“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.”
"Because we’re using the API, it’s very easy for us to pull back all the information about our syncs – how many records failed, how many records succeeded, how many records tried to sync – and we can plug that information into our internal monitoring systems."
"A data analyst looks at data, looks at dashboards, finds insights, and is then able to activate it using Census all in one step. It’s really, really powerful and I think we're going to get a lot of use out of 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."
“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!”
"Census solves two problems for us. It removes the bottleneck to get integrations out of the warehouse. It also centralizes where we look for data going out so it’s given us a lot more confidence."
"Our tech stack including Snowflake and Census allows us to integrate our data from multiple different sources into one source of truth, so that we can activate all our data and unlock it in lots of different ways. Census helps us create audiences and segments and even push machine learning outputs into Braze, or ad platforms such as Facebook and Google Ads. It also means we're not locked into the particular limitations of an individual tool, like a CDP, so we can have a great deal of flexibility."
"With Census, we were at scale and fully operationalized by the time our trial was finished."
"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'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."
"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."
“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.”
"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."
"Data teams get stretched thin. It’s so important that the operational people can just own the operations pieces."
