"Impressed with technology"
4/5
What do you like best about Bombora Company Surge®?

Very impressed with the intent technology. It does its job of picking-up "noise" from organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bombora Company Surge®?

Do your homework, be specific in your intent tags/topics. If too broad of a term, you'll get data that you cannot use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Intent Data for Marketing & Sales!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Bombora Company Surge®?

What do you dislike about Bombora Company Surge®?

No real dislikes - it took us a while to find the best threshold (Average Score) to give us a steady amount of companies to provide to sales for outbound. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Valuable sales and marketing insight"
4/5
What do you like best about Bombora Company Surge®?

Bombora data is, simply put, very cool. It data has enriched our sales & marketing processes in a variety of ways. On the marketing side, we have centralized Bombora data alongside our first party content data and are able to segment companies and contacts into highly relevant campaigns. On the sales side, we have centralized Bombora data and created robust processes for SDR & sales teams to action it. It has given our marketing team a ton of insight that is valuable to the business, increasing our clout, and helped us to align messaging, outreach, and prioritization across teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bombora Company Surge®?

The data has on occasion failed to refresh and sync with our CRM integration. Because the data is so embedded in our processes, this causes issues and delays within various teams and extra work for us to reset workflows & dashboards. This is ultimately a pro - we love the data too much to miss out on it! However, it is something that I trust is being addressed to ensure we can rely on it across the business.

"Truly amazing !!! Almost instantly find accounts in your CRM that are showing intent to shop / churn"
5/5
What do you like best about Bombora Company Surge®?

This is built with Salesforce nuts and bolts so it comes ready to roll out of the box. Their CSM's, Implementation Team, Sales crew and others "get it" they know the challenges we are facing and have done the homework-- I am truly impressed every time I have a call, Zoom, or email how fast the question is answered and with an educated reply. It is Lightning ready and if your teams know Salesforce--> they will learn Bombora fast!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bombora Company Surge®?

This is not a dislike -- this is my impatience ok- I wish we could get more than 2 updates a week-- but this is not an issue at all. I am just the guy who also hits "refresh" during the elections every 2 minutes. I can't think of anything I "dislike". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Intent Insights"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Bombora Company Surge®?

The data available is very good and helps both our marketing and sales teams prioritize which accounts to go after. The platform itself is pretty easy to use and bringing the data into HubSpot through the integration is a big help.

The ability to see the topics that prospects are researching plays a big role in the messaging used by both marketing and sales. With the integration with HubSpot, you can set up workflows that automatically pull in contacts from surging companies and put them into a workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bombora Company Surge®?

With Bombora, you don't get contact level data. However, I know this isn't really possible since they get their data from across all different platforms, unlike how TechTarget owns their own network of sites that requires users to register an account in order to access their content.

"Strong Intent data tool for our Sales Team"
3/5
What do you like best about Bombora Company Surge®?

The upsides of using Bombora are the surging topics it provides to our Sales team. Sales is able to facilitate and hone in on these topics the accounts are surging on during their conversations. This helps both for prospecting but also upselling/cross-selling current customers with other product SKUs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bombora Company Surge®?

While Bombora now integrates with Sales Engagement tools such as Outreach, the integration needs to be stronger to show us specific reporting on the tasks that are created. Most of our reps live within Outreach and not being able to filter by these tasks that are created slows them down in terms of being able to proactively reach out to these surging companies.

"Love the insights and how we can truly be data oriented about our decisions"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Bombora Company Surge®?

The breadth of search terms. We can see so many different areas of focus that orgs could surge on. The ability to cluster those in groups or segments is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Bombora Company Surge®?

Some terms that we use or are very specific to our TAM are not available or don't exist. I also truly believe that you have to have multiple sources of intent data to ensure that these search terms aren't just people educating themselves on a topic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
