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.

It is a really good solution when it comes to insights on companies where you want to place your products because it tells you all the information where you can attach the use of your solution, the only thing is that it needs more information on mid-market.

  • 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

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

Alternatives Considered
Cognism
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

We utilize both for the most accurate information in terms of employee count of company, location of headquarters address, validity of what current technology that may be using today. Also cross reference this information with LinkedIn and other sites to get the best info possible to determine rules of engagement for reps.
