What do you dislike about the product?
- The UI could be a little better, I do not like that there's no easy way to re-sort columns after setting up a sync.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can leverage data without constant run and downloading a query manually, census does that work for me which saves a lot of time.
if you are in data engineering, you gotta love this software
What do you like best about the product?
No doubt fivetran functionalities are great but their UI is one thing I love. We had to the cost planning and it was very easy for us to understand our growth, our usage and find the best annual value for the contract.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI is great but we saw so many discrepencies between our actual usage and what fivetran showed. IT took us a while for us to make them agree to that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have to pull our data from postgres and these are realtime transactions so volume is huge. On top of that we needed WAL replication. Fivetran helped us bring the data from postgres, excel sheet and salesforce into snowflake for our billing pipeline and ML.

It's super simple to setup and monitor data pipelines, there is alerting that informs us of any issues and any major outtage is looked into and resolved quickly by their engineering team.

There aren't any downsides. A bonus would be to improve orchestration capabilites to be in line with Airflow.

Effortless ETL and Transforming Data Integration
What do you like best about the product?
As we talk about implementation, it is easy to use. Provide fast data migration. It has wide range of connectors which helps in connecting and integrating data from different sources. Provides real time sync with data.
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the concern is pricing structure especially when the user deals with large volume of data. There might be security concerns as storing sensitive data into the cloud. It doesn't provide complex data transformations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is user friendly, users can use it having technical or non technical knowledge.

Transformative for ops and marketing
What do you like best about the product?
I've worked at two companies that use Census. Census was a game-changer at both. I can't overstate how transformative it is to be able to pass information from a data warehouse into a CRM or other tool using only SQL, without needing to go through an engineering department. Census accomplished in days what might have taken weeks or months to build into a product roadmap.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints! I haven't used Census directly for a few months, so they've probably added features for anything I might have found frustrating by now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Let's say your marketing tools don't know who is and isn't a customer. (This is a problem I've run into at multiple organizations I've worked with, from freelancing to full-time jobs; in some cases, answering the question "which of these email addresses is a customer?" required manual CSV exports!) You have a separate reporting tool that does know who is and isn't a customer. Wouldn't it be amazing if you could use the report query to push all the data you need directly to your CRM? Census does that. The interface is bare-bones in the best sense of the word: no useless features, transparent explanations of load times and syncs, simple setup.
Census help us to keep the data in sync
What do you like best about the product?
The best thing about Census is how easy configure it. Also, the tool helps us to get notified if we have an issue during the sync phase.
What do you dislike about the product?
Probably add more notification data source capabilities such as Slack.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keep in sync data in several datasources
Using Census at Apollo in my Growth Ops role
What do you like best about the product?
We utilize Census' reverse ETL to move data from our data warehouse into Apollo utilizing custom field mapping and it helps us run sequences and plays as part of our GTM strategy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing of note. They've been very supportive in troubleshooting along the way.

Moving data from point A to B
Fivetran has been a valuable addition to our data tools arsenal
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetren makes data processes simple/quick. Our team likes how easy it is to start without any coding. There are many turn-key connectors available, which is great for businesses that we provide IT services for. Also, their netsuite connector helps us move data smoothly. The interface is quite user-friendly, so we can delegate tasks to junior data specialists within our tema and cut maintenance costs for our clients.
What do you dislike about the product?
A recurring concern is the pricing model, particularly the cost associated with automating and tracking historical data and data warehouse tables. The model based on monthly active rows can be confusing, making it challenging to forecast expenses, especially for our enterprise customers with vast amounts of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Fivetran as one of the key elements of our client's data systems. It assists with ELT, offers out-of-the-box integrations for most of the common SaaS tools our clients use, and then the data goes straight to the warehouse. We also created three custom connectors ourselves. Everything works pretty smoothly and requires little attention for maintenance.
