Fivetran - Expensive but Excellent
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran makes it incredibly easy to get started with replicating data from various source systems into data warehouse. I couldn't believe how quick and easy it was to select the tables and columns I wanted and then with a few clicks get the data replicating.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's a bit glitchy, but usually they work things out -- even having a technical support technician jump into the account (after being granted access) and troubleshooting. There were a couple times we had to do a full re-sync or set things back up, but overall it has been easy and straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran helps us solve the problem of replicating data from our source systems (primarily MySQL RDS on AWS) into our data warehouse (AWS Redshift). They helped us avoid bringing a data engineer on board to handle this, at a significant cost savings.
Fivetran Review

Managing spend takes some getting used to. You can easily end up spending more than you need to.

It is necessary for our service infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
It is very helpful that I can integrate multiple product with my Big Query.
Even though it is difficult to analyze the perfomance of the product, when Fivetran synced, I can analyze a lot of values via Big Query.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little bit annoying that a lot of data would be synced and the cost would be so high depend of the service to sync. So, it is required to tune the table.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran resolving the problem with data extraction of the service I use. Without Fivetran, it is needed to create API request by myself just for exporting data.
Lots of connectors and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Our criteria were the availability of SaaS connectors and ease of use, because we only wanted one extraction tool for everything to keep complexity low. Fivetran had a few connectors that nobody else had and the setup was simple with UI and programmatic options.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing of note. Back in the day, the pricing was steep with heavy use, but that has gotten better since.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Syncing data from SaaS tools that our teams use to the data warehouse and analyse it together for richer insights not possible in those tools alone.

Intuitive and Efficient, Census is a powerful data connection tool
What do you like best about the product?
Census is an amazing tool for API aggregation that connects a wide range of data sources and integrations. With its user-friendly interface, it is an excellent choice for businesses of all sizes. It can handle both simple and complex data transfer tasks with ease. Additionally, it offers a broad range of native connections and guides, which make managing data transfer tasks more comfortable and faster. Its versatility and practicality are unparalleled, and its compatibility with different platforms is one of the reasons why businesses opt for it. Overall, Census is an essential tool for businesses that need to manage their data transfer tasks efficiently and effectively.
What do you dislike about the product?
The only minor dislike I have about Census relates to the tiers they use for classifying clients. They charge based on the number of columns, not rows, that you sync. This means that you may end up using tricks such as combining columns from the data source, causing Census to count two or more columns as one, and then splitting these columns again in the destination. Another workaround could be creating a JSON structure from multiple columns. Regardless, you may end up needing to find these workarounds in order to avoid increasing your billing.

Reverse ETL is too easy with Census!

there were a few issues at first when trying to connect our audiences to DV360 directly
Sometimes its hard to locate the segment because there are so many, having a grouping or labels could help

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can constantly push new and refreshed audiences to our ad platforms directly with the tool. This is very useful, since cookies will soon disappear, we will be able to scale our ads with our 1st party data, and create lookalikes of it.
Easy access to Data with Census
What do you like best about the product?
Census is clear, concise, and gives me great insight to the various data sources and flows. I also appreciate the weekly email updates on sync success and other alerts that help me intervene when necessary.
What do you dislike about the product?
The formatting of some of the notification emails can feel cluttered and old-fashioned.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census helps us connect our data to various outputs so that other users at my organization (including me) can access data more easily and succinctly. It makes data available for all!
Easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use for data syncs from snowflake to google sheets. intuitive UI that's friendly for non-engineering configurations. overall pretty reliable and accurate.
What do you dislike about the product?
Downsides so far is that it does get hard to manage all the variety of syncs easily. When there's a large number of them, you have to remember the titles or spend a while digging around.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to get data from snowflake into google sheets and this is the easiest way to set up that data connection without having to engineer an entire infrastructure system.
