Overall easy to use platform and an engaged product/support team
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to set up and schedule new syncs. I'm happy with the platform itself as it's intuitive to use and troubleshoot where there are any errors. The team support we get as well is top-notch. I really appreciate the thorough responses and feel that the team there does everything possible to resolve any questions or requests we have. Census also agreed to help build out some functionality we needed for our use case and they delivered it quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
On the platform side, it can be tedious to test as once a sync is created we cannot change the destination. So if I build and test a large sync to the salesforce sandbox, the sync has to be recreated for prod. This just opens a window for error particularly when many columns are named too similarly in either the data or SFDC directly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a lot of data that needs to be shifted from system to system. Census makes that process 10x easier than doing these syncs without a service provider, and makes it far less error prone.
Massively saves development effort for our data syncing needs
What do you like best about the product?
- Data syncing is reliable and top notch
- User interface is friendly and easy to assess when syncing occurs/if there were any errors along the way
- Customer success is extremely helpful!

What do you dislike about the product?
- We started when Census was quite new, so had to navigate using their support for the first stretch
- However, seems like they've matured as an organization and really developed their offering since

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Census syncs our BigQuery data (i.e. our production data about users) and funnels it to primarily HubSpot, but also Amplitude and MixPanel
Census is a great tool for the modern stack
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, easy to use, and straightforward interface
What do you dislike about the product?
End users have troubles defining segments
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Loading data from a central data warehouse to an external tool such as Salesforce
Very easy to use and very useful to automate and avoid unnecessary repetitive work
What do you like best about the product?
Using the tool to automate processes and avoid unnecessary work by making things very efficient thru queries and scheduled runs
What do you dislike about the product?
Tool is easy to use when you get the hang of it, but maybe would make a quick runthru tool to make sure you know what to use while onboarding
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating processes that would otherwise require a whole team to stay on top of and manage
Great product fro ETL integrations and amazing support service!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up your integrations, let's you control directly from the integrated in-house models defined.
Census support is excellent and highly responsive, making it easy to overcome any issues we've encountered in our pipeline.

What do you dislike about the product?
Configuration view of syncs with a large number of mappings could sometimes be a difficult task within the UI. Other than that really impressed with their product and confident they are in the right track
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making our data pipeline operational and integrating timely data with the syncs that are set up. Removed the need for people to switch contexts to check data in other systems.
Census has been very helpful for data integrations and automating our notification system
What do you like best about the product?
It is easy to use, saving us a lot of time when we need to add new integrations to our Data Warehouse. It has also helped us reduce lots of custom code and manual work.
What do you dislike about the product?
The Slack notifications we have used so far have been pretty rigid. It would be nice to customise the outlook of the notifications more than currently possible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping us with our data integrations to the Data Warehouse. Additionally, we also use it to send out slack notifications when certain alerts are triggered.
Census is easy-to-use and very powerful, and so has become an integral part of our data tech stack.
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy how straightforward Census is to use, especially when setting up a new connection. It's very much a plug-and-play tool, which is so useful.
What do you dislike about the product?
I've found modifying existing connections to be a bit tricky, especially when there are platform changes in between the initial set up of the connector and modifying it. E.g., I recently wanted to modify a connector that had a 'Create only' matching rule and create a new connector with the same matching rule, but that rule had been removed.
I also find I receive a lot of marketing material from Census.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Syncing data from our data warehouse into existing tools. In particular, we use Census to populate fields in Mixpanel and Hubspot, which means that we can utilise a lot of the existing reporting tools in those two apps without having to create our own reports all the time.
Seamless
What do you like best about the product?
Great simple solution making it easy to self-service.
What do you dislike about the product?
Haven't had much to dislike so far, good enough for our use cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy and secure way to self-serve data sync without the need to involve an engineering team with various tools and platforms.
A good product that does what it says it will
What do you like best about the product?
Census is robust, relatively easy to use/maintain, and solves an important problem for us that would otherwise be very difficult to solve.
What do you dislike about the product?
The two least user friendly aspects in my experience have been diagnosing errors and creating new upsert syncs. Diagnosing errors has been made significantly easier recently however with their API Inspector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We take data from our CRM, combine it with other sources, and then Census lets us put the resulting data points back into the CRM. This means our customer-facing staff can draw insights and create reports from data points that would not otherwise exist, and this is very helpful.
Census is a very useful piece of software
What do you like best about the product?
The number of integrations offered by Census is great, but my favorite thing is how easy it is to set up and test the SQL that you are reverse ETL-ing into downstream platforms. The UI is intuitive and easy to use, and when I have had problems in the past the customer support team has been responsive to my issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints here, our use cases are relatively simple (we use Census to reverse ETL snowflake back into Postgres with the intention of using that data in client applications), so Census suits our use case well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Census to reverse ETL from Snowflake back into Postgres for use in our client applications. This allows us to bypass rate limits from upstream APIs, and realtime data is not crucial for our use case, so the delay between the upstream API to Snowflake to Census to Postgres is acceptable.
