My experience with Cognism
Cognism solves key challenges in B2B sales and marketing by providing access to high-quality data, streamlining prospecting and lead generation processes, enabling personalized outreach and engagement, improving sales efficiency and effectiveness, and facilitating data-driven decision-making. By leveraging the capabilities of Cognism, you can achieve higher conversion rates, increased productivity, and improved ROI on your sales and marketing efforts, ultimately driving business growth and success.
PROSWhat I like best about Cognism is its ability to empower us with accurate data, AI-driven insights, and a comprehensive toolset, all supported by exceptional customer service. It has truly transformed the way we approach B2B sales and marketing, helping us drive tangible results and achieve our business goals effectively.
CONSWhile I understand the value proposition offered by Cognism, I find that the pricing plans may be relatively high for smaller businesses or startups. Adjusting pricing tiers or offering more flexible payment options could make the platform more accessible to a broader range of users.

Business-Critical
Having implemented Cognism into a handful of different businesses, and therefore having experience of utilising the data in multiple industries, selling to a range of buyers, I can honestly say it's unrivalled for both ease-of-use and data quality. I've explored alternatives time and again because Cognism certainly isn't the cheapest on the market, but also because due dil, and time and again it proves to be the only enerprise data platform worth its salt, particularly for the UK and EMEA. It's a tool I use on a daily basis and wouldn't be without. I'll always come back to Cognism for: 1. Ease of setup and onboarding 2. Intuitive, easy to use for all users 3. Simple and robust integration with Salesforce
CONSMy score would be a 10 but for customer success. My most recent experience has been very hands-off (we literally haven't heard from them since the first week of onboarding). Saying that I don't really know what I'd need them for since it's such an easy to use tool, but it would be nice to hear from them once in a while.

Cognism - Campaign Champions!
Very impressed with Cognism, From UX to their customer support, its been incredible
PROSCognism is incredible quick and easy to navigate The lead search is one of the best systems I have used You can either use this system for contact finding, lead generation or campaign production The step by step set up for campaigns is incredibly efficient and free's up alot of time
CONSTrying to navigate around spam requirements which arent incredibly clear when you start using it. If you select the wrong option when generating your campaign lists, you can't go back and amend them (such as number of people in an organisation)

Great service
I'm a big fan of Cognism's general layout, design and ease of use as well as other features such as intent data which I was fortunate enough to trial. My favorite overall is the LinkedIn Chrome Extension that they provide for data enrichment which works amazingly for me, to add prospects into lists and into Salesforce makes my life much easier.
CONSI'd like to see some more SME prospects though this would provide considerably more difficult for them to implement I'd imagine and perhaps rather niche use cases.

Best data provider I've used
It has doubled (or tripled) our team's performance and we are finding we are having many more conversations
PROSThe webapp is super user friendly and the data quality is very good
CONSI feel like it doesn't have too many things I don't like. It would be good if the export to SF was slightly quicker, but that may not be an issue on Cognism's end. I would also like if the TPS mobiles didnt export

Reliable sales prospecting tool with quality data
Cognism has the most up-to-date database. With the built-in Bombora intent data, we have been able to level up our ICP criteria to include intent data. This enables us to prioritise high-intent accounts over others. Also, their support team are very fast at responding back.
CONSI had to export 25 contacts each time if I didn't pay for bulk credit. I want to target accounts by department size, sadly, this is not available in Cognism yet.

Great for Sales Execs gaining contact data, tricky to lead gen accurately
Happy with my usage, relatively basic, just wished it had more numbers of directors within smaller businesses.
PROSJumping the ladder to decision makers is key for quick prospecting and speaking to the right people. Finding out other people within the business who do different things.
CONSAccurately creating lead gen lists, it collates more data than you'd like.
