I wish Census had existed years ago
What do you like best about the product?
Census just works. It's so simple to create a new sync that we're don't need to rely on data engineers to start moving data to the tools used by other teams: Salesforce, Hubspot, Google Sheets...
What do you dislike about the product?
We're missing a sandbox environment, where we can create and test syncs without actually updating the data in the platform. A sandbox mode would be great to isolate environments effectively in our data stack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to send data to the tools used by other teams with a very low effort. As a data engineer, in the past, I had to create custom scripts to sync tables in our data warehouse with our CRM, and now it just takes 5 minutes to start sending data to other platforms. We don't need to care about state management, breaking changes in the APIs, maintaining custom scripts...That's saving our team a lot of time.
Great for moving data out of Snowflake
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use in inserting a SQL query and creating a mapping from Snowflake to the destination.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked the limit on the number of destination fields. With 3 syncs we had already used 89/100 destination fields
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sending data from data warehouse to a marketing platform to pinpoint specific campaigns
Does what it is supposed to
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to setup and good support from census
What do you dislike about the product?
It is quite expensive. Could have better integration with git
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reverse ETL, syncing data back to other systems
A very easy-to-use interface for your data pipeline needs
What do you like best about the product?
I use the service for putting data into Salseforce. It is very easy to use and provides an excellent messaging service when there are errors in the data transfer. This is very useful for debugging.
What do you dislike about the product?
The per field billing option is not the best for us given we have a low number of rows, however, every company needs a billing model of some kind. Other than this I have no other complaints.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
pumping data into Salesforce. This saves on the task of writing and maintaining this pipeline ourselves. This is from out data warehouse BigQuery. I have no other uses at current.
Excellent tool for reverse etl
What do you like best about the product?
Is easy to navigate, set connectors, and have new syncs. Also, you can set alerts when a sync fails
What do you dislike about the product?
So far, nothing dislikes me. I think it has a very wide variety of connections
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have sent back data from our DWH to our tools, allowing us to use cross-data into our tools without the need of going to look it directly in the DWH.
Sync data between all our tools with ease
What do you like best about the product?
- It is very easy to set up a sync pipeline in Census. I can send data to a new tool (Salesforce, Zendesk, GoogleAds) in less than 1 hour and I don't need to worry about it anymore. Before I had to write pipelines in airflow or prefect and check daily if everything was running smoothly.
- Support team is responsive and helpful.

What do you dislike about the product?
- Census is improving quickly but some simple features are missing. For example, it is hard to modify a sync once it is created. Very often, the only way to do this is to duplicate manually the existing sync.
- For big initial syncs, Census can be quite credit-consuming on Snowflake.

- Monitoring syncing between different tools is easy.
- Even people with very light coding skills can use it and debug it.

Helpful automated data sync tool
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate all the integrations Census provides and how easy it is to set up and use. Census Support has also been really helpful in handling my questions and fixing integration issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there were more logging capabilities. I would love to be able to see exactly what fields were synced and when things are updated when I need to debug or check what is happening. Sometimes, it is unclear what Census has synced or what changes have been made in my data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Using Census I can easily load data from my different systems into new systems and make connections that weren't possible in the past. Census removes a lot of the manual work of setting up connections and getting data in when and where I need it.
A great tool to manage your reverse ETL
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is very clean and easy to use. The latest changes on the interface make it even better to navigate through all your syncs and to validate which tables/sources are been used to sync data into your targets.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of information regarding the schedule of each sync. Once a sync is created it will only tell you the name of the source table used and the target and also when was the last time it was updated but it does not tell you at what time it is scheduled to run. This is difficult when you try to manage multiple syncs that affect one specific target (for example, a contact in SalesForce) because you need to go and check the details to know that info.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Now we can provide better analytics to our SalesForce users by syncing curated tables from our data warehouse with the right information that they need into SalesForce. This has given us the ability to use our resources more efficiently and to empower our sales representatives.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Sometimes the support team will take a little bit of time to get through certain issues. They will always have an answer or solution but it may not be promptly.
will recommend, this tool makes my life easier and saves me the trouble for reverse syncing

support for many systems (SFDC, NS, Marketo)
easy of use (Upsert, replication config)
