Bombora vs. Outbound

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.

Outbound is particularly strong at sending outreach campaigns to mine key accounts. You can gather multiple contacts, view LinkedIn profiles, the number of LinkedIn followers, easily search and filter for new contacts within their database.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Filters leads
• Tracks engagement rates
• Detects bounced emails

• 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.

• I did not experience anything to improve at the moment.
• Everything works well and perfect for me.

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.

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.

Liked the implementation, however there is a still room for improvement for the support needed in overall implementation

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.

Outbound is easy to use and gives better service and support.

Need improvement in places such as visualisation & UX

• 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.

• It saves a lot of time finding ideal clients with their business emails that are truly verified.
• Allows me to send email campaigns with automated follow-ups without needing a marketing platform.
