Cognism vs. Scratchpad

In terms of giving "upfront" info about the data, Cognism is well suited. I've used Lusha and LeadIQ in the past, and they don't give insights on DNC as Cognism does. They also don't give a headsup on whether the phone number is direct, mobile, or office and the only way to find that out is through calling those phone numbers directly.

Frankly, if I can do something in Scratchpad instead of Salesforce, I prefer Scratchpad because it's faster, easier, simpler, with a much more readable and useable interface. Salesforce has been getting requests to allow font size modification for over a decade and hasn't even done that. That's what sent me looking for something like Scratchpad. I sort of view it as a much more user-friendly UI to layover SF. It's faster and less frustrating than SF for frequent daily activities. It's great for creating notes and tracking tasks at a basic level in a much more user friendly environment than Salesforce. But it interacts w/ SF, which is great!

• 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

• Scratchpad notes are super easy to use and link to Salesforce Opportunities.
• Allows you to update all the necessary Salesforce opportunity fields without going into Salesforce.
• Easy to use Task manager that helps you stay on track through the day.
• Extremely easy to use and their CS team is always willing to provide training and help.

Incentivized

• Data are not 100% accurate, which is normal for every data enrichment tool. But at least we could flag it to them so they could improve it.
• Sometimes, I'm having problems exporting info into SFDC.
• Wish I could also export the contacts directly to Outreach.

Incentivized

• When pulling in Salesforce reports, it doesn't have full ability to do grouping/sorting.
• When looking at pipeline view there's not an ability to expand the default view to see more than 5 people per group.
• It'd be nice if comments would go as a task rather than a buzz.

It doesn't. Scratchpad is more agile and much easier to use as a seller managing a large patch with lots of opportunities. SAP is robust but is far more complicated and involves a lot more inputs to get the same outputs that you can get with Scratchpad in half the time and effort.

Incentivized

• We were able to reach prospective customers through phone or email
• We save time not dialing office numbers, because Cognism gives us a heads up on that
• We don't annoy prospects who don't want unsolicited phone calls, since Cognism advise us if the number is in DNC

Incentivized

• I save many hours a week using Scratchpad to simply manage my tasks.
• I no longer waste time waiting for SFDC to load.
• I can easily create opps, adjust the pipeline, and check to see if someone is already prospecting into an account.
