I evaluated several systems at the same time as Cognism. While they all had good points, only Cognism fulfilled all of our requirements. The interface is extremely simple to use, both for users and for admin. We have found the quantity and quality of the information is high. Two very nice additions to my must-have list were integration with Pipedrive CRM and the LinkedIn browser plug-in. However most importantly for me the customer service and level of contact and support has been extremely high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Would like to see more useful "Technologies" in use currently only "Illumina" is a useful one for our industry. A small hiccup with the initial set up of our system but that was sorted out in minutes by the team at Cognism.

A standout aspect was the ability to uncover connections to other contacts within targeted companies, giving us valuable insights to enhance our outreach strategy. The exceptional customer support was the cherry on top, ensuring a smooth and efficient experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While the platform offers excellent features, the pricing might feel a bit high for smaller teams or startups with limited budgets. A more flexible pricing structure could make it more accessible to a broader range of users.
That said, these are minor issues compared to the overall value the platform delivers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cognism is a key piece in helping conduct new business expansion and growh plans but also drilling down into contacts that we identify with high intent and are likely to engage with our products and services. The interface is easy to navigate (the AI search piece reduces the admin in locating information) and the integration piece (along with creating 'lists') makes it easy to pull data out - and fast.
Whether your fighting off data degredation, or sourcing key account information for a sales play, the tool is critical in any modern data strategy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some functionality will require additional budget to access - but I find that, for the frequency of use (multiple touch points weekly) that we get the value from our current package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cognism has become an indispensable tool in my sales arsenal. After a year of using it, I can confidently say it's revolutionized my contact-finding process.
The platform's ability to pinpoint key decision-makers within companies has been a game-changer. It's streamlined my outreach efforts by ensuring I'm connecting with the right people from the start. The seamless integration with LinkedIn Sales Nav has further enhanced my efficiency.
The intuitive interface and extensive filtering options make it a breeze to refine my search results. I rely on Cognism daily to identify potential leads and build strong relationships. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While Cognism has been a reliable tool for finding accurate contact information, I've encountered a few instances where the details were slightly off. However, these occurrences have been minimal, and I've usually been able to quickly correct the information using other search results within the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I really appreciate Cognism for its user-friendly interface, which makes it easy to navigate and utilize its features effectively. The platform provides highly accurate contact information, which is crucial for effective prospecting and lead generation. Additionally, Cognism integrates seamlessly with our CRM, simplifying the process of exporting data and managing customer interactions. Overall, Cognism has proven to be a reliable and efficient tool for our sales intelligence needs, and I would highly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Occasionally the data provided in inaccurate with false numbers. Although this is only a very small percentage of data gathered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love its usability and the quality of the data provided. One of my favorite features is the Contact Data Quality filter. It allows you to choose between emails or phone numbers based on your needs, which makes it easy to refine your searches and quickly get the most relevant contacts.
The platform itself is very intuitive and easy to use, so getting started doesn’t take long—even if you’re new to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only downside is the limitation on saving contacts into lists. It can be a bit restrictive, especially if you're working with larger sets of data or need to organize multiple lists. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Accuracy of numbers. Usually about 90% of the numbers input in the platform are accurate. This has saved me so much time in prospecting customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Continuous upsells. Initially you get access to the platform for around €4-5k, depending on your negotiation skills. Then while you browse, things are alright & good/easy to use. But if you want to start exporting information, which you've already paid for a ton, into lists, then push these lists to some mailing software, then you have to purchase additional export credits.
Terrible, as there are continuous hidden upsells in the platform. I paid €4.5k access, and if i want to export 1.5k contacts, I have to pay an additional €2k just to earn export credits. As ridiculous as it seems, that's the reality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cognism has made a huge difference in my prospecting process. The data is super accurate, and the platform is reliable—no bugs or crashes to slow me down, which has been a problem with other tools I’ve used. The extension works great, and the integration is slick. I’ve been able to find qualified prospects faster and book more meetings since switching to Cognism. It’s honestly the best tool I’ve used for B2B data. Cognism is a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I've not had any complaints so far. It's a great tool all around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cognism helps us break into the EMEA market. Other data sources had great US data, but the EMEA data was lacking. Our users were constantly telling us the info they're getting from the other platforms weren't helpful. Once we brought on Cognism, the data quality has been night and day. Ontop of all that, the tool is easy to admin-- you rarely get pulled into end user questions after setup. There support is quick, and integrations are easy. Overal can't recommend it enough. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There isn't much I dislike, it fits the purpose we brought it in for. All I can suggest is make sure the licensing model and max number of exports will work for your team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Cognism has been an absolute godsend. Over my six years in software sales, I’ve used countless data enrichment tools, but none come close to Cognism in terms of usability, intuitive workflows, data accuracy, and seamless integration. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Some data enrichment platforms offer the ability to create campaign sequences natively, eliminating the need for integration with external CRM systems. Perhaps this is a feature Cognism could consider incorporating into its platform. While its CRM integration is impressively seamless, the experience of managing everything natively within the same platform would be a game-changer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think Cognism is the most complete, complex, and user-friendly software there is, at this time, and I can say that as I have been using it daily for multiple hours/day for more than 4 months. The web extension is a really great feature, due to its accessibility and user-friendly interaction. It has a very complete database regarding leads, with a lot of verified contact details, along with a great way to better qualify your leads, and not waste time on low-quality ones. Our CSM is very prompt and easy to talk to. He is always there whenever we have a problem and always finds a solution to the problem. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would say the thing that I somewhat dislike are the cases in which the Chrome extension cannot get information details from some of the LinkedIn leads, especially from countries in Asia more specifically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
