My sales manager is always asking me to expand my existing customer base and Cognism allows me to do it. I vary my conversation depending on their job role and show how else my business can add value. > > **Cons**: On the very rare occasion, the contact email or number is not quite right. I appreciate people may leave their business and it takes time to update the details. > > Very positive and I know my colleagues say the same- I use Cognism daily to support me in my day to day activities. ----- ### "Quality and accuracy of data" — 5.0/5 > **Melissa** | *22 April 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The quality and accuracy of the data is what stands out most for me. Knowing the information is reliable saves me time, improves my confidence when reaching out, and helps me focus on having better conversations instead of questioning the data > > **Cons**: At first, the platform looked a bit overwhelming and not very easy to pick up on my own. Thankfully, my Account Manager called me and took the time to explain how everything worked. Their guidance made the learning process much easier, and after that, I found the platform straightforward and enjoyable to use > > I’ve had a great experience using the platform and haven’t encountered any issues. Everything has worked reliably, which has made it easy to use on a day‑to‑day basis ----- ### "Misleading renewal and lacking credit card control on the backend." — 1.0/5 > **Derek** | *26 September 2025* | Package/Freight Delivery | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: The technology works. The connection to the CRM works great. The quality of the data is good 50% of the time. > > **Cons**: We changed our sales model and were not able to leave. Cognism's backend does not give uses the control of their account, which credit cards to use, or executing renewals. Therefore, we had changed our sales model, and they notified me I could not cancel our subscription and we were auto renewed and notified via an email from our rep that went to the spam filter. They need to be transparent with their contacting and renewal process. in 2025, SaaS platforms need to give Admins the ability to renew on the platform and control payment methods. > > The technology works mostly. The integrations work. The customer success team is only interested in profit and loss and not the success of the clients. Their renewal and backend payment processes is misleading and purposeful to keep clients with the platform. Therefore I can't recommend them until they give the payment and renewal control to the admin. This is standard in 2025. ----- ### "Excellent B2B data accuracy and smooth list enrichment" — 5.0/5 > **Yeray** | *16 June 2026* | International Trade & Development | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cognism is a powerhouse for B2B lead generation and database enrichment. The coverage of contact details and direct-dial numbers is outstanding, especially for European markets. The learning curve is very gentle, meaning our team got up to speed almost instantly. Furthermore, their strict GDPR compliance gives us absolute peace of mind regarding data security. > > **Cons**: The only minor downside is that bulk exporting large datasets can occasionally take a bit of time to process. Additionally, credits can run out quickly if you are doing extensive list enrichment, but given the high accuracy of the data, the investment is well worth it. > > Our overall experience has been excellent. It integrates smoothly with our CRM and data workflows, allowing us to validate and clean lead lists in minutes. The onboarding support was first-class, and it has saved our teams hours of manual verification work, delivering fantastic value for money. ----- ### "Very Useful System" — 5.0/5 > **Thomas** | *24 February 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Cognism allows our commercial team to dramatically speed up the process of connecting with the prospects most important to us. The UI is clean and efficient, and the available API connection allows me even further efficiencies via agents I create. Quality of emails is high, and my experience with their team has been brilliant. Overall very happy with Cognism. > > **Cons**: Nothing really. Cognism provides me and my team everything we need to be successful. We have our ideal prospects, and Cognism allows us to connect with them. ----- Page: 1 / 12\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/169083/cognism?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/169083/cognism) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
