    Considered Both Products
    BombBomb
    Chose BombBomb
    I primarily compared BombBomb vs these platforms. I ultimately decided to go with a very stripped down version of Yesware as it's tracking provided a few aspects BombBomb did not, but BombBomb's platform was the best versus the other main providers. I think it cost a little bit …

    Chose BombBomb
    I think a lot of these are similar in many ways. BombBomb stood out because of the moving GIF feature among other things, but the overall idea of using video to cut through the clutter is where the value prop has been for our business so far. Other options have better video …

    Chose Vidyard
    Loom is up to par, and I can't say much about that. BombBomb woefully underperformed. It was good and it worked, but it was slower and trickier to get it working and recording videos.

    Chose Vidyard
    First of all, Vidyard is generally easier to use. I found BombBomb to be more customizable, but that came with a cost of time. Plus Vidyard is more economical.

    Chose Vidyard
    I think this is better than BombBomb. There's no cost to Vidyard so that's a distinct advantage right there. You also don't have a limitation on the number of clients you can email. You can also use Vidyard beyond email. You can create a link which you can share to Linkedin or …

    Chose Vidyard

    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. The Plus with Prompt package costs $2000.00 per year with a $500.00 setup fee and is built with additional features targeted at the Real Estate Market.

    Vidyard has been critical for our team in many ways. One way that we didn't realize how much we'd be using it is for training new teammates while we're all working remotely. I frequently use the chrome extension to record a video of how to do something to send to our whole team or certain teammates. There are other products that do that, but this seems to be the most efficient, easiest, and quickest. Vidyard is incredibly useful for both inbound, and outbound sales and marketing strategies. It helps us increase our open and click rate for emails and overall engagement for our customer journey.

    Pros
    BombBomb
    • I like BombBomb's animated GIF preview of our video content. I think it's definitely more attention-grabbing than traditional email.
    • BombBomb's automation tools are simple and easy to use. You can program a series of emails to go out X number days following the previous one and at a certain point in time.
    • BombBomb's email builder is also pretty easy to use, once you get the hang of it. (If you've used other email tools, Constant Contact, MailChimp, etc. --- this one should be a snap.)

    Cons
    BombBomb
    • We've found it's better with existing relationships than as an outbound campaign.
    • Deliverability - We serve markets that might be a little more strict with regards to deliverability.
    • Chrome extension - it was awful and took up so much of the inbox that we've uninstalled it completely.

    • It would be great if the use of the camera on an internet screen were more user friendly.
    • The editing of a video's beginning or ending (cutting video for a cleaner look or time) could be a little more refined and less choppy.
    • Could be more colorful.

    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.

    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.

    • 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.
