43 Census Testimonials

"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."

“If we don’t have this data, we’re not going to have a Sales team.”

“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.”

"I’ve failed as a Revenue Ops leader if I’ve sent users into a BI tool to retrieve information. I want to make sure the data shows up where they’re working — it’s at their fingertips whenever they need it."

"Rapid iteration is hard to do when you don’t have data. You don’t have the ability to try different things. You run the same playbook, not optimizing, not growing. With access to this data, my team can turn their ideas into action faster than ever."

“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.”

“It was extremely minimal, Back in the day we used a tool that literally did one job load the account ID, and then everything was triggered based on that. But because of that, everything happened in a very suboptimal way.”

“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 makes data a lot more accessible. Reps want to have the data they need immediately to be able to act on it. Now they can actually do that."

"We want to be a source of truth for pricing and billing data. But in order to be a source of truth, we need to distribute that data to relevant services. Exporting to Salesforce is a non-negotiable for our customers, and Census Embedded helps us do that seamlessly."

"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."

"We've been able to train folks who traditionally would write out a request form, send it to the BI team, and wait a few days to get their data. Now we've got analysts outside of the BI team, folks who aren't comfortable writing code or merging changes into our BI repo, that can set up their own connections to feed their operations tools out of our warehouse."
