I appreciate Cognism for its effectiveness in providing accurate and reliable prospect contact information, especially when other tools fall short. I find it particularly good with mobile numbers, which is crucial for my work. While I use it alongside other platforms, Cognism often acts as the go-to solution when the primary tool, like ZoomInfo, does not have the right information or lacks any at all. I am also intrigued by the potential of exploring its intent data further, which might offer additional insights and enhance the overall utility of the platform.

I dislike that the email domains provided by Cognism can sometimes be inaccurate. This inconsistency can lead to inefficiencies and requires additional verification, which disrupts the workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Cognism for prospecting new business and appreciate that it ensures I'm speaking to the right person by providing different lines of phone numbers and emails. I also like the AI feature where it helps me make my own email by creating emails for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think some of the areas that could be improved is the accuracy of certain phone numbers or certain people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the Cognism chrome extension. My process for prospecting is that I have a group of named accounts and I need to target very senior finance professionals. I'll do research in LinkedIn Sales Navigator and Cognism shows me their email and mobile phone. Their quality of contact details is insane compared to other tools. Also they almost always have the email, and most of the time they also have the mobile phone number. In case they don't have the mobile, I can hit the 'diamond verify' button, and they will look for the phone number and send me an email once they have it. It makes my life so much easier and I'm able to connect with the right prospects immediately. Given that they are all executives whom are normally very difficult to reach, this makes it even more unique. I really appreciate their work and I'm using their tool every day. and will continue to use their service! I Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their UI of their online dashboard is quite complicated and it takes some time to get used to it. Once you are it works great, but for new users they need to keep in mind it will take some time to get familiar with the tool. On a positive note they did a team wide in person training were they trained our whole team on using the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the contact details in Cognism. They always seem to be the most up-to-date and relevant compared to other similar competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Intent data very vague and not specific to individuals Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Cognism is the quality and compliance of their data. It’s one of the few platforms that not only provides accurate, up-to-date contact information—including direct dials—but also ensures GDPR and CCPA compliance. That gives our teams confidence when prospecting in both Europe and the US. The platform is intuitive, and their intent data and enrichment tools also help us prioritize the right leads at the right time, which directly improves our outreach efficiency and conversion rates.

While Cognism offers strong data quality and compliance, one area that could be improved is the depth of data in certain regions or industries. Occasionally, we notice gaps—especially with niche markets or very recent contacts. Also, depending on the integration you're using (like with CRMs or outreach tools), there can sometimes be minor syncing issues or a learning curve. That said, their support team is responsive, and they’re constantly releasing updates, so these areas are improving over timeextension has problem Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate that Cognism is already integrated into my Google Chrome and directly with my CRM. This level of integration is extremely beneficial because it streamlines my workflow, making my life easier and my work faster. I no longer have to switch between different pages; everything I need is connected and integrated in one place, significantly enhancing my efficiency. The initial setup of Cognism was very easy and straightforward, taking only a second to complete, which made the onboarding experience smooth and hassle-free.

I've realized that sometimes I don't have the phone number or the email address of the person, and this can be an issue, although it happens just occasionally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Cognism extremely valuable for gathering prospect contact data where I might not normally be able to contact people. Its search functionality is outstanding, as it uncovers prospects who might remain hidden even when using tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator. This feature allows me to reach and contact people through their mobile phones, which is crucial given the challenges of contacting individuals via online numbers or through switchboards. I also appreciate the large amount of data that Cognism holds, which tilts the scale heavily in its favor for future purchasing considerations. Additionally, the time to get accustomed to the platform was pretty reasonable; it only took me about half an hour, thanks to guidance from a business developer. Overall, my experience has been positive enough to recommend Cognism highly, evidenced by my willingness to rate it a 10 on a recommendation scale. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are still a lot of personal mobile numbers in the database, which people are not happy about using. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, Cognism just makes prospecting feel easier. The data is solid (especially across EMEA), so you’re not wasting time chasing bad numbers or dead leads. It plugs straight into your CRM too, so it feels like a natural part of your day rather than another tool to manage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

f I’m being honest, it can feel a bit hit-and-miss at times. You still end up double-checking some contacts, and the intent signals don’t always translate into real buying conversations. It’s useful, but it’s not quite the silver bullet it sometimes gets positioned as. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Cognism incredibly beneficial as a prospecting tool. The ability to access a vast amount of data is a significant advantage, and the tool makes it easy to filter and identify our ideal customer profile, which I truly appreciate. What stands out to me is its ease of use and the strong deliverability rate of verified emails, making my tasks more efficient. Also, having verified numbers, often referred to as diamond data, is useful. The support from Cognism, along with the account managers, has been excellent. They've been helpful and readily available to assist in setting up processes and ensuring correct data usage. I especially like the extension tool, which is very handy when used on LinkedIn. The availability of mobile numbers is another crucial benefit as it directly addresses one of our main challenges in prospecting, and the overall functionalities offered by Cognism are quite handy.

I find it challenging that when saving lists in Cognism, there aren't enough filter options to effectively sort and filter out prospects. The existing system feels restrictive as it doesn't offer much flexibility, especially for filtering by geographical location or having access to a diverse range of filters. While it's possible to export data into Excel to add those filters externally, it would greatly enhance my workflow and efficiency if these capabilities were integrated within the platform itself.
