Bombora vs. INFUSE

Bombora is the perfect tool for anyone looking to understand their B2B customer and their buyer's journey better. Companies produce tons of content - and pay lots of money creating and then amplifying it too. But is it really what the customer is interested in? Now you don't have to guess, you can know thanks to company surge data.

I've recommended INFUSEmedia to colleagues in the past, primarily in situations where teams are looking to generate lead volume and either struggling to achieve that volume or looking to diversify the partners and channels that they run with. Based on my own experience, I have typically recommended INFUSEmedia for B2B teams as the contexts that I have worked with INFUSEmedia have been for that sector of clients. I would be less likely to recommend for B2C clients as my understanding is not that INFUSEmedia would be a good fit for that type of strategy.

• Intent topics, as well as the clusters tied to them, have enabled our PMMs to be more granular with specific workloads that are based on industry.
• The "Account Intent" option within the "Insights" tab allowed us to look specifically into historical data tied to current activities that we were experiencing with that account.

Incentivized

• Service Level - Always ready to help and responds quickly to questions or ad hoc requests; Proactively reaches out for updates.
• Program Offers - Able to cater proposals to different client expectations.
• Lead Generation - Based on feedback from clients the leads generated are typically of quality and who they are looking for.

• Downloading intent data and trying to use it outside of their environment is tricky because the data is essentially one large worksheet. We want to overlay the data with our own data but joining it all together is tricky. Our data comes from D&B so the names provided by D&B don't always match what we get from Bombora so account matching is not very clean.
• Customer service is a bit hit or miss. I worked with an account rep to try and resolve it but she couldn't. However, she did open a ticket with the Bombora help desk to try and get me answers. I waited more than a week and got no answer. I followed up and the reply was the original owner of the ticket is out and the new ticket owner was wondering if I had rerun the report to see if the problem went away.
• Despite having a self-service type set up for the dashboards and reports, trying to understand what exactly needs to be filled in isn't always easy. The data doesn't match up with what we download so trying to compare the dashboards/reports to the extract is next to impossible?! It shouldn't be this way.

• If you can not integrate the leads into your CRM, they come over in batches and merging and distributing can be tricky.
• When we have used them to help drive registration for events, they get a lot of sign ups but, way more no shows than the industry average.

We are very satisfied with the services of Infuse Media. They are a high-level third party vendor.

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.

Very easy to use. The documentation to connect our tools is very well done.

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.

The team is cohesive and efficient. Everyone at INFUSEmedia is happy to help and support regardless of our account owner to resolve any new queries or issues that may arise. The communication is second to none and we don't have a long wait before we receive a response to last minute requests, which is imperative in the ever changing atmosphere of agency.

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

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.

We frequently change up our vendors and rotate through. Compared to BrightTALK we found INFUSEmedia delivered higher-quality leads and was easier to work with at a far better price. DemandScience and INFUSEmedia are fairly level when compared with each other

Need improvement in places such as visualisation & UX

• Bombora played a big role in us proving the effectiveness of ABM for our organization and had a huge impact on us gaining approval for a full ABM platform.
• Bombora helped us identify key target accounts that brought great net new business to our company.

• Because it's content syndication, it's fixed CPL so it's easy to forecast demand and return
• A lot of leads generated are raw so they don't usually get to pipeline stage until at least 2 quarters, it's a long game for us
• High quality job titles, however like any CS provider, need to double check the titles to ensure the job titles generated are correct
