Incredibly flexible tool for all your reverse ETL needs
What do you like best about the product?
Every need I have to push data back from my DWH into various tools / locations, Census can do it for me. It allows our business to move at high speed and continue to be fully data focussed and data driven. It's UI/UX is very simple and intuitive so there's no steep learning curve like often is the case with similar tools.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't yet come across anything I dislike. Everything I've wanted to achieve with Census, I've been able to do so far.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's allowing me to nimbly support all areas of the business: Product, Support, Sales and Marketing by making the data they need available in the tools they use. As a fast growing, scale-up business we're constantly evolving and so these needs are ever changing. Census makes it very quick and simple to populate the data needed with minimal effort and the sync options offer great flexibility for each need.
Census is an intuitive platform, easy to navigate
What do you like best about the product?
Census is very intuitive and makes things that can be technical sometimes, very simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
It has some limitations as you can just play with real-time data and you can not save a segment, but overall it's a very good tool
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maily, to have all the data integrated in one platform and to be able to create segments in order to impact my marketing campaigns, being able to use all the data sets we have
Making ETL code Zero!
What do you like best about the product?
Just in few clicks ETL pipeline with CDC features are up and running. Bootstrapping a pipeline has become much easier after fivetran came into picture. Really resposnsive customer support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some customisations around certain connectors are not very helpful, but the product is constantly evolving.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No code ETL pipelines, easy to setup a pipeline and deliver the data to end users (Analysts)
Really good product, saving time with trust
What do you like best about the product?
We're savaing a lot of devlopment time using fivetran for loading data into snowflake
What do you dislike about the product?
I'd like to be able to run any dbt command (build, snapshot, test..) from the fivetran UI and a better monitoring view for transformation
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran make it easy to replicate our data sources into snowflake. We're saving a lot of time and improve the reliability of our data.
Expensive but reliable ingestion tool
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is easy to use, have a lot of integrations and very mature.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's pretty expensive and some connectors are very "verbose": automatically unnest JSON, cannot disabled some tables
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We collect data from multiple sources: internal (databases, spreadsheets) and external (Salesforce, Hubpost, Google Ads, ...).
Fivetran help us to extract all these sources and store them in our datawarehouse.

Fivetran
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is easy to use and saves our engineers time to implement data transformations
What do you dislike about the product?
It is missing some log connectors such as ELK
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran solving some of our data extracts from some SAAS platforms and a few of our products
Very help iPaaS out of the box with no code set up
What do you like best about the product?
That it is no code, very well documented set up guides, as a non technical owner I can set up my own pipelines without help from an engineer or someone from the Central Data Platform team.
I also think Fivetran supports a very comprehensive set of connectors and sources and destinations.

What do you dislike about the product?
When the connector fails, I can see in the log there is an error but I don't actually know which table are missing data or have incorrect data.
Support is sometimes subpar because of offshoring to India, I have to wait 24 hours before getting a reply.

Replicating Stripe data and Salesforce data to our datawarehouse destination
One stop shop for ETL
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to get data from various sources easily and standardize them.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some API endpoints are not fully built out. so we need to request that the endpoint be added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
efficient in pulling the data we need from sources.
Plug and play solution that is budget friendly
What do you like best about the product?
Creating custom ETLs with staging and error handling for multiple sources of data requires a team of engineers (or one engineer and several months). Fivetran allowed me to spin up pipelines immediately for both simple and complex sources (e.g. Facebook). It is significantly cheaper to maintain these pipelines than hiring more full time engineers! Implementing Fivetran was fast, easy and exceptionally cost effective.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fivetran worked well for all of our data sources except Google Analytics. This is likely not an issue for most users but because we have a tremendous amount of data from this source, Fivetran's plug and play delta loads just weren't the right solution. Aside from that one source, Fivetran has met all of our needs.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran allows us to ingest data from multiple external sources without having to build custom code, monitor loads and manage errors. In fact, it is a completely no-code solution that requires minimal set up, even for complex data sources.
A great mid-point tool for the less technical
What do you like best about the product?
We use Census to enable data to pass through from our main data warehouse (from the frontend) to our internal systems - most notably Salesforce. Once a query is in place, setting up the model and a sync is very very easy - I particularly love the ease with which Census enables mapping of certain data fields to Salesforce fields. Syncs are reliable and we are always kept up to date if there are any issues via email notifications.
I will also say that I hugely appreciate Census's decision to enable product support via a bespoke Slack channel - it makes dealing with any issues that do arise, or questions that we do have, much more productive and pleasant as everything is centralised and can be seen by everyone. It also means that we don't need to depart our usual company comms procedure - something which is very welcome in this age of live chat, email support, callbacks, on demand Zoom calls etc.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only issue I've come across with Census is that the default setting for all models in an instance is for it not to record the sync logs anywhere. This has to be requested and set up separately (Warehouse Writeback) - which can be an issue if not known in advance and the sync logs are suddenly required. Otherwise, everything is great!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Making syncing data from an enormous BigQuery warehouse into our internal CRM systems a breeze via intelligent mapping and customisable syncs.
