14x Price Increase
What do you like best about the product?
It worked fine, but then they increased our price by 14x YoY.
What do you dislike about the product?
14x Price increase, and it says it updates our salesforce real time, but it's really once a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SFDC visibility.
Makes data synchronization surprisingly easy
What do you like best about the product?
We just pick the source data and fields we want as destinations, and Census does all the hard work. Their documentation is excellent, and it even has a section for common errors, which helped us debug a duplication issue in no time! They also provide an API Inspector to see the requests made during syncs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Census provides many ways to configure whether you want to create new records, update existing ones, do both, delete the removed ones, etc. But when configuring each field, it only has options to update values from the source or only do it if the destination is empty. It would be nice if we could add more smart rules like only update if the source is not empty or only updating field A if field B in destination is not empty, etc.
This is not a deal breaker but it would be nice to have.
This is not a deal breaker but it would be nice to have.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping us keep Salesforce in sync so our business team can access the latest information from our application usage right with all their client notes. Salesforce tends to be frustrating for developers, but Census simplified everything.
Great solution for Reverse ETL
What do you like best about the product?
Easy way to sync data to multiple systems. In addition, support is great through Slack channel. On demand they are willing to build additional features and/or syncs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Although Census gives a notification when a sync fails, it would be a nice if Census also automatically retry the sync. Often on subsequent run, the sync does succeed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Syncing data from our DWH to other systems with easy configuration which non-technicals users also understand.
Great UX and intuitive design
What do you like best about the product?
The excellent UI and UX make the tool easy to pick up quickly and understand. Having never used Census before I was able to log in and fix an issue with a sync within just a few minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
I was not able to solve an error alone with a new sync due to a type case error and had to reach out to the census support team. In the end the error turned out to be different from the what was displayed in Census, so it made troubleshooting difficult.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to create models in our DWH and send that output back to our CRM Tool Klaviyo easily. So Census is acting a reverse ETL tool for us.
A must-have tool for getting your data to be where you need it
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use, intuitive, and potent solution to get data flowing to all the right places. Even small companies can now benefit from an efficient data structure thanks to tools like Census.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the pricing should be based on actual data being transferred. The number of fields method feels arbitrary. Also, troubleshooting when things don't work correctly could've been more straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting all the relevant data for sales teams into Salesforce without writing a single line of code. That helps the team save time by not having to use multiple apps to get the data they need to operate.
All I need to push data from my DWH back to CRM
What do you like best about the product?
Easy use, good overview, lots of connectors...
What do you dislike about the product?
Could use more sync fields in the lower packages...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting important data and calculations from our DWH into our CRM.
Great product that does exact what it should
What do you like best about the product?
Allows us to easily send data to all of our key sources. And once it's set up, the tool keeps an eye to ensure that things are working with very little interaction from us... that is unless something goes wrong (which is infrequent) and the tool lets us know.
What do you dislike about the product?
This isn't a blocker for us, but Census is building out their connector base. They have all of the critical connectors we need, and they have been extremely helpful in prioritizing product and eng effort to build out the new sources as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting data out from our data stack to downstream systems with minimal effort. Normally I would need to have a person monitoring this, but Census serves that purpose.
Census review
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to automatically sync audiences is a big win for us.
What do you dislike about the product?
No downsides so far. A small annoyance from a marketing perspective is the term "reverse ETL." For me, that term comes off as a buzzword in a field that is already bogged down by buzzwords.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping us to gather insights across multiple ad platforms.
Amazing tool fits in very well for our use cases
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is super simple to use and navigate around very easy to test
What do you dislike about the product?
I would like to see some feature upgrades but there is nothing I dislike about it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping us with our marketing data sync - Forget me request automation, updating auduiences in Mailchimp
Census is great
What do you like best about the product?
The team has been very responsive so far. The tool helps us offload some very manual, repetitive work we've been doing forever
What do you dislike about the product?
The support for source control integrations seems limited. To be fair, we do have an open conversation with them about whether we have more options than just DBT cloud, which is yet another tool to maintain -- we don't currently use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census helps us unify and automate a bunch of either manual or disparate workstreams. We're able to more easily and granularly get data into the tool of our choice without having to maintain a bunch of different logic.
