AI Generated Summary
AI-generated. Powered by real user reviews.
- G2 reviewers report that Cognism excels in overall user satisfaction, boasting a significantly higher G2 Score compared to Surfe. Users appreciate the intuitive design of the Cognism Chrome extension, highlighting its ease of use and seamless integration with LinkedIn for quick access to contact information.
- Users say that Cognism's implementation process is notably straightforward, with many praising the initial setup as very easy. In contrast, while Surfe also offers a user-friendly experience, some users feel that it may not match the same level of efficiency in onboarding.
- Reviewers mention that Cognism provides robust support, with a high quality of assistance reported by users. They appreciate features like the diamond tool for verifying numbers, which enhances their confidence in the data provided. Surfe, while also receiving positive feedback for its support, does not match the same level of satisfaction in this area.
- According to verified reviews, Surfe shines in its integration capabilities, particularly with CRM systems like Pipedrive. Users find it incredibly time-saving for relationship management, which is a standout feature. However, Cognism's broader market presence and feature set may appeal more to mid-market users looking for comprehensive sales intelligence.
- G2 reviewers highlight that both products offer strong data enrichment features, but Surfe edges out slightly in lead enrichment and validation. Users appreciate how Surfe combines data enrichment with sales administration, making it easy to pull contact information from LinkedIn directly into their CRM.
- Users report that while Cognism has a higher overall satisfaction rating, Surfe's user experience is rated slightly better in terms of ease of use. This suggests that while Cognism may offer more features, Surfe provides a more streamlined experience for small businesses, particularly in managing relationships and data.
