Summary and recommendation
Bombora, the B2B intent data platform serving marketing and sales teams, does not offer SCIM provisioning on any plan. While Bombora provides SAML SSO integration with major identity providers like Okta and Azure AD, this only handles authentication—not the automated provisioning and deprovisioning of user accounts. IT admins must manually create, modify, and remove user access to Bombora's data platform, which is particularly challenging given that marketing teams frequently need access to intent data for campaign planning and account-based marketing initiatives.
This creates a significant operational gap for enterprises using Bombora's services, especially considering the platform's high-value nature (contracts typically range from $25,000-$100,000+ annually) and the sensitive customer intelligence data it provides. Without automated user lifecycle management, organizations face compliance risks when employees change roles or leave the company, as stale accounts with access to competitive intelligence and prospect data may persist. The manual overhead also slows down onboarding for new marketing and sales operations team members who need immediate access to launch campaigns.
The strategic alternative
Bombora has no native SCIM. Automate offboarding, user access reviews, and license workflows across every app, including the ones without APIs. We maintain the integration layer underneath. You focus on judgment, not plumbing.

The cost of not automating
Without SCIM (or an alternative like Stitchflow), your IT team manages Bombora accounts manually. Here's what that costs:
The Bombora pricing problem
Bombora gates SCIM provisioning behind premium plans, forcing significant cost increases for basic user management.

Market data on Bombora costs
What this means in practice
Without SCIM provisioning, IT teams must manually manage user accounts for a platform that costs more than many companies' entire SaaS stack. For marketing and sales operations teams who need rapid access to intent data, this creates bottlenecks:
At $57,832 average annual cost, manual mistakes become expensive quickly.
Additional constraints
Summary of challenges
- Bombora does not provide native SCIM at any price tier
- Organizations must rely on third-party tools or manual provisioning
- Our research shows teams manually provisioning this app spend significant hidden costs annually
What Bombora actually offers for identity
SAML SSO (Enterprise only)
Bombora provides basic SAML 2.0 authentication for enterprise customers:
| Setting | Details |
|---|---|
| Protocol | SAML 2.0 |
| Supported IdPs | Okta, Entra ID, custom SAML providers |
| Configuration | Contact Bombora sales team |
| Documentation | None publicly available |
| User requirement | Manual account creation required |
Critical gap: Bombora provides no public documentation for SSO setup or capabilities. All identity management features require direct sales engagement.
Identity Provider Integration Status
| IdP | SSO Support | Provisioning | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Okta | ✓ SAML | ❌ None | Listed in Okta Integration Network |
| Entra ID | ✓ SAML | ❌ None | Basic SAML integration |
| Google Workspace | ❌ No | ❌ None | Not supported |
| OneLogin | ❌ No | ❌ None | Not supported |
What's Missing
No SCIM provisioning: Bombora offers no automated user lifecycle management. Every user addition, role change, or deactivation requires manual intervention through their platform.
Limited IdP support: Only Okta and Entra ID are documented, leaving Google Workspace and OneLogin users without federated authentication.
No public documentation: Unlike most enterprise SaaS platforms, Bombora provides no publicly available guides for identity integration, forcing IT teams to engage sales for basic technical information.
For B2B intent data teams paying $57,832/year on average, the lack of modern identity management creates operational overhead that scales poorly as marketing and sales teams grow.
What IT admins are saying
Bombora's lack of public documentation on identity management creates uncertainty for IT teams evaluating enterprise authentication options:
The absence of standard identity provider documentation means IT teams must engage in lengthy sales conversations just to understand basic SSO and provisioning capabilities - a barrier that delays evaluation and implementation timelines.
- No publicly available SCIM provisioning documentation
- Limited SSO implementation guidance without contacting sales
- Unclear authentication capabilities for enterprise buyers
- Opaque integration requirements for B2B intent data access
"Contact vendor for enterprise features" appears consistently across integration directories, indicating Bombora keeps authentication details behind their sales process rather than providing transparent documentation.
The recurring theme
Bombora treats identity management as a black box, forcing IT teams into sales discussions before they can assess whether the platform meets their authentication requirements.
The decision
| Your Situation | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Small marketing team (<10 users) on basic plan | Manual management is acceptable |
| Stable demand gen team with infrequent changes | Manual management with SAML SSO where available |
| Mid-size revenue operations team (20+ users) | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for scaling |
| Enterprise with compliance requirements | Use Stitchflow: automation essential for audit trail |
| Multi-team B2B organization using intent data | Use Stitchflow: automation strongly recommended |
The bottom line
Bombora provides valuable B2B intent data, but lacks any documented SCIM provisioning capabilities or clear SSO implementation guidance. For organizations that need automated user management across their sales and marketing tech stack, Stitchflow eliminates the manual overhead and vendor communication delays.
