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.

Outbound saves a lot of time finding ideal clients with their business emails that are truly verified. It also allows me to send email campaigns with automated follow-ups without needing a marketing platform so it is far more acceptable for those who receive my emails and I get much better responses and conversion rates.

  • 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

Cognism

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
