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.

Undoubtedly this is the ideal software for the sales and marketing department, as it saves a lot of time in the search for customers and has tools that automate many processes that were previously manual. This is one of the programs we have worked with the best, that is why we recommend it.

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.
Read full review
  • Allows segmenting ideal customers by different categories, achieving a wide list of companies that meet the ideal customer requirements that we set. This list is provided automatically by the system.
  • The software also gives us valuable information about the profile of the companies to know them better when we approach them with a sales proposal; such as their objectives, key contacts, and more.
  • It has integrations for CRM such as Salesforce and automation for marketing campaigns such as Hubspot marketing hub and Oracle cx marketing.

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.

  • Lead quality isn't always the best - as with many databases of this nature. We have to expect that we'll have a high bounce and unsubscribe rate when using these leads.

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.

  • Positive - We've been able to append records and add them to our targeted marketing campaigns.
  • Negative - We've added some junk to our database, as a result, which has affected our deliverability rates.
  • Negative - We did get a complaint and inquiry from one particular record about sending them an unsolicited email.
