Considered Both Products

Chose Cognism
Cognism is good in terms of email quality but fails in providing additional functionality of execution. Besided that the AI assistant fails miserably, that can be improved to provide and help sellers build leads list and maintain a pipeline. It should also recommend leads based …
Chose Cognism
Lusha works great in some countries in terms of numbers, but Cognism globally has way better data quality. Besides that, the list building and integration are way better and more advanced with Cognism. We've worked with both tools for years in loads of different countries and …
Chose Cognism
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 …

We recently switched from techtarget to 6sense and I like it a lot more when it comes to account intent and helping you prioritize / recommend actions to take
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
I was not the decision maker on why the company chose Tech Target. Personally, I could have used more training on how to get the most out of the platform, but I didn't know what I didn't know
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTarget has much more specific information. You can see actual names and titles of prospect engaging with content. This makes a cold call a little more warm.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TTPE is a more robust and complete tool for our requirements. Onboarding and ease of use is another area where it comes out on top.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
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 …
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TechTarget Priority Engine integrates well with Salesforce. I'm able to keep track of all the prospects and it gives me valid contact data.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
I didn't select TechTarget, but I do appreciate the content information that it provides.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
TTPE in my mind is a blend of the two. It has pretty accurate contact info, and also great at sending the reports that I mentioned. While demandbase uses a scoring system for targets, TechTarget Priority Engine just sends the name. so it's nice to check it against DB and get a …
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
They are different tools and don't directly compete.
Chose TechTarget Priority Engine
Each has its perks. Using them in conjunction with each other will deliver the best results. TechTarget Priority Engine gives info on items accounts are searching for and what is relevant to them today. It provides specific conversation tracks to create opportunities (current …

Its a good tool, the quality of data is good specially for emails. So its going to be a good addition in sales tool arsenal for sales teams. However, there are some areas that can be improved significantly like AI Assistant, Quality of mobile numbers. It is less appropriate if teams are looking to execute candeces as well

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.

Usability
Cognism does come with a learning curve, which makes sense because of all the functionalities it offers. In the beginning, it will take some time to get used to it. Also, for new employees, this counts. We had on onsite training provided by them, which was very helpful. Having a few experienced people in your team with Cognism already helps a lot. Once you know how to use it, it's very easy!

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.

Lusha works great in some countries in terms of numbers, but Cognism globally has way better data quality. Besides that, the list building and integration are way better and more advanced with Cognism. We've worked with both tools for years in loads of different countries and compared results; Cognism was definitely the winner for us.

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

Return on Investment
  • 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

  • I personally did not see a return on investment, but I believe others in the organization are having success with the platform
  • On a positive note, the insights into search behaviors and interest trends is great.
  • I recommend they develop better training for first time users specific to a variety of use cases
