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.
Chose Bombora
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 …
Chose Bombora
Above average performance on a broader base of contacts
Chose Bombora
Enjoy Bombora a lot more than when we had Demandbase. DB seemed a lot clunkier, harder to use. Salespeople didn't trust the data as much.
Chose Bombora
One major factor that influenced to have Bombora apart from the quality of data is competitive pricing.
Chose Bombora
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.
Chose Bombora
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.
Chose Bombora
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.
Chose Bombora
I haven't compared them to other vendors, but I have heard of 6sense.
Chose Bombora
I haven't used any other, as Bombora has always remained the best in class in my experience.
Chose Bombora
6sense, G2 for Buyers, TechTarget Priority Engine, ZoomInfo SalesOS and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
Chose Bombora
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 …
Chose Bombora
I do not have a ton of experience with the other products but from the demos and calls I was on Bombora was the leading product in this area.

Additionally, the main deciding factor about choosing Bombora was their stellar sales team that prioritized our business needs over any …
Chose Bombora
Bombora is solid, but room for improvement
Chose Bombora
We saw more features with some competitors, but Bombora fits into our budget nicely and is a nice starting tool.
Chose Bombora
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 …
Chose Bombora
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 …
Chose 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.

Cons
No answers on this topic
  • 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.

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.

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.

  • 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.
