I use Cognism to find emails and phone numbers for my lead lists - we do a lot of outbound activity and thus having a tool like Cognism is vital.

Pros

Cognism is easy to use and easy to understand. The customer service is impeccable and my problem was quickly resolved.

Cons

I often have to change my password, but that may be an operations mistake on my end.

October 5, 2023

5.0

Overall I think it is a great value.

Pros

I like how accurate and up to date the database is. Alongside their intent data.

### "So far the best B2B contact / leadgen databases I came across"

December 22, 2023

5.0

Pros

It comes with complex filter options and allowing detailed targeting and outreach in compliance with GDPR. Aditionally helpful Chrome-Plugin and account management supporting the onboarding and during the customer journey.

Cons

Enhanced filter option e.g. funding round btw. 12-24 months and additional languages to English would be great.

### "Best data capture tool I've used!"

July 26, 2022

5.0

Pros

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

Cons

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

### "Good tool for cold outreach"

December 18, 2018

4.0

Overall the Cognism team has been exceptional in their support and willingness to help us success with their product. It's been a great experience and we have tried many competitors.

Pros

I like the ease and speed of use - you can create custom filters and drill lists down deeper and deeper really quickly which saves tons of time data cleaning and exporting lists.

Cons

Overall Cognism is a great product but overall cold outreach and prospecting is a tough errand, so success is hard to come by. It's a lot of grunt work for non predictable returns.

### "Good tool for lead generation"

December 8, 2023

3.0

Overall, great tool which is very simple and easy to use!

Pros

Really great in getting information using cognism to reach out to prospects. You can find emails and phone numbers most of the time. Quite simple to use as well.

Cons

Some times a company you are looking for is not on the system at all which would be helpful. Would be great for generic email of a company to be included as well if there are no emails for the persons available.
