A great way to offload engineering work so you can get back to your core business
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use Census to sync data to our external SAAS tools. This offloads a lot of data/analytics engineering work to Census and we can focus more on modelling business logic and maintaining our data warehouse. We love having all the integrations in one place and can be pretty confident when we use a new popular tool Census either has or can build us an integration.
Pros
- Integrated with a lot of the popular tools out there
- Can be set up easily
- Great support
Cons
- Sometimes a custom setup is very clunky, this was the case with our Intercom segment setup
- There have been unexpected syncing failures before with vague error messaging.
- We had issues previously with trying to rename schemas, Census still tried to use the old names.
Likelihood to Recommend
Census is well suited for any organisation looking to offload the work of implementing APIs to sync data into external systems.
