"Awesome tool to collect relevant data/prospects efficiently!"
What do you like best about Cognism?

How much more efficiently we can collect data and relevant prospects. Saves us a lot of time and the data is of high quality.

Nothing major at all, just a better filtering/sorting function in the lists would be nice. Other than that nothing to dislike really.

"E&S - Cognism Onboarding Opinion"
What do you like best about Cognism?

Prospecting is powerful - the ability to build out Campaigns and schedule in advance for multiple days is beyond convenient. The Intent Data is great info! I compared to three other packages and this one seems to be the best overall value. The Onboarding was excellent - Adamina was simply fantastic!!!

What do you dislike about Cognism?

A few programming quirks - for example - when you schedule a campaign it shows in the detail to run the next day but the Calendar reflects two days away - they do not sync - and they do not go out as scheduled on the exact day but do go out on the refected Calendar day - odd. A ticket has been submitted.

"Why I love Cognism"
What do you like best about Cognism?

The LinkedIn ribbon fits perfectly into my workflow! I don't have to log on to a separate webpage to access all the information I need.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Would be great to be able to access campaigns from the ribbon as well rather than logging into the platform! (Which takes a bit of time and a couple of open tabs, would be nice if it was all on one window)

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

Data, having direct contact details for epople i want to speak to is a massive help in my role!

"Super Supportive!"
What do you like best about Cognism?

Whilst using the Cognism tool there was nothing I couldn't ask Bansi Kaked. She guided me through everything and nothing was ever too much!

Sometimes it felt as though there were a lot of steps for one small task. However, once you are used to the process this is no longer an issue.

We like the data and insights that are provided by Cognism. How the platform continually has updates and improvements. Our CSM, Sam was the main reason when updating our contract that we boosted our agreement to ensure we still had her support.

Would be great to gain better data outside US and UK.

"One of the best email marketing tools"
What do you like best about Cognism?

A lot of scope for specific targeting and full control over the messaging you are sending out in a sequence.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Some of the newer additions are a bit clunky - the email replies and opened emails section on the dashboard deserve their own section. Also, it would be good to be able to sort by campaign and date, to see replies in order. We still have to track this manually.

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

We have used Cognism to generate engaged contacts, which then can be added to a sales funnel and have more chance of converting than a cold reach-out campaign.

"Quality Data Excellent Service"
What do you like best about Cognism?

The platform is easy to navigate and intuitive. The data is some of the best I ahve used particularly for specific job titles. The back up and in particular my account manager Bansi Kakad were excellent.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Possibly a better way to filter your results per company (bring all in one company together) before you download them

"Very proactive and accurate data sourcing company!"
What do you like best about Cognism?

I very much like having Bansi Kakad as our account manager. She is very proactive in her approach and incredibly customer focused. She helps us to proactively plan how we use the service. The only downside is that we wish we could be as proactive internally so that we could make the most of the investment!

What do you dislike about Cognism?

The Platform has had a steady increase in functionality, since we came across it back in 2019. What I would appreciate is a clear roadmap of features and enhancements that are planned. This is by no means a reflection on Cognism. Maybe we are not educated enough here to look at available roadmap items. So we would welcome that!

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

Cognism has given us direct access to the data we wish we could extract previously. The way we can control our own searches that are tailored to our needs, all from within the interface is a huge plus.
