Considered Both Products
Bombora
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 …

Chose Bombora
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 …

Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
We appreciate being able to incentivize reviews. We also appreciate TrustRadius' clean and clear interface.
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
G2 has been a great partner, but TrustRadius helps us target a different market. We may also use Gartner Peer Insights to generate reviews in the future.
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
TrustRadius provides a more in-depth look at our product offering with customer reviews, not just at the Corprorate profile level. ZoomInfo was disappointing around customer data completeness we experienced with them. We have not seen similar issues in our current activation of …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
I would say all these vendors are very alike and the portals are pretty much the same. The most important thing for our team is our lead generation from each of these vendors. TrustRadius is on the lower end of the spectrum when it comes to intent lead generation. The reviews …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
Compared to most other review platforms, this one seems more ethical in its review collection, approval, and overall product rating processes.
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
They have a similar module and similar service level. I do like the types of awards/badges that TrustRadius for Vendors gives out they are more fun.
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
Not as user friendly as G2 and the data/reporting is not as good.
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
Capterra is pay per click, TrustRadius is strong in the US market space.
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
We use all 3. Each have their own benefits, but our CSM is the most involved at TrustRadius compared to the other review sites.
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
Capterra and G2 for Buyers
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
We are also working with G2 and I consider the platforms complementing each other. With TrustRadius for Vendors we collect complex review content reflecting attribute ratings of our products, different use cases and deployments our clients experiment, reviewers sentiments. …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
Gartner Peer Insights, G2 for Buyers and Capterra
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
We use G2 and Gartner Peer Insights in addition to TrustRadius. These days, it seems like most companies have reviews on all three of these review sites. It's hard to choose just one vendor to focus reviews on as buyers tend to gravitate towards one review site over another so …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
TrustRadius is the peer site and team that has introduced new services and offerings to us — and not talking upsell here, but things we already get with our service and may not be taking advantage of. We have then often found ourselves asking the same of our other peer site …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
The offerings at TrustRadius for Vendors are right on par with the other similar services we use. What sets TrustRadius for Vendors apart is their customer service and ability to address out personal needs and provide strategic recommendations on how we can make the most out of …

While Gartner owns three sites in one, TrustRadius for Vendors is better at that longer content.

I was not part of the selection when I arrived. TrustRadius contract was already in place.
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
The only other review platform that we pay for is G2. TrustRadius for Vendors is very highly regarded in the space (if not the most highly regarded), and I would say it's equivalent to G2 on the capabilities and customer service side, aside from the fact that it garners higher …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
I prioritized TrustRadius over Gartner Peer Insights due to my emphasis on user-generated content and extensive reviews. I value community-driven insights, which TrustRadius offers through its platform, enabling a broader range of perspectives and experiences to guide …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
All platforms have their strengths and weaknesses, but TrustRadius for Vendors is pushing the envelope with their white glove service and willingness to bring issues and concerns to the relevant team or team members in support of growing their position as a review site and …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
We use all of these tools in tandem currently. We have had a lot of success with Capterra's PPC offering so far this year, and we also were able to run completely subsidized incentivized review campaigns where they funded the gift card rewards. G2 appears to have a larger …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
We choose to go with TrustRadius because you guys do all the campaigns for us, unlike Gartner Peer Insights, who make you do it yourself. Additionally, Gartner's interface is not that slick or obvious. I feel that TrustRadius and G2 are basically the same, but TrustRadius's …
Chose TrustRadius for Vendors
In evaluating alternatives to TrustRadius, we conducted thorough research on various review platforms, internal tools, and industry-specific resources. However, TrustRadius stood out as the preferred choice for several reasons. Considering the strong reputation, affordability, …

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.

The level of support we've gotten from TrustRadius is where it earns an 8. I do think the badges are too easy to earn and there are so many categories that they lose a bit of weight when everyone has them. It would also be very nice if there were more information regarding ratings & reviews and how they are weighted toward the overall rating.

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.

We definitely see the value in peer review platforms like TrustRadius. Being able to hear from our customers and partners and share that information across the organization is very important to WatchGuard. I really see working with TrustRadius as a partnership that has been beneficial for both organizations and is continuing to prove very successful

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.

It was easy to integrate, pull data and reports from, and really easy to customize the design to fit the branding of our site. I found it easy to show other team members how to use. Our whole team was able to get around the system to fit their different needs

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.

Many of our ongoing comms have been automated or moved to an office-hours model, so we don't get much support from our accounts team. In comparison, there are other review vendors we work with with whom we are much more likely to expand, given their ongoing support and the insights they share. Overall, I feel the customer support team should be more hands-on and strategic, as there could be opportunities to upsell and expand with customers who are being missed.

We are also working with G2 and I consider the platforms complementing each other. With TrustRadius for Vendors we collect complex review content reflecting attribute ratings of our products, different use cases and deployments our clients experiment, reviewers sentiments. Using quotes tagging and Chrome Extension feature we can map the most relevant reviews to the right audience, messaging or industry. The vendor portal has multiple selections available, for me it is very important to be able to check only with a click the number of ratings or the number of reviews for different date range or to check if my product is qualified for next awards.
