"Streamlines Prospecting, Needs Regional Data Improvement"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Cognism?

I like how Cognism helps me find numbers easily, especially when I have LinkedIn open on the side, and it shows me the number for a specific person. This is what typically makes it easy for me to use. It allows me to smoothly reach out to prospects by viewing their name, background, email, and number all together. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

I work in the Middle Eastern region. Cognism's data for the Middle East is very fragmented, and it's not accurate. From my experience, many government entities do not have numbers or emails at all on Cognism. The initial setup was fairly easy, but it took some time to understand the system and learn the best practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Comprehensive Data Solution for EMEA Markets"
5/5
What do you like best about Cognism?

I use Cognism to find phone numbers and emails of event planners within Europe, and it solves several problems for me, like helping find the company email structure and company contact details. I appreciate the easy export onto my CRM system. What I like most is the extensive, true data on people I sell to. The initial setup was very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

I wish I was able to create a contact list on Cognism that my colleagues couldn't see. I have my own log-in details as per license. I should be able to save lists of contacts on the system that when my colleagues log-in on their side should not be able to view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Accurate EMEA Data and Efficient Prospecting, But Room for Improvement"
3/5
What do you like best about Cognism?

What I like best about Cognism is how reliable and accurate the contact data is, especially for EMEA markets. The platform makes it easy to find verified phone numbers and emails, and the intent data helps our team prioritize leads more effectively. The Chrome Extension also saves a lot of time when prospecting directly from LinkedIn. Overall, it’s a powerful tool for improving pipeline quality and outbound efficiency. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

Occasionally, some of the contact data can be outdated or missing for niche industries or smaller regions, but this is quite rare. The Cognism team is proactive about improving coverage and regularly updates their database, which helps mitigate this over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Efficient Lead Management, Needs Better Integration"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Cognism?

I like the filters that Cognism uses, such as regional headquarters and geographical location, which help me get the list of contacts effectively. It's very easy to export this list to Salesforce or any other CRM platform, and I really appreciate the integration capabilities it offers. It's quite user-friendly to use, so I had no problems with setting up and finding out how to access the data or information I needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Cognism?

I think Cognism could improve by making the integration capabilities more efficient, especially when integrating multiple capabilities. Also, I'm only able to select 25 contacts per page, which is limiting. It would be more efficient if I could select more contacts at once. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
