Census is a versatile data syncing solution that solves a wide range of data management problems for businesses. With Census, users can reduce the sync time taken to transfer data from Redshift to Salesforce, simplifying the process and increasing productivity. It also eliminates the need for custom tooling, providing a flexible solution for various needs. Many customers derive value from Census by consolidating multiple usage data views about customers into a streamlined experience for customer-facing teams, making it much more scalable and insightful.

Other benefits provided by Census include automating tasks such as sending data to several operational tools, checking and validating syncing between different tools, and importing data into the data warehouse with confidence. With Census, users can maintain a single source of truth for their data, which can be analyzed in different tools. This allows companies to have one centralized platform for sending company data outside the organization to third-party providers, eliminating the need to interact with multiple systems. In addition, Census provides governance and observability of pipelines much more straightforwardly, improving efficiency and security.

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.

Difficult to Use: Some users have found the software challenging to use due to its technical nature and require technical staff or partners to use it effectively. Users have mentioned that it is difficult to navigate the software due to a lack of documentation or knowledge articles, making it hard for standard business users.

Limited Observability: There is not much observability into the syncs created, and they often silently reject data, which can be frustrating for users managing multiple syncs at once. Alerting is minimal and doesn't cover these cases.

Pricing Structure: Some users have reported that the pricing structure has been difficult to navigate at times, especially when adding destinations as this can have a very large impact on cost. The per-field billing option is not always ideal for those with a low number of rows.

Users have made several recommendations based on their experience with Census. They recommend trying Census before making a purchase decision, as they believe its value becomes clear after use. Users find Census to be an impressive product and believe that the company is on the right track.

It is advised to have a good centralized data infrastructure and SQL expertise for optimal use of Census. Users find Census much better than writing scripts for migrating data from a Cloud database to Salesforce.

Users suggest involving non-engineering stakeholders in evaluations and proofs of concept for Census to fully understand its value. They also recommend ensuring a solid foundation of data in the systems before using Census for seamless data transfer.

Additionally, users encourage others to use Census without hesitation, but note that the support team may take some time to resolve certain issues, although they eventually provide solutions. They also suggest inquiring about Census's documentation for specific services in order to ease the setup process.
