Pipes data with ease
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to connect our systems together!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is not much to dislike. I would say there are some technical resources that are needed to get it up and running but that is inevitable. Once it's set up it's pretty easy to use!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting our data back from our data warehouse back into our point solutions in an easy and fast manner was key
Exposing advanced analytics metrics to Salesforce
What do you like best about the product?
Query-based input payload generation and integration with DBT.
What do you dislike about the product?
Insert jobs to more complex data models with many dependencies.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census removes the dev-up requirements for reverse-ETL operations. It simplified the same in our org so Salesforce Architects and Analytics Engineers could easily create transfer jobs without a heavy reliance on Data Engineers.
Data Engineers Shouldn't Write Reverse ETL
What do you like best about the product?
Having written scripts myself to do "reverse ETL" or data activation or whatever we're calling it these days, I can confidently say that most teams shouldn't do this. Census is an excellent tool with all of the features and integrations one would expect. The support is great as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints. When I started using Census, it was a bit more nascent. It took some time to figure out the nuance. However, it's improved quickly and is even easier to get started with today.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census helps the teams I work with send consistent data to various tools like Salesforce, and helps establish the data warehouse as the hub for information used across the businesses.
Great tool for reliable low-maintenance exports
What do you like best about the product?
Set-up and forget, variety of available connectors
What do you dislike about the product?
Can be pricy, especially for small exports
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Exporting data to external vendors without the need to set up and manage our own ETL pipelines
Cencus is good way of data migrating
What do you like best about the product?
Migrating data from our source to other services interm of real and integrity is great way of managing different department needs. Compare to other, it make us easier to deal with the intuitive UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
Using census so far has not really had downside. But one point, that Cencus can offer to extend the offer of more platforms, and better filter in term of getting data from the source tho.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gets data into the other platforms, then other departments can make decision on other platform as well, for example CRM and logistics, they need more infos to make decisions from their ends.
Nice !
What do you like best about the product?
In realtime sync others products (intercom, klavyo etc) to our data warehouse easily. But not just sync data you use sql to choose and transform data as you please.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd say the cost scale is kind of steep. Hopefully you provide a startup plan. I would have never sign up to census withtout it, so thanks for now ! Top help with the cost for small team you could base your price and some king of compute time for the request or something and not on the destination fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us better target our customer with marketing (email, push notifications etc) based on our application data. We can send the right amount of meessages to the appropriate clients.
Drop the custom ETL pipelines; use Census instead
What do you like best about the product?
We used to build our custom ETL pipelines using the APIs of the 3rd party vendor (Marketo, Salesforce, etc.). This was undifferentiated heavy lifting and not the best use of the engineering hours. With Census, our integration times have gotten much shorter, and there is better monitoring and alerting.
What do you dislike about the product?
The product in itself is the best in class. I'd prefer if Census had way more integrations with niche data vendors like Apollo, Adapt, etc. The documentation could be a bit simpler and could have more descriptive examples.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We frequently sync data between different B2B systems and our CRM (the source of truth). This was earlier done by custom ETL pipelines built by data/growth engineers on the team but is now taken care of by Census.
It’s helpful and pretty intuitive, but we prefer Hightouch
What do you like best about the product?
The variety of connectors is pretty impressive
What do you dislike about the product?
For custom use cases not supported by the connectors, it doesn't look like the API is as flexible as Hightouch. Also, I would like better alerting features like PagerDuty integration
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sync of data from Snowflake to Airtable
Reverse ETL with excellent support and good integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Simple, straightforward way to configure and run data syncs from a pre-processed source of truth to other tooling.
Has a clean integration with dbt core so that everything can be source controlled and directly integrated with in-house model definitions. Exposes an API for Airflow (or other orchestration tools) to trigger syncs with upstream dependencies.
Census support is excellent and extremely responsive, making it easy to overcome any issues that we've encountered in our pipeline work.

What do you dislike about the product?
Our biggest complaints are around the UI:
- Setting up new syncs can be somewhat time-consuming.
- Viewing the configuration of large syncs is slightly awkward.
- Setting up new syncs can be somewhat time-consuming.
- Viewing the configuration of large syncs is slightly awkward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Handles data pipelines from potentially complex definitions to other tooling. For example, helps to enrich event streams (e.g. in Amplitude or Mixpanel) with calculated user features and enable product led growth motions by syncing product use data to CRMs (e.g. Salesforce or Hubspot).
Exactly what I was looking for!
What do you like best about the product?
easy step by step process, once you are able to get the SQL queries and sync the right fields!
What do you dislike about the product?
It can get a bit pricy if you need a lot of fields synced
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Syncing our customer data across all our tools!
