I really like how easily I can find new prospects and organize my accounts and lists with Cognism. It's also very easy to set up, which was a big plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cognism? Sometimes the prospect data is incorrect, like email address or company associated.

Sales Development Representative | Enterprise LATAM Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 2/8/2026 "Verified Insights, Great for LATAM, Needs More Data" 5/5 What do you like best about Cognism? I like using Cognism to look up prospect info because it provides great data for my LATAM territory. I appreciate the ability to rate the quality of the data and having verified contact info when available is really helpful. Another great feature is that Cognism links me to the Salesforce record if they're in our CRM already. Also, there was guidance available during the setup process, which was beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cognism? Sometimes data sucks too with Cognism. I've found inaccuracies and not enough info for smaller LATAM countries. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Cognism to look up prospect info, and it solves the problem of finding accurate contact data when other platforms fail, especially in my LATAM territory.

I appreciate the solid support from Cognism; the team is transparent and honest. The platform is user-friendly, easy to configure, and provides good data coverage for our EMEA regions. It's very easy to set up, essentially plug and play. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cognism? I find that Cognism could offer more functionality in terms of workflows and better company data. The company data mostly comes from free sources and isn't as transparent as the contact data, with figures for headcount and revenue often being widely inflated. They also don't have individual site data. I would like to see automated workflows regarding adoption and usage so that I am not constantly seeking reports. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you? I use Cognism for prospecting and data projects, improving data coverage in EMEA, and providing BDRs with an easy solution.

Junior Sales Executive 12/17/2025 "User-friendly Tool for Effective Lead Generation" 5/5 What do you like best about Cognism? I like that Cognism is so user-friendly and that the data I need is almost always accurate. The feature within LinkedIn where I have the right person and contact details directly with me works particularly well. I use LinkedIn to find new leads, and Cognism makes it easy to import leads into my CRM system by providing the correct contact details directly. The initial installation of Cognism was also very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cognism? Filter on the Cognism website itself. Sometimes it happens that there are very few or no results, especially when I want to print out a large list to start a sequence and the right or enough results do not appear. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you? Cognism helps me find the right contact details of prospects, which makes my outreach more successful. I appreciate the user-friendliness and the accuracy of the data.

PR Philemon R. 12/16/2025 "Intuitive and Effective, Yet Needs Data Accuracy Improvement" 5/5 What do you like best about Cognism? I like using Cognism to get phone numbers and how easy it is to use overall. The UX and UI are very well designed, making the tool simple to handle. It’s straightforward without an overload of features, which I appreciate. The colors are appealing and the interface is pleasant to look at. The initial setup was also very easy—I didn’t need any training, I just connected and quickly understood how everything worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cognism? Sometimes the phone numbers and email addresses are incorrect, even when the same format is used across an entire company. The data quality could be improved, or at least updated more quickly. One feature I’d like to see is better automation on LinkedIn—for example, a way to automatically export profiles. When a lead list spans 20 pages, it can be very time-consuming, so having an instant or automated export would be a big improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Cognism solving and how is that benefiting you? I find Cognism makes it easy to obtain phone numbers thanks to its clear, intuitive UX and UI. It’s simple to use, which I really appreciate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Sales Analyst Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 1/23/2026 "EMEA's Top Choice for Verified Contacts" 5/5 What do you like best about Cognism? I use Cognism for business development, and it really helps me find contact info without any stress. I appreciate the user verified contact info because it ensures that the email isn't just pulled from the domain format but is actually correct. I can easily upload lead lists to other software I use. I also like using Cognism directly with Salesforce to keep my data in order. We switched from Zoominfo to Cognism as it's better in EMEA. I'd rate Cognism 10/10 because I can't get a better one in EMEA. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cognism?

Marketing Manager South Europe Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 9/26/2025 "The Prospect Tool you would most appreciate: easy, intuitive, complete" 4/5 What do you like best about Cognism? This platform is very easy to use and highly intuitive. I can conduct detailed research within minutes, and it conveniently generates data lists in CSV format. I also appreciate its integration with the CRM, specifically Salesforce, which allows me to exclude existing customers from the data. The customer support team is very accessible and was able to help me resolve login issues within just a few hours. I use it twice a week. I was easily onboarded with 1 hour training. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Cognism? I believe there needs to be greater clarity and more tools regarding data usage. Although they state that they are GDPR compliant, they do not offer any clear, GDPR-friendly methods for reaching customers. It would be helpful if they provided a third-party data agreement for specific contacts. Additionally, I find that the drop-down menu in the prospector can be somewhat challenging to navigate at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
