    For someone who uses both Gmail and Salesforce as part of their main role, this software is an invaluable connector for them both. Some of the features are also not Salesforce specific - such as the Meeting Scheduler, which has proved invaluable to me, and I would recommend to any Gmail user who frequently set up meetings (either internally or externally).

    Cognism works great for startups, scale-ups and large enterprises. It helps us close deals faster because we can very easily find the right people who can move our deal forward fast, and reach them directly instead of having to go through an HQ number/gatekeeper. It also saves us hours and hours on research we'd otherwise have to do manually.

    Pros
    Cirrus Insight
    • Log email to Salesforce. You click one button and it logs for you. This is easier than adding the BCC email address that Salesforce provides as a way to log email.
    • Track views and engagement on these emails. It's nice to know if the email was opened and if links were clicked.
    • Update quick fields in Salesforce directly from their inbox using Cirrus. This prevented reps from needing to click into Salesforce, wait for it to load, then update fields like the phone number or name.
    • If the rep did need to open Salesforce, Cirrus provides a quick button to navigate to the Lead/Contact/Opportunity page quickly.

    • They give us a headsup if the phone number is direct, mobile, or HQ
    • They advise us if the email is verified - that reduces our bounce rate.
    • They also advise us if our prospect's number is in the DNC list

    Cons
    Cirrus Insight
    • Outlook for Mac could use some work as an add-on because it's hard to read sometimes on my laptop. It's not a sidebar, like the Windows functionality, so it's harder to read.
    • Doesn't always find an opportunity, even though I know it's in our Salesforce system.
    • Randomly shuts down and doesn't log in properly at times. I've had to remove and re-download more than once.

    • The mobile number quality needs to improve as the connect rate is lower
    • It should also add sub industries to contract the list and find ICP
    • The AI assistant is not ideal

    Usability
    Cirrus Insight
    Very easy to use. Everything opens in a familiar interface right inside the google apps sidebar. It brings in salesforce records, so as long as you know google apps / gmail and salesforce you'll be all set. It's point and click.

    Cognism's UI is modern and sleek. While some functions like setting up sequences required a few more clicks than I think is necessary, every other feature is intuitive and easy to use. Everything is easy to find and users are able to quickly navigate to where they need to go for different use cases like research, email creation and sequence building

    The plugin is installed inside your internet browser as an extension/add-on. It can be found in most add on stores and is easy to install. Usually just a few clicks. It handles authorization for you once you sign in, and then takes care of all the rest. It couldn't be easier to get working right out of the box. You're up in running in less than 5 minutes.

    Yesware regularly sent me alerts that my emails had been opened by someone who I hadn't sent them to, from locations they couldn't possibly have been. I also don't recall its Salesforce activity logging working as smoothly, though I last used Yesware more than 12 months ago so my memory isn't as fresh as it could be

    Cognism is great as its positioned itself in the middle of the pack from a pricing perspective, as it provides quality data for campaigns. The lower and cheaper options do offer it at a fraction of the cost but that just means that data quality is lower. Cognism is the best allrounder
