Cognism vs. Neuron

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.

Its well suited If you find yourself manually placing contact details in CRMs or you're using multiple tools to find relevant and accurate contact details. Not so relevant if you already sheet of contact details and you can simply import it as a CSV in certain tools

Incentivized

• 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

Incentivized

• Creating/updating contacts in Salesforce
• Finding accurate email addresses
• UI is great. Easy to use

• 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

Incentivized

• Minimizing minor bugs
• Being able to export contacts for varying accounts to corresponding tabs in Google Drive
• Being able to prospect more than 25 at a time

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

Super easy to use, the only thing I wish they would change is that you always need to check the prospects linkedin page to see if there's been an update to their contact (eg. if contact didnt have a mobile number saved, they may now, so you need to check linkedin every single time before reaching out). Other than that, this is by far the best tool for pulling numbers and emails.

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

zoominfo has old contact info, a lot of the time i look at specific people and their companies aren't updated. I get intent emailed to me from zoominfo for job changes and it will be 6-12 months after someone changed jobs so the information is just not accurate enough. apollo only pulls headquarters info, never had an accurate cell number from it so i stopped using it pretty quickly during our eval

• The bounce rate is lower now by 50%
• The lead quality is improved by 20%
• We need all in one platform so we dont have to navigate between bundle of tools

Incentivized

• I prefer using it from the SalesNav page compared to Zoominfo - seems way more up to date
• Allows me to massively scale my prospecting by keeping me in page and I don't have to look up and cross reference on other tools
• While it has a smaller set of functionality that I can use it for relative to Zoominfo, the things that it does do I've always felt it did a better job
• Really simple UI and doesn't prompt me to sign in every day which I appreciate.
