Easy to Use Reverse ETL Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Census makes it extremely easy to send data from our production database, included calculated fields or summarized results, to SaaS applications that we use for operational analytics.
What do you dislike about the product?
One thing I've struggled with is detailed error reporting. I haven't figured out a way to only subscribe to errors from certain syncs/workflows that are relevant to my role.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census allows us to move data from our data warehouse back into SaaS systems. For example, we can send usage data about our customers to our CRM or marketing email triggers into our email delivery service.
It mostly works
What do you like best about the product?
It has been easy to get less technical users such as salesforce admins who know just a bit of SQL to get going with their basic syncs
What do you dislike about the product?
Our Okta/SSO configuration has been pretty problematic. It might be on our part since the IT manager who set it up left, but even the UI to sign in with Okta instead of with Google is kinda messy as it expects you to write in your email and infer that our company is using that SSO option.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting data from our warehouse into other systems like SFDC and Zendesk. Saves me and my team the implementation and maintenance cost of each of those pipelines, while allowing stakeholders to make updates on their own as well.
Easy to Use, Sometimes Hard to Understand Problems
What do you like best about the product?
Once everything was setup, it has been remarkably easy to maintain.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up the connection to Salesforce could be pretty confusing, and the error logs weren't especially helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Loading Salesforce data on a schedule into our warehouse
Absolute No-Brainer
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran as a tool is incredibly intuitive and, due to its speedy implementation time, almost immediately generates value for the business. Additionally, no real coding experience is required to use the tool, making it an excellent choice for analysts without an engineering background.
What do you dislike about the product?
Potentially, one could argue that Fivetran's pricing is steep - especially if you plan on syncing high-volume connectors like Google Search or Google Ads (at least those are the highest-volume connectors for us).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Fivetran allows us to centralize data across our most essential source systems. The seamless integration with dbt additionally facilitates the planning and execution of transformation jobs overarching the whole data pipeline. The only thing currently missing is some Reverse ETL feature.
Great tool for our lean startup tech stack
What do you like best about the product?
Census is easy to use and connects our different data sources, providing the correct information to the business units. Writing SQL quickly to give the right team data without involving our dev team has streamlined our business.
What do you dislike about the product?
When you have a lot of continuous syncs going on at once, it can bog down our data warehouse, which will sometimes hinder our data team's ability to execute timely queries.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were looking for a tool that allowed us to quickly connect and send data to systems for different business units to take advantage of. Census cut out the need for developers to write APIs and allows us to send data on the fly by simply adjusting a SQL query.
Great for automating reports database <> Google Sheets!
What do you like best about the product?
Custom queries, dynamic sync times, email alerting
What do you dislike about the product?
clunky interface, difficult to manage column ordering in platform for exports
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated query updates to support google-sheets based dashboards
Great Functionality
What do you like best about the product?
The easy front end interface for syncing data to Salesforce. This enables our team by allowing us to utilize Salesforce for more operational functions.
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't found anything yet. It's been very helpful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It pushes our data in near real- time into Salesforce. This allows us to use Salesforce for more use- cases rather than having to build a customer app.
Love Census and how simple it is
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love the simplicity of the tool - it's completely untangled our data streams and has helped teams from Rev ops to Demand Gen.
What do you dislike about the product?
The onboarding is a little confusing, and could use some work in terms of explaining key concepts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Cenus is allowing to connect our numerous data streams into one place. It has benefitted teams across our GTM and EPD orgs.
This product is a lifesaver!
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran has enabled us to connect all our disparate SaaS data sources into Snowflake and combine them with our in-house data. It is fast, reliable, and they constantly keep up with changes so we do not have to. It has been a lifesaver in getting several sources of data together without worrying about writing our own event processor or other solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cannot say anything bad, we have not had an issue yet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use several SaaS platforms, and have a lot of internal databases. Our customers want to see integrations of data between those sources and our data, and prior to Fivetran, our ways of doing this were very primative. Enter Fivetran, and now we have constant automated collection of our SaaS data, our relational data is being integrated into Snowflake as well, and we are finally able to provide our users with simple sets of data sources combining all of our platforms from 1 location.
