If they want to use the data within the Bombora environment and generate reports within the environment, I think you get some great insights into what a company is researching. When you try to download the data and build your own reports, it is not easy to do. The download part is easy, it is the data wrangling afterward that is tricky.

Pros
  • Makes it easy to find company’s with high intent around our services.
  • Makes prospecting more effective by allowing us to focus on the right accounts.
  • Allows us to spend our marketing dollars on the accounts that are most likely to convert.

  • They give us a headsup if the phone number is direct, mobile, or HQ
  • They advise us if the email is verified - that reduces our bounce rate.
  • They also advise us if our prospect's number is in the DNC list

Cons
  • Analytics Reports - could be more automated and user-friendly. Instead of selecting all of the intent topics, it would be great to be able to use the previously defined intent clusters.
  • Industry categories - are very generic, making it difficult to identify the specific companies of interest.

  • Data are not 100% accurate, which is normal for every data enrichment tool. But at least we could flag it to them so they could improve it.
  • Sometimes, I'm having problems exporting info into SFDC.
  • Wish I could also export the contacts directly to Outreach.

Usability
I give Bombora an 8 as they do intent well for now. Not a 10 because again its a one trick pony where there are other platforms like ZoomInfo that offer intent as well plus so much more. From an end user perspective, I'd like Bombora to build out first party intent data capabilities to combine into the scoring.

Support Rating
Our CSM team is always available for us to meet with via an outreach click to book an invite and we have standing meetings. They met with us on day 1 of implementation and had us up and running that evening. They even go to the lengths of matching industry tenured folks with us to help us move faster.

There is a room for improvement in a layman's perspective as it was difficult for our to understand things during training and had to rearrange sessions.

Having a true understanding of WHERE the data comes from and how it is collected was a question no other intent data providers could give us a straight answer on. With Bombora, we know exactly where it comes from, how it's scored, and what our next step is to leverage the data.

Return on Investment
  • While ABM is always hard to specifically pinpoint a hard # against, I'd say that Bombora has been a big part of every marketing campaign, ad creation, go-to-market messaging towards x account, Refining Marketing & Sales intelligence from an ABM Function.

  • 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
