What's inside:
What you'll learn
Data connector quality
Reverse ETL tools are only as good as the quality of their connectors. Investigate both connector breadth and connector depth. Read more...
SQL fluency and ease of use
To ensure focus on insights, check that your tool speaks SQL, is easy to use, lets you flexibly create models, and integrates with dbt. Read more...
Sync robustness
Sync robustness is arguably the most critical aspect of your reverse ETL tool. You’ll likely have multiple syncs pulling from the same connector for different models and use cases. Read more...
Community and vendor support
It’s just as important that their teams include best-in-the-business data experts. You’re up-leveling your data strategy and you need a partner who will help you make the most of it. Read more...
Observability
Try as you, your team, and your vendors may, data outages and errors can come up. It’s important you get alerts quickly. Read more...
Transparent pricing
We get it, it’s important that your future data partner offer transparent pricing that scales with your organization (and is easy for you to predict out into the future). Read more...
Security & regulatory compliance
Customers and regulators expect you to act as a good steward of your data, and your reverse ETL vendor should help you safeguard all of your sensitive information. Read more...

I used to develop reverse ETL systems with Python and Airflow for destinations like Eloqua, Mixpanel, Braze, Intercom, and Salesforce. Every destination requires different data types, formats, rate limits, and API requests. Census saves me from maintaining my custom code, so I can spend more time to optimize the system itself.
Census takes what the analytics team does out of static dashboards and into tools that the rest of the company uses, allowing us to actually deliver on the promise of being “data driven”.
“My favorite tool in our martech stack!!”
