Cognism vs. Seismic

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.

Seismic excels at being a one-stop shop for all content that is relevant to salespeople and the deal cycles they work through. It does a great job not only making content and training readily available but also at distributing the right content at the right time/for the right scenario. Based on my experience with the tool, this was a go-to for many reps (myself included) because it saved us so much time. Rather than sifting through documents and collateral, we could easily find what we needed in a matter of moments.

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

• Seismic allows for one location to store all relevant content so that associates are not having to spend as much time searching for what they need.
• Seismic provides the ability to fully customize content such that one template can serve many needs with the simple ability to answer questions that drive the customization in the content. This customization can range from simple to quite complex depending on your level of expertise with the tool.
• Seismic provides a lot of flexibility when it comes to organizing your content and how to make the experience of accessing that content unique to the needs of each user in the system.

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

• Adding more integration points and use cases with Salesforce would be good to have
• Navigating to a specific resource gets cumbersome sometimes especially with lots of content
• Bulk user operations and taking actions on behalf of other users would be good to have as well

Seismic's support team has been exceptional at providing support when an issue has come up, or when we have had questions regarding the platform. They have responded quickly, and I feel as if they truly try to find a solution to the quickest of their abilities. My team and I truly feel supported when it comes to reaching out to Seismic.

Savo, Google Drive, Shared folders Savo - was best in class a long time ago (and has since been bought by Seismic) - but required a lot of administrative work to setup and maintain. I had three people working on it full time to create pages and managing content. Shared folders and google drive are good to share content, but terrible at searching and tagging (not fully indexed and no tagging)

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

• We can quickly generate product-specific proposals.
• We've experienced repeated frustrations while trying to edit/update the LiveDoc.
• Errors in LiveDoc coding have occasionally produced errors in the generated proposals where certain fields (Customer Name, for example) should have been automatically completed but were not.
