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.
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.
