Quick and easy tool with excellent support
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy and streamlined it is to set up and maintain syncs within Census. The amount of documentation available was enough to guide me through setup processes alone. Census makes it extremely easy to connect to my dbt project with clean integration. What pushed Census above and beyond was their eagerness and availability to work with me through issues that presented themselves through my setup process. Special thanks to Sean and Kurt for taking additional measures to ensure my issues were solved and always followed up in a timely manner with updates or fixes. Their excellent responsiveness has made it easy to overcome any problems that I encountered.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were a few known issues that I ran into when creating a connection with my dbt project. These were known issues that other customers were also experiencing. However, Kurt on the implementation team took thorough action to ensure that these issues were resolved quickly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reverse ETL through Census has been extremely helpful in getting data from the data warehouse into Salesforce. The CI checks are also extremely helpful in making sure that there are no downstream breakages from dbt changes.
Good for getting from 0 - 1
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to get up and running. All you need are queries that can map to custom fields (in our case, SQL) and the destinations for custom fields (services like salesforce, zendesk, etc.).
What do you dislike about the product?
Incremental syncs require connecting to a read/write instance of your data source - but Census does not recommend connecting to your production instance. This requires a little bit of additional work to get off the ground. It would be interesting if Census could offer a solution in this space.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reverse ETL functionality without all the infrastructure required for reverse ETL. It's allowed less technical teams to, with a bit of query knowledge, get data from one source to another.
Integrates with Salesforce
What do you like best about the product?
Connects well with other systems like Salesforce, Databricks, etc..
What do you dislike about the product?
Not a declarative solution so it requires code
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Contributing to tracking inventory and updating multiple systems
Extremely easy way to get your data to the people who need it most!
What do you like best about the product?
Great no-code way to get data into apps like Salesforce, Braze, Criteo, or any one of their integrations. You connect to your SQL database, write a Census in query, map the source and destination fields, and set a schedule for the sync.
What do you dislike about the product?
Small sync failures used to be semi-common. But recently, it hasn't been an issue. They've done a good job supporting the product and improving it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reverse ELT. Getting data out of our data warehouse and into applications our business uses. Biggest use case for us is Braze and Salesforce.
I use occasionally, but haven't found any issues yet
What do you like best about the product?
Census is intuitive. I support census mostly from the data side (I feed the underlying tables into census), so occasionally, a stakeholder runs into a technical issue, and I have to resolve it. I'm able to quickly jump in without a big learning curve
What do you dislike about the product?
Not great documentation. Looking around for how to use census different functionalities doesn't seem natural, and I don't find excellent documentation. Also, seems like a really manual tool, wish there so some more advanced flexibility so user could automate repeated tasks
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves our issue of feeding data into hubspot.
Solid RETL tool. Great support
What do you like best about the product?
* UI is intuitive and easy to understand.
* API Debugger within the Census UI helps us to identify issues quickly.
* Amazing support from Census' team.
* Census listens & takes action -- Census' team turns your product feedback into features (Ask them for examples!)

What do you dislike about the product?
* Lack of version control (Git sync), detailed audit log and the ability to reverse changes
* Lack of granular role management - I'd love to control who has access/can do what in what tool.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is a robust RETL tool that abstracts data team away from all the integration works needed when shipping data to third-party tools (Rate limiting, field mapping, translation, change delta capture), so, as a data engineering team, we can focus on generating & building out datasets, rather than figuring out, for example, how to write a Python code to call a third-party API and figure out how to handle rate limiting/outages gracefully.
Reverse ETL in minutes
What do you like best about the product?
Several available connectors ready for use. And when there is not one, the support is excellent
What do you dislike about the product?
Have not come across a reason to dislike yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick and easy reverse ETL to social media accounts
Great data tool
What do you like best about the product?
The tool makes it super easy to connect multiple different tech with a nice UX
What do you dislike about the product?
A little hard at first to navigate, and find the right place to find the right data
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Better than zapier with bigger data
No frills ETL for 99% of usecases
What do you like best about the product?
1. It has all the sources and destinations that I need
2. The documentation is very helpful
3. The editor is very intuitive
4. Email alerts/notifications are a lifesaver

What do you dislike about the product?
1. There is a bit of a learning curve
2. No dbt support
3. It could be faster (although this is more of a nice to have)
4. It's very opinionated now. I would prefer it allow more of a "building blocks" approach to some pipelines

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data about our marketing and sales efforts sit in disparate B2B systems and the data warehouse due to the operational complexity of our business. Census saves us 100s of hours in building custom data pipelines
A great tool to get data easily into all the places you need it
What do you like best about the product?
Census connects to all the destinations that we need. Configuring syncs is easy, and the platform has been reliable. The Census team has been fast, responsive, and exceedingly helpful when we needed support.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish they let you download the complete set of sync error logs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census lets us get data into crucial business tools without integrating with each tool's API directly.
