Easy onboarding, great documentation and toolkit for a decent price
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran maybe has fewer connectors than some other prividers but quality and easy is what we value the most. Their support for dbt transformers and pricing is what made us choose fivetran.
Additionally on dbt - I don't really know any other provider who is hosting dbt for you as usually its your problem how/where to host, plus templates fivetran opensourced are top notch!

What do you dislike about the product?
Interface could be buggy time to time - blank white page or when you try to inspect dbt tree hence it's still in beta and doesn't happen often
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing Data aggregation from various sources and transformations to later be used in dashboarding
Implementation
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to implement, the process is logical and does not require much handholding without knowing what the underlying technical complexities are
What do you dislike about the product?
Quite a few settings to setup in the initial flow, could set with some default option and allow users to tweak after setup. Also quite a few crashes on large queries
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Importing large amount of data on sheets and updating it regularly without crashing it. I ma more productive as a result not having to spend more time updating analysis that users can work off, it allows for me to convert gsheets into dashboards
Fine product, complex costing, terrible treatment.
What do you like best about the product?
I used their netsuite connector to move data to databricks. Their integrations work fine and were easy to setup. You can choose how frequent you want the data to be synced and its easy to add new tables.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have been using Fivetran for three months now and have been through 3 Account managers (Due to restructuring). My current manager tricked me into an annual contract by promising me discounts which were never applied. The costing is calculated based on Monthly Active Rows, which non of to account managers understood and could warn / provide feedback on expensive tables like transactionaccountingline table (non-incremental) which is necessary for Netsuite and also part of Fivetran's official dbt models. Overall its been a turbulent experience leaving me to write this review suggesting to look into other vendors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ELT, Fivetran like many other companies are trying the manage the complex engineering of ELT. This idea is nice as companies can focus on what is important and not spend a lot of time doing data engineering.
The ONLY solution for Microsoft SQL Integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Super simple to set up and manage in comparison with other products on the market. FiveTran also gives complete control over what data is needed and how it is transformed into the new location.
What do you dislike about the product?
Better integrations with other platforms such as Pipedrive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed Microsoft SQL data migrated into a data warehouse. Fivetran has been the most accessible and affordable option to allow us to do this regularly without any issues.
A third party product for ETL data ingestion
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is a great alternative to the previous inhouse built platforms we use. Fivetran allows us to stand up new vendors in a day rather than weeks, allowing us to test many platforms and continue growing our options.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the support system of Fivetran, which is not as developed as other platforms such as Hightouch. These platforms are in the same space and offer different products, but Hightouch offers much stronger customer support in my experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is solving the issue of data ingestion via ETL for us. This allows us to bring marketing data in from vendors like Google and Facebook and then use the TOF data in our analysis in order to drive higher performance.
Powerful & Easy to Use
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is very intuitive. We were able to start pushing data back into our CRM almost immediately. Census has very deep integrations with the apps we use, so in addition to mapping fields into standard objects, we're also able to easily sync data into custom objects and create object associations.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to see an overall report/list of all the destination fields we're syncing into. It would also be very helpful if Census supported creating HubSpot quotes, which HubSpot recently exposed through their API.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're a software product company. Our primary use case involves syncing product usage data into our CRM and marketing automation platform for segmentation and sales lead prioritization.
Good product for getting information from BI tools to marketing platforms
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and works like lots of marketing platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
Cant connect looker directly to census (requires snowflake)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting first party data into marketing platforms
Census has been simple to use and their CS team has been remarkably helpful.
What do you like best about the product?
It's seemingly the only tool that does what it does. The UI is really clean and simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would be reaching to find something wrong with the product. It does what it does. It would be nice to sync data into more objects types, but they're a newer company and moving fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping us as a reverse ETL. It's basically the only GUI-based reverse ETL solution out there.
The service census provides is great and the customer support is responsive and great
What do you like best about the product?
The service itself. We don't need to integrate with 3rd party by ourselves. save eng resources.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's still some glitch for some integration. But the customer support is very helpful
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It solves the problem of integrating with different marketing and sales tools. We save eng resources of integrating those APIs by ourselves
Helped us a lot
What do you like best about the product?
Census made it really easy for us to conduct simple reverse-etl tasks without having to get our engineering team involved. This made it a lot easier to make changes when we needed to do so.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a bit of a learning curve with the software, and those who are more senior level or less-technical might have a bit of a higher lift to become proficient in the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census allows companies to take data from disparate places such as product databases or tools that do not natively connect to crm systems. These extra connections make it much easier to share insights.
