Pros:

Cognism has been easy to use and really helpful. I’m satisfied with how it works and the results I’ve seen so far.

Cons:

all for me is good, in the end I usually find what I want. Sometimes Cognism only shows the company’s main number, and I’d really like to get the direct number of the customer instead.

BDR for Financial SaaS Platform

A good thing about the software is that it has a lot of functionalities. This does mean that there's a learning curve for new team members. I'd say it's definetly worth the time to invest in learning the different functionalities. Cognism even did an in person training to help us get the most out of the platform. Overal the lead generation we're realizing with Cognism is amazing. It helps us find the correct prospect: we can filter through dozens of very detailed filters, helping us to find our exact ICP. It also connects with our CRM which makes this process even easier. Once we have identified the right prospects for our accounts we can then find their contact details (mobiles, HQ, direct lines and email addresses). The speed with which we can contact our prospects has improved our sales cycle by a lot! We can also request Cognism to look for mobile numbers if they aren't know yet. This allows us to contact executives whom usually don't have mobile numbers that show. The quality of the data has been a lot higher quality compared to other vendors.

Functionality

Pros:

We've been using Cognism for more than 1.5 years now and from the start it has been great. The value it provides our business development team and sales team is immense. In short what our teams like is that we can find the right prospect for each account, and then easily find the right contact details so we can reach out to them. Before this process took a lot of our time. Now we can work at speed, which shortens our sales cycles and improves our bottom line.

Cons:

The 'Diamond Verify' function (Cognism looking to find mobile numbers not yet known) is amazing! The only comment on it is that it sometimes takes quite a while to receive them, while these usually are very urgent and important calls to make. Receiving this faster would be amazing.

Reasons for switching to Cognism

Lusha didn't have mobile numbers for a lot of our prospects, so we tested a few other tools to see if they were better. Cognism won: had a lot of accurate contact data.

Pros:

I found that managing my data became a lot more efficient as I was able to keep track of my prospect base in an efficient and convenient manner

Cons:

I think that some of the details in the prospecting tool could be enhanced, it's hard to tell if someone is the right contact with just their job title.

Reasons for switching to Cognism

Cognism is native to GDPR whereas zoominfo is not, so the switch made sense

Misleading renewal and lacking credit card control on the backend.

The technology works mostly. The integrations work. The customer success team is only interested in profit and loss and not the success of the clients. Their renewal and backend payment processes is misleading and purposeful to keep clients with the platform. Therefore I can't recommend them until they give the payment and renewal control to the admin. This is standard in 2025.

Pros:

The technology works. The connection to the CRM works great. The quality of the data is good 50% of the time.

Cons:

We changed our sales model and were not able to leave. Cognism's backend does not give uses the control of their account, which credit cards to use, or executing renewals. Therefore, we had changed our sales model, and they notified me I could not cancel our subscription and we were auto renewed and notified via an email from our rep that went to the spam filter. They need to be transparent with their contacting and renewal process. in 2025, SaaS platforms need to give Admins the ability to renew on the platform and control payment methods.

Cognism makes prospecting faster and cleaner

Higher connect rates and faster time‑to‑first conversation with the right decision‑makers. The compliance‑by‑design approach reduces risk while improving productivity. Great fit for teams that care about accuracy and doing outbound the right way.

Pros:

Accurate direct dials & emails for the right contact persons—fewer wasted calls. Near‑zero email bounces in my day‑to‑day. Built‑in DNC/opt‑out suppression—no contact details shown for records that shouldn’t be contacted, which keeps outreach respectful and compliant. Monthly webinars with high‑quality sales training.

Cons:

Would love even more niche coverage in specific Belux micro‑segments (minor wish list). Very strong tool when I already know the prospect. Could be better to actually find the right decision maker.
