Cognism vs. TechTarget Priority Engine

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.

TechTarget would notify us when prospects looked us up by name or specifically researched areas where our product would prove beneficial. It did a great job gauging legitimate interest from the prospect and gave an idea of a timeline as well so that we could understand their urgency.

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

• Contact Info is pretty good. I've occasionally found better data than I can get from our chosen lead solution.
• I don't know of another alternative source, but TechTarget provides data on content that people are researching.
• TechTarget provides current tech stack for companies that I'm researching.

Incentivized

• 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

• It is not particularly intuitive
• Too many steps to get where I need to go
• Needs to provide more depth to help determine urgency and intent to buy
• Response rate from contacting leads based on search behaviors was almost nil. This may be partially due to messaging on our end.

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

Usability is great, we would love to see how strong the intent is for every keywords

I'm just a business user of TechTarget so I really haven't had the chance to gauge what the support is from a customer standpoint. Given that we recently rolled it out and everyone is utilizing it daily I would assume that their support is strong enough for us to continues to use it.

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

TechTargets Priority Engine's interface and customizable features were easier to use and better organized than ZoomInfo's. I like the custom alerts that TechTarget provided, and I'm not sure ZoomInfo had the same feature. I would get email alerts any time a target customer read a white paper or downloaded a brochure, which made my timing for prospecting much easier. I do believe ZoomInfo's company directories are more robust and wide-spread

• 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

• It is best when used in conjunction with all of our other tooling and not used alone
• It has enabled my team to have a better feel for what is happening at a prospect's company
• It sometimes consumes too many hours in the day waiting on data to load, and time is wasted toggling between pages
