Census Reviews & Product Details - Page 4

We utilize Census' reverse ETL to move data from our data warehouse into Apollo utilizing custom field mapping and it helps us run sequences and plays as part of our GTM strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing of note. They've been very supportive in troubleshooting along the way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* Saves us from learning a new API when we consume a new tool. Was very useful integrating with Braze, Vitally.

* Dry run to know what the thing would sync is useful

* Log of syncs and updates works with us in Snowflake Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

* When I accidentally try to sign in with Google instead of using SAML, the screen hangs.

* Would be nice for Census to remember my login email when I log in again

* I think some of our syncs are being counted towards our usage quota in our staging environment when I feel like only production usage should be counted

* It's hard to parse different pricing across our external tools. Braze charges by field update

* Sometimes sync failures sporadically and seem to be noisy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about Census is how easy configure it. Also, the tool helps us to get notified if we have an issue during the sync phase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Probably add more notification data source capabilities such as Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is super easy to configure and maintain, most things are clicking through. SQL models and syncs are super intuitive. In our case, it is the best tool to quickly provide value to the business or POC some solutions, without huge development effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only thing I can think of is not always the best notifications of syncs. Census is always providing very helpful notifications on sync failures, but more from the Census end. If an actual error happens on the destination system end it is not always considered a sync failure. For example Salesforce sync and if we have rows that are going to be rejected by Salesforce, via Census it is considered as correct - where from my perspective it should be something like a warning at least.

Reverse ETLs are relatively new for me, I hadn’t heard of these systems till I came to loom but it’s been a game changer for data. At LinkedIn for example, we needed data eng to build custom integrations with each of our platforms.

Now, a significantly smaller team can accomplish the same, with more accuracy, in a fraction of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The list of available census partners can be limited, and we've had a couple instances where our census syncs have failed. Fortunately, the census customer success team was very responsive and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer support through our external Slack channel is very helpful and quick to answer questions we have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, small issues take a while to be addressed (e.g. boolean fields in syncs). For this reason, we occasionally need to find strange workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy point-and-click to get started. All you need to do is know your data warehouse table and where that data should be updated in your SaaS tool. For us, all we want to do is sync some important fields in Salesforce. It could not be easier with Census! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there was a little bit more of a low-code environment to do more customization with our syncs. For instance, I don't love that Census always needs to be pointed to a table. It would be nice to be able to maintain some custom SQL that Census runs to push results to our SaaS tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I recently started using Census and I have been blown away by its functionality and ease of use. As someone who works with data on a daily basis, I know how important it is to have a reliable and efficient tool for managing and organizing large amounts of information. Census has exceeded my expectations in every way. One of the things I love most about this tool is how user-friendly it is. The interface is intuitive and straightforward, which makes it easy to use even for those who are not tech-savvy. I was able to start using the tool right away without any need for extensive training or assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall, while Census has developed an impressive tool for data management, there is always room for improvement. By continuing to innovate and develop new features, Census could further enhance its tool and make it even more valuable for users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Having used Census to unify and manage our customer data, we have been impressed with the platform's capabilities and ease of use. The ability to create user segments and send them to email marketing platforms and ad networks has been a game-changer for our marketing campaigns, allowing us to create more targeted and personalized content for our audience. Additionally, sending lifetime value data to ad networks has helped us optimize our advertising campaigns and drive better ROI. All of this with ability to take data from centrally defined user dimension and fact tables in our data warehouse.

We have also appreciated the support of Census's customer success and product teams, who have been extremely helpful in resolving any issues we encountered and building new connectors quickly. Their responsiveness and willingness to work with us to find solutions has been outstanding.

Overall, we highly recommend Census to any business looking to unify their customer data and improve their marketing and customer success strategies. The platform's capabilities, combined with the exceptional support from the Census team, make it a valuable asset for driving business growth and improving customer experiences.

In some cases you can feel that Census is fairly young company that still experiences bugs or are missing key components in their syncs (i.e. batching the syncs, if the API endpoint is rate limited). Though in all cases they were able to fix those issues within 2-3 weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part about Cansus is that it provides an easy way for transfering data safely to our partners for advanced analytics. It's easy to use and meets our standards for privacy and security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't have much to say here since Census is one of those products where once it meets our needs, we can essentially forget about it. But one thing that I think can be improved is a better organisation of the connectors, e.g. folders and labels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
