BombBomb and Vidyard are both video marketing software options that allow marketers to create personalized, interactive video content. BombBomb is most popular with small businesses, while Vidyard is used most often by mid-sized organizations.
Features
Though BombBomb and Vidyard both include essential video marketing features, such as custom branding and annotations, they also have a few standout gestures that set them apart from each other.
Vidyard provides detailed analytics for published videos, including real-time video data that helps to track engagement across multiple videos and provides insights on user behavior, geography, and device. Additionally, Vidyard provides hosting that includes a video hub users can visit to see all the videos a business has published. Reviewers also speak highly of Vidyard customer service for its fast response time and frequent progress updates. Lastly, Vidyard integrates with many Google applications, such as Gmail, and has a Google Chrome extension for creating videos on the fly.
BombBomb provides marketing features such as live notifications when videos are clicked so that businesses can better predict who they should follow up with. Additionally, BombBomb allows for scheduled email campaigns, so users can set up when they want their videos to go out, and then let the tool take care of the rest. Lastly, BombBomb provides integrations with all popular email services and provides a simple to use interface for new users.
Limitations
Though BombBomb and Vidyard both have powerful Video Marketing Capabilities, they also have a few limitations that are important to consider.
Vidyard provides good features for branding videos but is limited when it comes to video editing, so businesses looking for a single app to use for editing may need to consider other options. Additionally, while Vidyards front-end is simple to use for the end-user, new users may struggle with the interface for uploading videos and performing analytics. Lastly, the hosting pages that Vidyard provides have limited customization options, so many users may prefer to embed Vidyard content on their own sites.
BombBomb provides a Google Chrome extension, but some users find it cumbersome to use, to the point that they prefer to just use the application without the extension. Additionally, BombBomb has few native integrations, with most being handled by Zapier, this could be a problem if an integration your business would like isn’t supported.
Pricing
Vidyard offers a free pricing tier for users that only need 5 videos at a time. This package is using for users that want to try out Vidyard before committing to a more expensive package. The Pro package costs $15.00 per month and includes unlimited video uploads, though only 20 can be embedded at once. The Starter package costs $150.00 per month and includes video analytics, social media syncing, and a more customizable video player. The Plus package costs $850.00 per month and includes A/B testing for thumbnails, SEO features, and advanced analytics. Vidyard also offers custom pricing for enterprises that have unique needs not included in the other packages.
BombBomb starts at $29.99 per month and includes simple video emailing features. The Plus package, billed at $588.00 per year includes user tracking features, as well as 3500 contacts with unlimited video emails.

Video Engagement

BombBomb has helped a lot in our Sales department. Our emails to prospective customers stand out and having the ability to make a personalized video to the person we're trying to establish a relationship with gives us that extra touch.
In my industry, there really isn't a time that I feel would be inappropriate to use the tool. I feel it's most useful to an audience that you haven't connected with yet, however. I think your content is what can get you into trouble. A friend of mine was blocked from a decent amount of prospects after sending a video promoting a happy hour.
Upload your databases to BombBomb to send single email blasts or campaigns.
Upload your videos to BombBomb or use their software to record videos. Either way, the BombBomb system makes sending video emails easy!
The "Individual Plus" or any higher priced subscriptions to BombBomb software include forms and automation for lead generation and automation of campaigns.
The mobile app for iOS and Android is very useful for sending and responding to BombBomb emails!
It has been an integral part of both our employees and customers experience. I would highly recommend VidYard to anyone looking for new ways to make their support interactions more personable and efficient. Not only that, but is a huge value add for existing customers of the HubSpot product as well.
As said before, the usability is very straightforward and the customization options are good enough to get the job done. There is a mobile app to help with real-time engagement so that is useful too. They offer plenty of training and best practices to make sure you are getting the most out of BombBomb.
Vidyard does what it is supposed to do, but it takes regular use and adoption to really get any benefit. It is much more beneficial as a 1:1 personal sales video tool than in mass marketing email blast campaigns. The analytics are insightful and the tool has some cool ways to make videos more interactive and branded.
Absolutely, the unpredictable nature of technology always keeps us on our toes. However, I'm pleased to share that my experience with Vidyard has been remarkably consistent and reassuring. To date, I haven't encountered any instances of service outages. This unparalleled reliability and dependability have instilled a high level of confidence in the platform, making it a stalwart companion in our digital endeavors. While the tech landscape can be uncertain, Vidyard's track record of steadfast performance has truly set it apart.
Overall it's very easy to use and the video emails stand out. Everything loads quickly and they make it easy to set up. It features CRM-like functionality to view opens, clicks, time watched, etc., but it doesn't port that info over to your existing CRM which is where some of the friction occurs. Still, it's amazing for what it does. I recommend giving it a try for our outreach.
It performs very well. I have never had any bugs while recording, and none of the videos have been impaired or corrupted. I don't believe it integrates with any other software but you could contact the company to learn more. I am not sure if it is only available on Chrome.
A few times over the years I have asked for features to be added to BombBomb and I am amazed at how fast they can implement. Zapier integration is a perfect example. They implemented the connection to Zapier within 30 days of my feature request. It took a much larger company, Keller Williams Realty over 10 years to implement the same request.
Customer support at Vidyard has always been good. When I first looked into the product, the salesperson took a consultative approach that allowed me to see how Vidyard would benefit our specific use case. Since coming on board, the customer service team has been quick to respond if I have any questions.
The training experience proved to be tremendously valuable. Our dedicated representative exhibited an exceptional level of helpfulness and patience as she skillfully addressed all of our inquiries. Notably, she went beyond merely answering questions, providing us with a wealth of resources and sharing best practices that are pivotal for our success in utilizing the software.Her guidance transcended the boundaries of a conventional training session, empowering us with insights that extend far beyond the immediate
The online training experience proved to be incredibly valuable. Our dedicated representative demonstrated exceptional patience and unwavering support in addressing our queries and requests, which greatly contributed to our learning process. Their guidance was pivotal in helping us navigate the intricacies of the training, ensuring that we absorbed the material effectively.
It's pretty straightforward. The bulk of the work goes on outside of Vidyard - it's the time required to add different videos to your website - that was probably the only difficult part and had nothing to do with Vidyard.
The office has been using BombBomb for a long time and has a lot of templates built. It would take a significant amount of time to convert over for our mass emailing purposes. On an individual level, we enjoy the video messaging option as that is not offered in all mass emailing services.
Vidyard seems to be the easiest to use especially for our sales teams. Our Customer Advocate and Implementation Teams do use CloudApp. It seems similar, but less applicable for sales. Vidyard has awesome Salesforce and HubSpot integrations!
The product exhibits an exceptional degree of scalability, accommodating diverse usage scenarios across various departments within our organization. This remarkable flexibility has enabled us to harness the software's potential in ways tailored to the unique needs of each team.In particular, the impact on our communication efforts with both potential and existing customers has been truly transformative.
Overall, I think BombBomb has given us a positive ROI on our email marketing efforts. I don't have numbers to support that claim, but it's more affordable and better positioned for what we needed to do than many other tools out in the marketplace. If you need to differentiate your email, the video component is a great way to go.
