus templates fivetran opensourced are top notch!

What do you dislike about the product?
Interface could be buggy time to time - blank white page or when you try to inspect dbt tree hence it's still in beta and doesn't happen often
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing Data aggregation from various sources and transformations to later be used in dashboarding
Implementation
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to implement, the process is logical and does not require much handholding without knowing what the underlying technical complexities are
What do you dislike about the product?
Quite a few settings to setup in the initial flow, could set with some default option and allow users to tweak after setup. Also quite a few crashes on large queries
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Importing large amount of data on sheets and updating it regularly without crashing it. I ma more productive as a result not having to spend more time updating analysis that users can work off, it allows for me to convert gsheets into dashboards
Good product for getting information from BI tools to marketing platforms
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and works like lots of marketing platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
Cant connect looker directly to census (requires snowflake)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting first party data into marketing platforms
Census has been simple to use and their CS team has been remarkably helpful.
What do you like best about the product?
It's seemingly the only tool that does what it does. The UI is really clean and simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would be reaching to find something wrong with the product. It does what it does. It would be nice to sync data into more objects types, but they're a newer company and moving fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping us as a reverse ETL. It's basically the only GUI-based reverse ETL solution out there.
The service census provides is great and the customer support is responsive and great
What do you like best about the product?
The service itself. We don't need to integrate with 3rd party by ourselves. save eng resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's still some glitch for some integration. But the customer support is very helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of integrating with different marketing and sales tools. We save eng resources of integrating those APIs by ourselves
Operationalize your data
What do you like best about the product?
I love the easy and intuitive interface of Census. The learning curve is very minimal and the tool is easy to pick up and run with. The number of sources and destinations offered are extensive and meet our business needs.
What do you dislike about the product?
If you incorrectly set up a sync, it can be difficult to make changes to the sync without setting up an entirely new sync and deleting the original. Other than that, no complaints!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reverse ETL using Census has changed the game for our organization. The ability to get data in the hands of business users without requiring them to leave Salesforce has helped to make our org much more data-driven. Census has removed a layer of friction in that users have key data points where they want them, without having to log into or learn a new tool.
Great tool for analytics engineers
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of setting up syncs and scheduling them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Looking for historical logs of the syncs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had issues managing and pushing data into our multiple systems. Census helped us solve this with ease.
