Syncs data from Snowflake to Salesforce easier and better than anything else I've used
What do you like best about the product?
The setup is very easy and handles everything on its own. I don't need to baby sit my syncs, they manage themselves.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it had more destination options so I could leverage its self-management for other integrations. Maybe even an open API data-export pipeline.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is reliably syncing business transaction data into our Salesforce CRM and allows us to build additional business processes in Salesforce off that data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If your primary goal is to migrate data from a Cloud database to Salesforce this is the best tool I've found.
Data to the people
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to address my org's data needs with minimal involvement from engineering teams.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not Census' fault, but the things that you can do (e.g. drive proactive alerting) are limited by your data structure (e.g. database is read only).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No functional leader ever has enough data. Census closes that gap by giving me the power to query, transform, and move that data to where it is most actionable.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is easy to try this tool before you buy. The value is inherently clear once you use the tool.
I've used Census at 2 companies that were early adopters, I use Census a few times a week.
What do you like best about the product?
Census is helpful because with minimal effort/coding I can sync data directly to business systems. Operators can also use the tool because it is straight forward.
What do you dislike about the product?
Debugging can occasionally be difficult. If a model breaks, understanding the issue with the model can take diving into DBT to understand what's wrong. It'd be nice if there was more feedback.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census makes it easy for business stakeholders to use clean data in the tool of their choice. It benefits me because now I don't have to be on the line for data reliability questions, things can just match our DWH.
A must have for any forward-thinking and data-driven organisation
What do you like best about the product?
Census enables our commercial teams to make better data-driven decisions and allows us to run unprecedented automation in our CRMs and enables cross-system analytics and reports. What earlier took our engineering teams days or weeks to set up - and even longer to maintain - is accomplished by an analyst in Census in minutes. Cannot recommend this tool enough. The team behind Census is amazing and extremely supportive, takes feedback well and acts upon it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI isn't always on point in my opinion, but it serves the purpose well. UX in the app itself is not always intuitive, but you get the hang of it quickly, and the team seems to always be working improving it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census solves Reverse ETL primarily for our commercial teams and their tools. It has enabled them to be more productive and has reduced our overall tool stack since reps no longer need to use both a CRM, random spreadsheets, a BI tool, and various other data sources. They can all be connected to the CRM, and we can show the reps the relevant information - and alert them of positive and negative trends.
Huge unlock for our Marketing Org
What do you like best about the product?
Census was easy to implement and is quick and easy to update. The Census team has gone above and beyond to ensure our success!
What do you dislike about the product?
Some Marketo integration errors have required our attention, however, the Census team has gone above and beyond to help us troubleshoot.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census allows us to move data from our data warehouse into our Marketing systems with relatively few developer resources.
Great tool for Extract Load processes - very simple UI and no code required
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy and intuitive to use - there is no code required. Within minutes I was able to set up a data transfer from BigQuery to Hubspot without having to interact with either of the APIs
What do you dislike about the product?
I did run into an error upon loading the fields from my data source. However, upon a refresh in the web browser, the issue disappeared
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's a no-code tool for data transfers between various platforms
Essential data tool for consolidating our customer views and analyses
What do you like best about the product?
Census's tool has a straightforward UI that's easy to adopt, allowing you to spend the majority of your time assessing business value and validating results.
What do you dislike about the product?
The alerting functionality, which lets the user know if sync jobs have failed, sometimes misses the mark and doesn't quickly alert.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census allows us to consolidate multiple usage data views about our customers into a streamlined experience for our customer-facing teams.
Census has directly impacted how we use data
What do you like best about the product?
Census is easy to use and responsive to feedback. We currently use census in marketing audiences, salesforce, iterable, and zendesk ticket information. It is easy to set up and I love the integration with dbt cloud
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like that I cant write custom connectors. Compared to other tools like hightouch, census is very non-configurable on the engineering side. Having a open source connector shell would be very helpful for many of our tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest impact census has currently is in our zendesk ticket information. We now update zendesk customer support tickets with information about the transaction and user within 30 minutes of ticket creation. This allows our overseas customer support team to not leave the app at all to respond and fix user issues. Its sped up our throughput significantly
Best new SaaS product to add to your toolkit
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use, responsive team, solves a lot
What do you dislike about the product?
The Slackbot could use a bit of work and more customization
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to move data to 3rd party tools using just SQL. We can run marketing experiments without much eng lift now.
It is easily one of the best and simplest Reverse ETL tool I have ever used!
What do you like best about the product?
Learning to use this tool was very easy. It has a simple and effective UI which makes it easier to navigate between models and syncs. You can easily connect your Data WH, perform the data transformation using SQL and make a connection with your CRM, GTM tools, and customer communication platforms like Intercom, Google Sheets, etc. to execute the reverse ETL process. The most recent interface updates have improved navigation and I would highly recommend this tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would love to use a python script in Census and do the reverse ETL (push data into our CRM). This functionality is not available right now in Census. This feature would help us to build our predictive models directly in python and load the output data directly into our destination. This would be a powerful addition to our analytics efforts here at Crossbeam.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are lots of data requests that our team asks for from time to time and we need to push those data points into our CRM, GTM tools, and customer communication platforms like Intercom. To do that effectively and efficiently, Census has been a big help and a game-changer.
