## Cogent Reviews
  ### 1. Cogent Innovative Support Software

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Terri G. | Director of Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** November 15, 2020

**What do you like best about Cogent?**

Cogent support is quick in response time.  The AgreeYa team manages the Cogent support team goes beyond the scope of most company support.  Technolgy companies can fail quickly, regardless of how good if their support staff cannot assist its customers.

**What do you dislike about Cogent?**

Cogent is addressing the items they need to improve.  It seems unfair to pull out any one thing Cogent needs to correct or make available because if I turned in a ticket today, they would make sure any complaint or suggestion about their system they would start working on and make it available in a future release.

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

No problems....I would say we are making improvements with Cogent to keep the product moving forward.   Our business has increased due to the functionality of Cogent.  This product was good when we started using it.... it is so much more today.   They update their system regularly to keep up with industry demands.

  ### 2. Great ISP

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 20, 2022

**What do you like best about Cogent?**

Cogent has some of the best uptime I've seen.  We rarely see an outage on their end.

**What do you dislike about Cogent?**

I do wish they had a larger native footprint.  To get them outside Shared Data Centers, you must ride over a 3rd Party in many locations.

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cogent provides some of the best internet services in the business.  The response time and latency are far better than many competitors.

  ### 3. Cogent is a MUST for professional collection firms!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Kohltan M. | Assistant to Director of Operations, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 03, 2022

**What do you like best about Cogent?**

Cogent provides a great deal of ease of use when navigating through files and the system overall.

**What do you dislike about Cogent?**

Cogent support can sometimes be timely or difficult to get a solution for otherwise simple issues.

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cogent is solving the issue of legal files previously being handled by hand through hard copies. Cogent digitilizes legal practice and makes it easier to manage.

  ### 4. Cogent— the best app for legal data collection

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Chemicals | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 05, 2021

**What do you like best about Cogent?**

Cogent is one of the best software for legal data collection. The user interface is very friendly. It minimises the human effort and enhance the performance.

**What do you dislike about Cogent?**

Like most of the app it also has some bugs. But the best part is we won't be able to find it. So it's kind of perfect for me.

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I generally collect data for my work with this software.

  ### 5. If stuck between Cogent and AT&T, go Cogent

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Isidoro "Roy" J. | IT Administrator, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2019

**What do you like best about Cogent?**

Their pricing structure is much better than AT&T, even though they often use AT&T's fiber circuits

**What do you dislike about Cogent?**

When piggybacking off AT&T, you're subject to their network issues

**Recommendations to others considering Cogent:**

If in the SF area and it's available where you're at, I'd recommend Monkey Brains, but as my title states, I'd choose Cogent over AT&T

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Internet service. The price for performance was the best for what was available

  ### 6. Improving credit and collections at your fingertips

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Accounting | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2021

The learning curve to use this software.  A little more than some but it is a small problem

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

time management for resolving collection issues.

  ### 7. Using Cogent for background checks.

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 24, 2021

**What do you like best about Cogent?**

Cogent performs background checks and fingerprinting.

**What do you dislike about Cogent?**

The website is a little confusing.  It is hard to maneuver around.  I also don't receive an alert when the results are available.

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I enter the employee's information, and they take care of the rest.  I log in to see the results.

  ### 8. Best Legal Collection Software in the Industry

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ben H. | Director Of Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2020

**What do you like best about Cogent?**

Cogent is definitely the most advanced software solution for legal collections.  The workflows and automations are the best and the ability to streamline business while minimizing errors can't be beat.

**What do you dislike about Cogent?**

Like all software solutions, Cogent isn't perfect.  There are bugs that can be hard to trace and replicate which make them very hard to resolve.  Support is responsive and does their best to help.

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are much more efficient and accurate.

  ### 9. Helpful for large caseloads

**Rating:** 3.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrea J. | Paralegal , Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 24, 2019

**What do you like best about Cogent?**

Ability to organize large volume based on next pending tasks. Ability to print multiple documents for different files. Able to put custom comments and codes as well as mass action multiple files to do the same thing such as put them in another queue or print a document. 

**What do you dislike about Cogent?**

I am not sure if there is a new version of the software out but software is definitely a little outdated and not user friendly. It takes a while to get used to Cogent and if you are not used to computers it will take even longer. It is confusing because each time you open a window it opens separately instead of something like a "New Tab".There are some issues I have with Cogent that I am not sure is just due to our IT department or Cogent itself. Additionally, as far as I am aware there is no current support for Cogent. 

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am solving problems such as the ability to be able to keep up with and on top of thousands of files and batch print many documents at once instead of one by one. 

  ### 10. Experience

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Legal Services | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 18, 2019

**What do you like best about Cogent?**

Cogent is comfortable to use.  The results are accurate and there is no guessing as to what selection need to be made.  

**What do you dislike about Cogent?**

There are so many key strokes but the end result is good.

**What problems is Cogent solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I use Cogent on a daily basis and am comfortable with it.
