    Cognism
    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.

    In customer prospecting through cold contact, "cold mailing" is a very cost-effective practice and is widely used in the U.S. market, particularly for selling saas software and high-cost business services. (In my case it is used for selling insurance policies). We generally find several saas (i.e., monthly paid) email contact generation software on the market, generally found on linkedin and freely accessible. But this is not enough, you need software for sending emails (additional cost) and it must be specific to cold mailing otherwise you end up in spam. And you need a CRM, not all cold mailing software has that! Additional cost is for paid email verification and you have to waste time uploading and downloading the excel files to be verified and derived from the verification... then adapt them to the cold mailing software... A yes, not all cold mailing software has email warmers and many do not warm all types of emails (instead Sales.Rocks warmed because of my emails from an unknown hosting that no system warmed...). But if you had one software that does everything in one platform without driving you crazy switching between them, especially if you have large volumes of emailing and with the ability to track everything, create email sequences based on funnel-like behaviors, schedule phone calls or maybe an initial linkedin message from your Sales.Rocks linked account ... well, Sales.Rocks is all of that, and with support that lets you know how serious the company is. It's an expensive product for a freelancer like me, but it's unique, and for a structured company it's simply beneficial and has a huge return.

    Pros
    Cognism
    • 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
    Cognism
    • 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
    Cognism
    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

    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

    Saleshandy, Hexospark, Getmails, Postaga. Mature product like Saleshandy, constantly updated for further improvements like Saleshandy and Hexospark. Sales.Rocks is the opposite of Getmails: the former has a myriad of features and a dashboard that gives you control like a NASA technician! But that is not why it is difficult to use. Getmails is super simple, wants to do everything automatically saving time for nerds like me who get curious and waste time trying every menu.
