I looked at it only briefly. I guess one of the big differences between Cognition and Trails (they're trying to work together, though) is that Trails is domain-driven and Cognition is database-driven (it generates your model based on the database). Now, this was a while back when I looked at Cognition and that's what I gathered from my brief perusal. However, the tool support they have compared to Trails is very nice, IMHO. Tools aren't my main criteria, though. Ease of use outside of a tool counts big in my book (as others have mentioned on a different thread).
