Chose Bombora
They are different platforms, we actually think they both work in unison, as Bombora does not provide as much granular information on the company and who is actually searching, however, they provide a stronger initial overview of user intent than other products and a holistic …
Albacross is more specific to anon user identification on our personal site, which is exact product buying intent rather than just industry. Bombora give broader insight, albacross more specified.
On a par, we use all three of these either currently or in the past Each tool has its benefits it would be good for the tools to co-exist and learn to further the improvement Bombora is the current go to and continues to deliver - that said the marketplace is competitive, so we …
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.
Bombora doesn't give you a token for the number of accounts that are populated. You can search and request as many as you'd like. With other platforms, they provide you a token, and if you use all your tokens for the month, then you have to wait til next month.
Bombora has a far lower expense for the service, despite the quality of data. It is a big enough gap to be a major factor in deciding which product to use, for still excellent quality data in comparison to Clearbit. It is also much easier to integrate with our services.
While we use both TechTarget and Bombora at our company, Bombora provides a better high level view for our Marketing department to use for our various programs and initiatives. On the other hand, TechTarget is a better tool for Sales to easily identify prospects with high …
If Bombora is the fuel for the engine (the data), then 6sense and Qualified are the airplanes. We were looking for more data/fuel to throw on our revenue generating engine and didn't need a full suite of features to automate our outreach for us. We are a small company and …
Bombora provides the best B2B targeting solutions for paid media relative to competitors. Madison Logic is a great B2B provider for brands looking to get content (e.g. case studies, white papers, eBooks, etc.) distributed and syndicated to a broader B2B audience. Bombora …
Bombora is still the best intent data provider but ZoomInfo is catching up very quick. ZoomInfo has a leg up on Bombora as they now have steaming intent data which updates daily, vs Bombora that only updates weekly. ZoomInfo is a one stop shop for B2B GTM data where Bombora is …

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.
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 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.

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.
