Straight forward, intuitive and incredibly useful
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that no backend is needed in order to set it up. Postman, Curl, VS code all goes out the window when using Fivetran. Huge reduction of time spent setting up scheduled API and database connections. Saves a lot of time for a company like ours that doesn't have an IT department but still want real time performance dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
The premade reports are somewhat inconsistent over connectors. Would like a variable overview description for each connectors and use predefined metrics similarly to looker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real time updates across all systems and a great overview of company performance. The most important thing is that we have all our data in one place (BQ) for AD HOC, dashboards, analysis, forecast etc... Before Fivetran we had data in all places and general overview and security were very low or not nonexistent. Today everything is automatic, simple and easy.
Great tool for reverse ETL
What do you like best about the product?
Census is great to automate reverse ETL processes, such as uploading offline conversions to marketing channels. The tool is set up extremely fast and very intuitive. On top of that the service provider is very helpful and responsive making the tool implementation a smooth experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
Census seems to be useful for quite specialized use cases. Some companies might prefer to build their own APIs or rather use a bigger CDP. While I do see advantages in using Census, it might not be the case for everyone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automated processes that needed to be done manually before and can therefore also now be done in a timely matter (and not only once per month for example). The feature of alerts when something was wrong is also very useful, so issues can be resolved quickly.
Easy Peasy

Lots of connectors available out of the box

Pricing model can be a bit confusing and hard to understand

Helping us solve our entire data ingestion stack
Census is a very powerful tool that operates in a very unique space.
What do you like best about the product?
Serves as a key component of the modern data structure, by minimizing data silos and enabling your warehouse as your single source of truth for your data. Census allows customers to leverage their data and activate it in downstream tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Must be paired with a variety of other tools. Although the value of Census is clear at the moment, if the rETL feature is embedded in other tools moving forward, Census may lose its place in the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Moving data via reverse ETL. Activation of warehouse data in downstream tools. Our customers need Census to activate their warehouse data in downstream destinations.
Easy to implement and to use tool with a great support team (and vision)
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface, the integration and the team's support
What do you dislike about the product?
The depth of connectors (downstream) that could be a bit bigger
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps activate the data we have in our client's DWH
A market leading data ingestion tool that has saved my team vast amounts of time!
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran supports a breadth of connectors, with clear SLAs to provide reliable uptime. The DBT integration and scheduling are a big plus for our data engineering team. Fivetran has a clear interface that allows users to log in and understand what is going on with ease. The alerting features are also useful to keep the team up to date on any issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, you cannot dual schedule on a connector ingest e.g. run every 15 minutes between 08:00-17:00 then run hourly between 17:00 and 08:00. People rarely need 15-minute refresh schedules overnight!
It would also be useful to decouple the ingest and transform scheduling so that they don't auto run together in sequence.
The costs of high-volume connectors are not the cheapest on the market.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is allowing our data engineering team to ingest and transform data (via DBT) in our environment at speed and with reliability, the tools are designed to reduce significant overheads of maintaining and monitoring data ingestion connections and feeds. The ability to pair with DBT allows for us to run our ingest and transform processes with more ease vs. some of the competitors that we assessed.
Fantastic product
What do you like best about the product?
It is simple to use. I came in with no data engineering experience and was able to set up our ETL without any problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the documents for setting up connectors are out of date
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made it easy to connect all of our data sources to our warehouse
Gets your data where you need it!
What do you like best about the product?
Census allows us enormous flexibility with our data. We aren't wedded to doing everything in salesforce (and therefore restricted by salesforce's limitations).
What do you dislike about the product?
I just wish Census integrated with everything!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census allows us to bring the valuable insights from our BI tool back into Salesforce, so we can use Redshift as our source of truth.
