Flexible and Powerful
What do you like best about the product?
I liked that I can spin up a model and instantly connected it to many disparate systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is sometimes buggy and I don't always understand how to get it refreshed correctly to get my model to show (i.e. sometimes columns i expect don't show up)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Democratizing data across our systems and connected systems that need data from other platforms.
Easy to use Reverse ETL tool
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface makes it easy to understand which syncs are active and when they were last run. Makes our life very easy when maintaining data cleanliness in Salesforce
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it was possible to have multiple users as the connection user so that we know who owns which sync.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating data entry and integrity between our data warehouse and Salesforce.
Best SaaS product I've implemented in the past 8 years
What do you like best about the product?
Census is the easiest to implement, and one of the most powerful toolsl in our tech stack. We use Census to accurately push data to our CRMs, GSheets, and any platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
I really can't think of a single thing. At one point, the platform was more analytics engineer focused, but now, you can go heavy on tech expertise and build your own model OR integrate with something simple. We balance using Census SQL models and just simple BI Looks.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census sends data where and when we want it, accurately. Need to trigger a marketing email when X happens, we have the ability to do it. Need to give the Account Management team more data points, done. Need to provide our sales team with real time context, done.
Very crucial to our data stack
What do you like best about the product?
Simple to use, very helpful to integrate
What do you dislike about the product?
Maybe more documentation of the most popular use cases
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integration with external apps and keeping data references consistent
Excellent Service Provider
What do you like best about the product?
Seamlessly integrates large amounts of data and offers great segmentation for user targeting and syncing for various data sets from our data warehouse to a number of external connectors
What do you dislike about the product?
The tool is very powerful, but to make use of a number of features it may take time to learn.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census segments and distributes data to a number of our digital advertising partners
Solid Reverse ETL, Usage-based Pricing is Limiting
What do you like best about the product?
It just works. We use Census to sync data from our warehouse into marketing, sales, and customer success tools. Whenever we need to add a new field to those tools, Census is our go-to. It's simple, straightforward, and just works as expected.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is a little limiting. We're paying for the number of destination fields so while it's easy to add new fields to Census to sync elsewhere, it's also easy to hit the cap. We find ourselves having to clean out and remove fields on a regular basis that we would otherwise keep syncing. Obviously, we could increase our plan limit to avoid this, but it's easy for costs to scale quickly once you're in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Census to sync fields between tools and from our data warehouse (fivetran/redshift) to tools like Salesforce, Hubspot, Vitally, etc.
Makes data activation easy
What do you like best about the product?
Census makes it really easy to move data between applications or out of your warehouse into other tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's a bit of a learning curve to the interface
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When I need to keep data synced between different tools that don't necessarily integrate directly with each other, Census makes this possible.
Just getting data out of applications into always up-to-date spreadsheets is a huge benefit.

Financial Analyst
What do you like best about the product?
It's very intuitive and easy to use without an engineering background. I was able to navigate the pages using the side panel easily and set up links quickly and accurately.
What do you dislike about the product?
The tests that I ran did not always work off the bat. I also did not pickup on the need to "Force Sync" when changing any of the parameters in the receiving software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping streamline data from our Looker database into Anaplan, which is saving a ton of manual effort pasting the data over from one to the other. It allows me to quickly sync the data and have it reflected in my model.
Useful hub for all data pipeline with statuses.
What do you like best about the product?
Clean interface, real-time data, single source of truth
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like an easier ability to drill into the code bases of what queries are powering the ETL jobs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is aggregating all data pipeline in one place.
Great tool for Salesforce
What do you like best about the product?
Our company uses census to streamline our salesforce/database sync process. This makes the sync between these 2 sources much easier and allows for the flexibility we need in a ETL tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much! The tool does everything we need for this solution.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have some complex calculations that we perform in a system outside of salesforce. This allows us to selectively sync data back and forth between the data warehouse and SFDC.
