43 Census Testimonials

"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."

“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.”

"One of our biggest concerns when finding a reverse ETL tool was ease-of-use. Census has been extremely easy to use and easy to implement."

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

"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 helped us leverage technology in the right way to make sure we orchestrate most effectively.”

"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."

“An indispensable tool for BizOps and Go-to-market teams."

"Census handles the PebblePost integration using SFTP — sending customer addresses in the format that they want and the segment they’re part of as a tag."

"We've always had analytics data coming through to Customer.io through Segment, but there was previously no ability to transform that data. There was a clear gap for us around the way we handled ETL and our ETL layer."

"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."

"We estimated that it would take six months to implement a CDP fully, but with Census we were up and running in one day. There was no need to modify the code base. There was no UAT. We just plugged it into the data warehouse and were ready to go."

"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."

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

"As Marketing is coming up with campaigns and ideating on them, we don't have to deal with complex code, and we'll have more real-time insights into exactly when the data is syncing."
