Cognism Reviews & Product Details

For our BDR Team of 12, We use Cognism to Search for companies inspecific industries and regions. I like that I can save a list of businesses and then export them into another CRM we use for outreach. Cognism also has an enrichment feature that we utilize to fill in the gaps for lead information.

It can be a litle confusing when going from a Contact Search, to Company Search and then saving to a list only to then enrich the content. I wish it was automatic when we saved to a list. Not a huge deal though

It's solving our problem of not being able to find verified email addresses and phone numbers. It Eliminates the BDR's need to find a lead. All we ask from our BDR's is to prospect each lead and touch each lead 8 times.

Easy to navigate and very useful information gained.

Not always up to date info but I guess that can't be helped

Getting me up to date info for reliable and strong calls

Simplisty Sales people have no time for difficult to run software more than 5-7 Clicks and you have lost them

Nothing as yet preference would be to export into XL not CSV File

How to find the hard to find companies that sit below the line as many do

You can't get anywhere without direct dials in this market - more CCs/ direct access to ATLs

Not as many email addresses and integration (importing contacts) can be ineffective at times.

contact info! Getting in touch with more people

The most useful about Cognism is the ability to get the rights contacts and companies with accurate data, especially for Europe, compared to their US competitor who delivers only average and inaccuratedata. Their integration with prospecting and sales software makes contacts upload to sequences very quickly. It is like a kid's game!

There is not much I dislike about Cognism. I have been doing this job for years, and this software makes my life a lot easier.

Finding companies in specific industries and contacts with accurate data, uploading contact to prospecting CRM quickly.

Cognism is the best data tool I've used. I can make lists of prospects that are super relevant with high quality data.

There are occasionally numbers that are numbers of people with the same name but not the right person.

Cognism takes the time out of finding relevant prospects which means I can spend more time reaching out and less time researching.

Ease of use, and instant results, open doors to opportunities I had previously thought were a dead end

Right now, cannot think of anything negative to say

Getting the correct contact information, confirming we are dealing with the right person, speeding up the process

Being able to get the names and contacts of people you have been trying to get hold of and the clarity and level of data is super helpful. Would be lost without this tool now!

Not so much a dislike but a wish list and recommend to improve, the function to look for international shippers/narrow down specific product searches on more than a SIC code

The contact details it is providing to be able to contact cold leads and being able to get a foot in the door. Seeing the level of employees in the business and best people to speak to within the business

Using Cognism has allowed me to get contact information for prospects I haven't obtained before. The program is super easy to use, and I can utilize all the different filters for my specific territory.

Nothing honestly. So far it has been great, the team is extremely helpful as well.

Cognism is allowing me to get contact information, as well as a better understanding of the size of the business I am going after. I have been able to obtain not only cell phone numbers but emails as well!

I like the Chrome extension. Since I work out of the US, I leverage this extension with SalesNavigator to target UK prospects. It's much easier to pull contacts this way as opposed to creating lists with filters in Cognism itself.

For the UK, a lot of the HQ numbers are not correct and there are not many Mobiles listed. The emails are on point though. I'd like there to be more mobile numbers or a higher percentage of correct HQ numbers. Specifically tailored to the office that contact is working out of.

Quick contact download to speed up the overall sales process. The extension helps me get through many names daily.

I can email Justin and get a response within 10min, shedule a tortorial on Teams if i do not understand any information. Account manger for my sales team so cummincation is clear.

I think i need to upgrade my account to access more features. I dont like the fact i can only do 25 contacts per page when trying to export to csv and share with my team.

Getting both contact numbers and emails to use for internal busiiness campaigns that save time and money but best of all help me and the sales team to be more productive daily.

Cognism has opened up hard-to-reach accounts and provided us with direct access to key decision-makers within our ICP. It's a must-have for any SDR team in the SaaS world.

Cognism provides phone numbers to a spouse or relative instead of the person I'm trying to contact. It's hard to recover and engage when you call someone's wife on accident.

Cognism is providing phone numbers that do not exist on ZoomInfo. It's crucial to have both tools in the tech stack to be more productive in prospecting and sales efforts.

Very easy to use. I like the feature where you can save your search, to be used for the next time it's used.

I don't like how sometimes it doesn't pick up people have moved jobs and you call the lead and they have moved somewhere else.

Cognism has helped me have more leads for call days. Quick and easy to use.

Cognism integrates with both SFDC and our SEP (SalesLoft). We have been able to utilize the tool to find new leads based off of industries as well as intent data. In addition, we have also been able to enhance the data of the current leads we already had. One of the things that has continued to stand out to me is that the tool has gotten better with more features over time. The other thing that I would feel terrible about if I failed to mention is just how awesome their support is. We have a dedicated account manager who checks in with us on occasion, ensures we know about new features that would be relevant and is just overall highly available to answer any support questions we have. I would highly recommend Cognism to anyone looking for leads to any industry that is present and active on LinkedIn.

I don't have a lot to add here. It's a new feature and I am sure is still being enhanced, but I would love the ability to add more filters when searching for new contacts within current existing accounts in our CRM. The ability to filter by customer fields, perhaps? Overall, I really don't have anything to complain about.

I trialed out SeamLess, ZoomInfo and a couple other tools before using Cognism. What has stood out is that the data is better (Diamond Verified #'s are awesome!) and the verified emails are great too. We had a short trial of Cognism before signing a contract and from that trial, we saw a 100% ROI on the price of our annual membership - which meant it was a no brainer. We have been able to find relevant contacts within businesses that show intent data, enhance our current database of leads and overall this has solved many of the issues we were dealing with before.

Cognism really my life savior in my work simply due to ease of exporting of prospects LinkedIN to the Hubspot directly. This really saves me huge amount of time and efforts.

Sometime what shown in the preview mode to be redeemed and result of redeemed contacts are totally different. For example, I saw a contact with prospect@company. When I redeem, it shows empty.

Quick way to mine new leads and prospects directly from Linkedin to Hubspot. This save huge amount of time required to extract list of linkedin contacts that might be potential customers.
