Would have saved me days
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use. You can get up and running in minutes, with little to no training because the platform is so intuitive.
The selection of connections is incredible. This would have saved me so much time at my last role where I spent days and days building these connections out bespoke.

What do you dislike about the product?
More and more connections would be great. But that is more a function of the sprawl of the market than Census.
Not sure how easy to use this would be without some data experience. Even more intuitive UI for more standard business user could be great.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solving for the sprawl of tools in the market and in our company. It's great to have so much flexibility until you need to move data in and out. Without Census you kill yourself trying to keep all your data aligned and moving where you need to be.
Good product, but pricing changes caught us off guard
What do you like best about the product?
The reverse ETL part of Census works well and is competitive. The platform is well organized and integrates well across systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our relationship with Census has been a bit all over the place. Our initial purchase went well, but at renewal we faced challenges with increased pricing even when requesting to stay on the same plan. Communications flopped going through Vendr and we were left to try to get the price within budget at last minute which involved a call with a manager who was rude and condescending.
We did decide to renew to avoid the trouble of switching, and upon adding onto our contract we had easy and quick negotiations so perhaps it all just depends on who you're dealing with or whether you're using Vendr. We're hoping for a smooth renewal next time now that both sides have learned how to communicate and reach an agreement.The product is good and if the situational renewal was a one-off, I would recommend working with Census.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to be able to move product data into our marketing and sales systems so that we could better target and hunt for accounts.
Enjoying Reverse ETL
What do you like best about the product?
We had integrations with most of our major digital marketing vendors from BigQuery up and running within 2 weeks.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the UX needs updating and just need a more flexible webhook.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having the ability to transmit a single view of the customer to multiple marketing vendors in minutes is great.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Have a good centralized data infrastructure and have someone who knows SQL readily available for support. At that point you are off to the races.
Reverse ETL for the data world
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use with the SQL interface and the integrations
What do you dislike about the product?
There is a minimum sync time of a few minutes, which makes "real time" difficult
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Piping data from Rockset into tools like Salesforce
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Much better than writing scripts
Great learning tool, really helps connect people with interests in the field to professionals!
What do you like best about the product?
Very user friendly, looking forward to seeing what they do next!
What do you dislike about the product?
Have not come across any problems yet! As more people join the community I think it can only improve.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Downstream processing for compny data has been really interesting to learn about.
Surprisingly affordable!
What do you like best about the product?
As stated, the price for the feature set is remarkable. It's easy to sync data in multiple places, with a less experienced staff (easy to use!). The interface is nice, too. The only time I had to contact support, they were extremely knowlegeable and friendly - and best of all resolved my issue very quickly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some minor issues when using different browsers, that's about it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Lots of time saved being able to schedule syncs easily, again, having less technical people able to set and run these as well. Everything is in one place so it's easier to manage.
I love Census! Amazing product for of my reverse ETL needs.
What do you like best about the product?
It integrates with all my tools. I use it for Looker.
What do you dislike about the product?
There's nothing I dislike about it. Maybe it could use more features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
How to visualise my data, send it to my operational tools, and grow my client base.
Great and Stable Tool
What do you like best about the product?
The most helpful thing about it is the plug and play part, its very easy to create a model a conector and a sync, very simple to deploy and if you need to change it!
What do you dislike about the product?
At moment i think we need more conector and more features and a little better UI
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We'have been using it to integrate our DW with the martech ecosystem
Does one thing well
What do you like best about the product?
Effectively syncs data from our data warehouse to other external tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only handles reverse ETL. Would prefer to have a single place to go to send our data around (i.e. ETL + reverse ETL).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping to maintain a single source of truth for our data. Helps us have one source of data that can be analyzed in different tools.
Plug and play reverse ETL solution
What do you like best about the product?
From the start Census has been a reliable reverse ETL solution. They've been very responsive to feature requests and are even developing a new destination for us now. All in all a great tool and team.
What do you dislike about the product?
It does what it needs to. We haven't tested out setting up the connectors via the API as there was no need for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sending data to Salesforce and offline conversions to Google Ads. It's grwrly simplified out integration landscape and we've been able to move fast.
