Once I learned how to best use the solution, I am bale to bulk import lead list and then enrich the data to a high percentage offering relevant sales and contact insights. This has allowed high levels of sales outreach throughout mt ABM strategy. Pros My two favorite features of Cognism are the new AI search feature and the Chrome extensions. The AI search feature makes finding my ICP extremely easy. I can search by job title/ function, Company or by specific title. This allows me to make leads list quickly which are very relevant and are enriched with sales intelligence. The Google Chrome extension is also a great feature, which allows me to make use of Cognism when outside of the web application. I can access the solution when using Linked In or when performing company research. Cons The only issue I face when using Cognism is the availability of contact information. At times I am unable to find specific contact details, such as emails or phone numbers. Although no one source of sales intelligence can give 100 accurate data, I find on the whole I am able to get about 90% of the data I need. Review Source RJ Reanne J.

As a user in sales I recommend it. Pros Easy to find specific contacts and their contact information. I like how it's synced with LinkedIn in that way I can double check the contact info. Cons It doesn't have the capabilities of showing you an org chart. It can show you the different offices that they have but not the different charts showing you different departments.

The platform’s features have significantly streamlined our account-building process, enabling us to improve intelligence and reach our KPIs more effectively. While the UserGem feature could use some improvement, as its reliability has been inconsistent, Cognism has largely revolutionized how we approach our go-to-market strategy.

Founder Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Better than Wiza, but not better than ZoomInfo." January 16, 2025 4.0 Good if you can afford it, but not necessarily better than a ZoomInfo. That being said not everyone can afford ZI. That's where Cognism comes in. Pros I love how comprehensive their lead data is compared to their competitors, especially for international leads like in the EU. Good amount of accurate AI insights. Their customer support is quite good as well. Cons It's not very easy to use, and does not offer as advanced features as ZoomInfo or LinkedIn Navigator. It doesn't exact replace those tools, which makes it a luxury option more so than the primary option. Switched from [Wiza](https://www.capterra.com/p/187039/Wiza/) Cognism offers more than Wiza in terms of functionality. They also have much better customer service when you need something resolved fast. Review Source SU Sibel U.

Review Source D�dac P. Marketing Lead E-Learning Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great tool for lead generation in eLearning!" November 8, 2024 5.0 Pros Six months in, and Cognism has become essential for our team. We used it to boost our lead quality—especially to find decision-makers we wouldn’t have known existed otherwise. We’ve been able to integrate it with HubSpot, which is great, though we do miss a list-building feature there. Thanks to Cognism, we’re reaching more relevant leads, have booked multiple sales meetings, and we’re actually about to close a big deal! Cons I’d love to see more customization options in the cold email templates, but even as is, Cognism works great. Review Source RP Randy P.

It’s a tool that does exactly what it promises without unnecessary complexity, and it’s become an essential part of my prospecting workflow. Pros Cognism’s interface is clean, user-friendly, and incredibly intuitive. Even if you’re not the most tech-savvy person, everything is laid out in a way that makes sense, which makes navigating and using the platform really easy. Cons If I had to mention one thing, it would be that some deeper features take a bit of exploring to fully understand — a brief tutorial or onboarding checklist could help new users get the most out of it faster. Review Source TF Thomas F. Account Executive Security and Investigations Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Cognism - Easy to integrate and find the right contact details quickly" November 12, 2024 5.0 Cognism has made my job much easier to perform my required metrics of calling and emailing and I found the support is quite hands on if I ever have an issue. We even had an internal session from one of their Customer Success reps which was very useful. Pros Cognism can easily integrate with my Salesforce CRM, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and RingCentral so that I can perform my sales tasks quickly and efficiently. My favourite features have to be the Diamond verified numbers which are the most accurate I've found compared to previous outreach tools and the ability to build account lists to import to track my prospecting. Cons Nothing overly stands out but sometimes it takes a while to load or some of the contacts are outdated on Cognism but I can manually update them. Review Source LA Lochlan A.

Senior Business Development Executive Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Cognism - A Godsend!" December 14, 2024 5.0 Pros Cognism has been an absolute game-changer. In my six years of software sales, I’ve worked with numerous data enrichment tools, but few match Cognism’s ease of use, smart workflows, reliable data quality, and smooth integrations. It’s a tool I can confidently recommend! Cons Some data enrichment platforms allow users to build campaign sequences directly within the tool, removing the need for external CRM integrations. This could be a valuable addition for Cognism to explore. Although its CRM integration is exceptionally smooth, having the ability to manage campaigns natively within the platform would elevate the user experience significantly. Switched from [Apollo.io](https://www.capterra.com/p/158696/Apollo/) Apollo.io was a rip of. It asked for money to reveal each new phone number, email, etc. Review Source Similar Products Featured ## Send me user reviews about this product ### Fill out the form and we'll send a list of the top-rated software based on real user reviews directly to your inbox.
