"Cognism is a life saver!"
What do you like best about Cognism?

My role is heavily focused on prospecting, cognism allows me to build an account list & lead list, after that i'm provided with the mobile numbers and emails of decision makers making my outreach a lot more fruitful.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

A small number of times the mobile number is incorrect, however when it gets flagged the team are usually quick to get this amended and the right number ends up being on my homepage for me to recontact.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Reaching the right people directly is the problem is solves for me and it benefits me because it reduces the number of calls I have to make in order to get a connected call.

"Best in class Business Intelligence"
What do you like best about Cognism?

I evaluated several systems at the same time as Cognism. While they all had good points, only Cognism fulfilled all of our requirements. The interface is extremely simple to use, both for users and for admin. We have found the quantity and quality of the information is high. Two very nice additions to my must-have list were integration with Pipedrive CRM and the LinkedIn browser plug-in. However most importantly for me the customer service and level of contact and support has been extremely high.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Would like to see more useful "Technologies" in use currently only "Illumina" is a useful one for our industry. A small hiccup with the initial set up of our system but that was sorted out in minutes by the team at Cognism. Some CSV exports don't always look right in Excel

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Finding new potential customers and reaching out to them in a strategic and logical way. Cognism has helped to Identify new businesses that we were not yet aware of; find and contact the key people within those businesses.

Sometimes it's hard to find smaller companies in the SMB segment, as well as the technologies filter isn't to accurate

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps us prospect companies and contacts way faster than we previously have with other softwares

"This is how all companies should operate."
What do you like best about Cognism?

From the first call with their sales team, my interaction with Cognism has been enjoyable. The Cognism team is very professional and responds promptly to any question you may have. The onboarding was painless, the training was perfect, and their after-sales customer service is an example of any customer-facing company. It's refreshing to work with a company that puts its customers first again. The solution itself contains high-quality data and is very user-friendly. Can't but recommend Cognism very highly.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

So far, there is nothing to dislike about Cognism.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Cognism for our marketing and business development team. The integration with LinkedIn is beneficial, and the data quality (email addresses and mobile phone numbers) saves us a lot of time. However, our team is most excited about the "intent to buy" the data contains.

"Cognism B2B data"
What do you like best about Cognism?

The ease of use and ability to finesse data lists as you build them - and the quality of the data provided.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

The price point when it comes to exporting lists in bulk vs standard.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have identified our ideal customer profile and target sectors and lacked the compliant data to enable us to target them effectively - Cognism solves our contact data requirement.

"Fantastic Product & Even Better People"
What do you like best about Cognism?

The diamonds on-demand data is incredibly high quality. Their coverage in NA and EMEA is also fantastic. Beyond all that, they have been incredibly responsive to all inquiries our team has sent their way and is always quick to try to help us any way they can.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

None so far - they have a few features on their roadmap that will make our experience even better.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have a growing outbound sales motion which is fueled by account-based targeting at the top and middle of our funnel, but they help our sales team work in concert with those efforts with a more personal approach.

"Best data capture tool I've used!"
What do you like best about Cognism?

The interface is lightweight, and integrates well with Sales Navigator and Salesforce without making the experience buggy.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

It would be better if you could capture data for every prospect - however, the reality is that this is impossible with any tool.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our problem is that we need data to conduct sales activities, and Cognism provides said data.

"10/10 for prospecting"
What do you like best about Cognism?

Fantastic data source that not only provides top quality actionable data, but improves my workflow efficiency. Love the data report function that allows you to get updated data if needed!

What do you dislike about Cognism?

That I didn't use it sooner! Emails aren't as high accuracy as numbers but as a phone first prospector that is a very minor dislike.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Eliminating time wasted when prospecting. Increasing connect rates and in turn opportunities created.

"Enabled Us To Hit Quota"
What do you like best about Cognism?

Phone numbers - Cognism's data has given our team access to leads that we otherwise would never have got, which meant within week 1 of using Cognism we were back to exceeding quota. Will Arney was also fantastic in getting us up and running quickly and showing us exactly how the software works so that we could hit the ground running from day 1.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

The Chrome ext takes up quite a lot of space on the right hand of the screen, can make it difficult to open other plugins - only a minor problem.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Providing us direct access to Decision Makers

"Straightforward product with high quality data and awesome company culture"
What do you like best about Cognism?

1. High-quality phone number data in Europe, which is typically hard to find. 2. Friendly, patient, and helpful employees. 3. Smooth onboarding. 4. Useful seminars that focus on sales skills.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Email addresses aren't always correct, you should use an email verification system together with Cognism. However, this happens with pretty much any other email cultivating tool.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having the right phone number data saves a lot of time and frustration. Sales calls are already hard, no need to make them harder with wrong phone numbers. Outreaching using phone calls is more efficient and effective.

Good filter options to get the right email addresses and other data of the personas you are interested in. The LinkedIn Chrome plugin is a very quick tool to get specific information into your CRM.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Not always very up-to-date information. Sometimes people have already left the company for some years.

What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you?

Retrieving email lists of potential prospects to use in email marketing.
