Pros
Easy-to-use platform: Many users have praised Census for being an easy-to-use platform that simplifies the process of syncing data between different systems. The simple and effective user interface allows them to navigate between models and syncs with ease. Reviewers appreciate how intuitive the product is, allowing them to get up and running in minutes with little to no training.
Highly scalable: A significant number of reviewers have pointed out that Census is highly scalable and can integrate with various data warehouses like Redshift and S3, making it accessible to users without technical knowledge or engineers. This feature enables customers to leverage their data and activate it in downstream tools, minimizing data silos while enabling the warehouse to be a single source of truth for data.
Excellent customer support: Users are impressed by the support provided by Census's team, who are prompt, technically knowledgeable, and collaborative when looking for areas of mutual opportunity. They praise the team for resolving issues quickly and efficiently. Additionally, many reviewers appreciate that the tool has good support and frees up time for non-technical folks to make their pipelines.
We use Census to sync data to our external SAAS tools. This offloads a lot of data/analytics engineering work to Census and we can focus more on modelling business logic and maintaining our data warehouse. We love having all the integrations in one place and can be pretty confident when we use a new popular tool Census either has or can build us an integration.
Pros
Integrated with a lot of the popular tools out there
Can be set up easily
Great support
Cons
Sometimes a custom setup is very clunky, this was the case with our Intercom segment setup
There have been unexpected syncing failures before with vague error messaging.
We had issues previously with trying to rename schemas, Census still tried to use the old names.
Likelihood to Recommend
Census is well suited for any organisation looking to offload the work of implementing APIs to sync data into external systems.
