"Some cross-cultural specifics"
What do you like best about Cognism?

It is very easy to find contacts and they are verified. So that is a big plus.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

I can filter by departments, yes, but there is no procurement department. It appears very american. Using it for Germany I doubt it can filter states such as Bavaria, Baden-Wuerttemberg....

"Cognism is like a cheat code for leads"
What do you like best about Cognism?

I love the ability to create lead lists and export to CSV. This teamed with Sales Navigator makes specific lead generation really quick and easy. Duplicate checking these leads against themselves is fantastic.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

I find that sometimes there are glitches or it behaves slowly, especially when interacting with the plugin and generating large lists for the exporting process mentioned above.

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

Mostly Cognism cuts a significant amount of time out of creating a list of high quality leads to work through. Before, I would have had to go through and source phone numbers, direct lines, addresses etc manually which takes a lot of time and effort, and Sales Navigator doesn't have the facility to do this effectively.

"Excellent tool, interface, functionality and support."
What do you like best about Cognism?

The interface is great, links to chrome seamlessly, it also hasn't once crashed on me in 9 months. The support network is great too. I use it every day, and it's become a vital BD tool. Very easy to use and implement as part of our BD methods. The contact number and email gathering features are great.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Not being able to see how many people in a company have a phone number within a list and having to click "number"

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

Gathering phone numbers and email addresses for potential contacts.

"Super for finding and following leads!"
What do you like best about Cognism?

I've not long been in the sale game, one of my biggest concerns was how I was going to find my contacts and most importantly the 'right' contacts. Cognism makes it so easy to find key DMCs within a company that can help you to get the convesation moving in the right direction. And the way it links up nicely with LinkedIn Sales Nav is immaculate. It's so easy to use, the range of filters available to you in order to fine tune your results is great. I use it every day.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Occasionally the contact details you take from cognism are incorrect, but I've found this to be minimal and it's often quite easy to figure out the correct details needed from the other search results.

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

It's often hard to find the right person to speak to when contacting a business. If you phone the direct line you're often presented with a gatekeeper/reseptionist who can't help you or pass you on to the correct person. Cognism allows you to bypass this stage at times and get in touch with the correct person right of the bat.

"Daily user of this platform"
What do you like best about Cognism?

Against other data providers their platform is far easier to navigate & accurate more often than not. I also use Cognism's Chrome extension to enrich my LinkedIn prospects with data and am having a great time reducing the time/stress of having to even switch tabs between datasets to do so.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

I only briefly explored the intent data, and I do not dislike it at all I am just keen to see as to what more this has to offer, I appreciate it has been in early stages up until this recent point and it isn't a negative as such, I guess it wasn't the most appropriate thing for my use case, nevertheless really interesting.

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

Cognism is solving problems with innacuracies and lack of correct data in key industries that I operate within for myself in particular and I'm finding that their are records for a large majority of potential customers that I'd like to engage with.

"Facilidade e Agilidade"
What do you like best about Cognism?

As conexões com outras plataformas, como por exemplo o Salesforce. Isso facilita e otimiza muito o meu tempo, pois preciso encontrar diversos contatos da mesma empresa e qualificá-los de forma ágil para a prospecção.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Eu acredito que não seja necessário a quantidade de filtros disponíveis. Isso me confunde um pouco. A plataforma poderia ser mais simples e intuitiva, assim otimizaria ainda mais o tempo.

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

Ele me auxilia na captura de leads de qualidade, com as principais informações dos contatos certos/decisores para a realização de uma prospecção qualitativa. Abordando mais contatos tenho mais resultados e respostas na venda.

Nothing major - earlier versions definitely took some getting used to, but the enablement on offer really helped our teams to build out repeatable processes.

"Fantastic Support"
What do you like best about Cognism?

Whenever I message our CSM needing anything, the answer is always "Yes". Adam has been looking after us for a few months now and has made a big difference to the running of our account.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

I would like to be able to choose columns that come off when exporting data.

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

It allows us to benefit from the huge database that they have. The filters help us to narrow down, so that we are only prospecting to contacts that we believe have a genuine interest in our product. When I have viewed other products similar to Cognism, noone else quite has the database size to compare.

"Cognism is a premium sales tool!"
What do you like best about Cognism?

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 especially in the EMEA region. The highlight are the smooth integrations with our CRM and LinkedIn. I have had the pleasure of working closely with Lauren Murphy our Customer Sucess Manager at Cognism. She has been fantastic, her attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile when it came to arranging training sessions or helping with extracting bespoke data has been incredibly useful.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Nothing in particular hopefully the quality of APAC data soon catches up to EMEA.

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

Cognism has been beneficial when it comes to building lead lists it is an extremely valuable tool for our SDR's and SMB Sales Reps.
