43 Census Testimonials

“Census is a big part of how we drive net new business and greatly reduce costs using data. Often you’ll have a multifaceted campaign that needs to target the same users across many different touchpoints. What we’ve been able to do in Census is finally have a system where we can create centralized audiences for all our different platforms and share out that audience to whichever system needs it.”

"Census allowed us to do things that, at other companies, had taken months to build with a data team."

"This is revolutionary. When we first implemented the data warehouse, we tried to be digital leaders in sport but could never get to a personalized experience. We had the warehouse but couldn’t activate it, because I didn’t want to build a monolithic system and the API. This makes me so happy."

“Cost scalability is a key consideration for us. We’ve been burnt before with event volumes so we went into cost scalability with eyes wide open.”

“During the evaluation phase, we found Census to be so much more user friendly. It’s one of the best tools that I've ever used in terms of how easy it is to integrate with other tools, connect to Snowflake, and even build segments. It's literally very intuitive and it feels like the people who've created the product have really tried to put themselves in the user's shoes.”

“My background is marketing and I'm finding Census very, very easy to use compared to other tools. You don't have to be an engineer to actually understand how to use it.”

"We evaluated what it would take to build these capabilities, and it was a six-month process to create an MVP with just a handful of platforms. It just didn't make sense. With Census Embedded, I can keep my development overhead low and focus on what makes NextAfter unique. Moving faster is going to translate into much better results and ROI long term."

"It’s transforming the way that we operate."

"Data teams get stretched thin. It’s so important that the operational people can just own the operations pieces."

"With Census, we were at scale and fully operationalized by the time our trial was finished."

“Our sales people don’t want to look at 10 different tools to understand what our users are doing. The system we’ve built with Census brings the data right to their fingertips so they can focus and spend more time with customers.”

"Without Census, our sales reps would be flying blind or need a dedicated sales analyst to support them."

“Whoa, this is kind of like Fivetran flipped around to the other side of the data warehouse. It's exactly what I'm looking for!”

"We have a fire hose of signups and users that come through — having that data live in a CRM is not optimal. But once you have structured data coming through the data warehouse, you're able to pass that back to your GTM (go-to-market) teams in a highly actionable way."

“Census can tell me exactly what might be wrong. It could be a Salesforce trigger or not having permission to a certain field. With all that information and all those records, specific details are captured in Census, which means it's easier to go and troubleshoot that data. Even people who are not as close to the data can still go in and look at what might be wrong, because Census provides a good layer of transparency into how the data pipeline is feeding the data.”
