Very responsive support team
What do you dislike about the product?
That Census is phasing out ingestions and maybe that's the reason why there is no way of knowing why an Ingestion failed.
Manual dependency on the support team to add fields to the ingestions, once again due to it being phased out, makes little sense to automate this.

What do you like best about the product?
The easy usage of Census and the reliability are the key factors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not really a critique, but the sync duration is rather long. But this is probably due to the large amount of data

Synching data from one source to an external source.
Census has saved my day numerous times and it just gets better
What do you like best about the product?
What not to like!
They got an awesome and active community ready to help. Their support is great and always going the extra mile.
And of course, their unique selling point, a pretty awesome and fast technology for reverse ETL.

What do you dislike about the product?
It's just the working hours, I work in Germany and they work in USA. It's not particularly about Census.
The only thing I might disagree with is some design choices and some product features but they work hard and fast.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's solving many problems for me:
- Getting the data somewhere, fast.
- Actually getting the data somewhere.
- Being flexible when I need it to be without having to wait for a PR to be approved and sync times.
probably much more that I have not fully comprehended yet.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Product-wise, you get what you see. A fast and flexible tool to get the job done.
Service-wise, you get more than you see. They go the extra mile and that is not to be taken for granted!
I strongly recommend though that you make sure this product is up to your needs and fits what you need. Ask yourself, why do I need speed on data and for what?

The Easiest ETL pipeline
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran literally makes creating pipelines as easy as clicking a few buttons. It lets me and my team focus on creating high value analytics rather than config files.
What do you dislike about the product?
More detail around ERD and specific types would be nice,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ETL pipelines are hard to create and maintain, fivetran makes it really simple.
An indispensable tool for BizOps and Go-to-market teams
What do you like best about the product?
Census puts BizOps and GTM teams in the driver's seat when it comes to syncing data across different systems. Prior to Census, we were dependent upon Data/Engineering to send product data like user engagement and paywall status to our CRMs, and it could take days to weeks based on the capacity of those teams. Now, we can sync that data in mere minutes without any code required. It's a game-changer! Our GTM teams have become so much more data-driven as a result.
What I like best about Census is the responsive and helpful customer support team. During our time working with Census, we've pinged them for everything from fixing broken syncs to configuring new models. They are extremely knowledgeable about the tool and are even willing to go deep into our data with us to problem-solve analytical problems.

What do you dislike about the product?
Historically, the thing that has bothered me most about Census was the lack of robust audit logs / data transparency. Sometimes we would set up a sync and certain records would fail, but we wouldn't fully understand why and the error codes were not incredibly enlightening. It was also impossible to get a full view (every row) of the model that you created, so you had to have a certain amount of trust that the model was configured correctly based on just the first 25 rows in the preview. However, Census has addressed this in their latest Observability features and we are excited to have more transparency into our data, what is being synced and where, and why it sometimes fails.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping us with a few problems:
- Quickly and easily sending data from our product/customer databases into end-user tools like CRM
- Sending alerts into Slack when certain events happen
This is benefiting us by making us a more responsive and data-driven organization
