"Cognism - making LinkedIn super useful"
What do you like best about Cognism?

I like how it just works, you look at a profile and bam a few seconds later you have all the contact details of the person that you would need to reach out and grab hold of their attention.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Very little, sometimes the contact details are not always correct - but that is a small price to pay.

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

For me, who uses cognism to get the contact details of targetted individuals within a given industry, Cognism is a game changer, I have never used a tool as efficient and intuative. I confess that I have never used it to source large banks of contacts but I know you can.

"Cognism Game Changer"
What do you like best about Cognism?

It's very easy to use and highly customizable. I can create and export leads, fast, and I can export them to different file types. We have used Zoominfo with similar features but Cognism gives up the ability to fine-tune our target list.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Someone times the contact information is out of date. I don't know how often databases are updated. Verifying information sources before adding it to the database.

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

More accurate contact information. Better filter options and exporting capabilities. Being able to identify our ICP and the right POC leads to better conversation starters and a better demo schedule.

"Cognism for outbound prospecting"
What do you like best about Cognism?

We like Cognism because it has been signed off by our legal team as GDPR complaint. Cognism gives us great data and helps us build outbound marketing campaigns with additional mobile contact details, which is gold dust for us.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Its not cheap, but you get what you pay for and the alternatives are nowhere near as good.

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

Cognism is supporting us with data to grow our business in certain regions and sectors. By giving us mobile contact details, which are legally obtained, it allows us to go directly to the best contacts without any problems.

"Makes leed generation exceptionally easy."
What do you like best about Cognism?

The best feature for me is the ability to search for individuals with a selection job roles across multiple organisations simultaneously. Furthermore, the quality of contact information is outstanding.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Can be a little glitchy and laggy. I sometime got #403 errors when I was using Cognism, requiring me to contact Cognism support. This lead to time being wasted and delays. Cognism is also slow to load and run.

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

The #403 errors that I mentioned above, was always dealt with within 24hours of raising the ticket. Errors are not occuring as often with Cognism however it would be good to see Cognism run faster and smoother

"Great data at your fimgertips!"
What do you like best about Cognism?

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Some of the data is out of date or can be incorrect, i.e. telephone number no longer in use, etc.

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

Gaining access to senior management and C-suite directors at companies

"Utilising Cogmism for Business Dev Purposes in Recruitment"
What do you like best about Cognism?

The ease of use. The layout and search tools are extremely easy to navigate and search for a plethora of contacts, as a discovery tool it is the best on the market. Email accuracy is also outstanding!

What do you dislike about Cognism?

I struggle to think of any dislikes with Cognism, the system is so good that when 1 company out of 100 does not have email addresses I get frustrated. Other than that 10/10

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

Having used other similar tools in the past, I was consistently frustrated with inaccurate emails, Cognism has reduced this significantly and occurs very little.

"World class sales intelligence platform"
What do you like best about Cognism?

The GDPR-compliant and accurate data Cognism provides for us really helps shorten our sales cycles and allows us to get B2B data at the click of a button for whoever we would like to contact.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Nothing in particular. Everything was perfect

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

We used to find getting B2B mobile numbers and/or email addresses of clients and prospects time-consuming and difficult to find. With Cognism we can simply enter our Ideal Client Persona and within seconds Cognism has pulled up a list of companies and contacts we can target to potentially win new business! It’s so easy to use and the team love it. It’s become part of our daily workflow – the LinkedIn connector in particular is amazing!

"Reactive helpful & game changer data provider"
What do you like best about Cognism?

Good data to start with :) Easy interface and very reactive and helpful team !

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Maybe the only thing I could dislike is that you can only select 25 per 25 contacts, or page by page.

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

We were facing poor data when prospecting which is a waste of time in the efficiency of our BDR team. With correct data, we get the right people faster.

"Simple and efficient way of driving engagement"
What do you like best about Cognism?

I like that once a cognism campaign is set up, it will automatically do all the heavy lifting for you during the prospecting stage whilst you can focus on closing or meeting other demands of your business.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

It can take some time to understand how to make the most use out of cognism especially as there are no online help tutorials (eg creating a list or creating a campaign) .

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

Cognism is making the prospecting stage a lot easier by automating the mundane task of sending out engagement emails to prospects. This is a very important part of a sales journey, but often the hardest and cognise makes it easier by automating the process.
