Efficient workflows and real-time updates boost productivity
What I appreciate about Asana is the easy way to get the data we need for the reports because we are moving all our tickets. We are making a copy from our main ticket system to Asana because our main ticket system is not giving us what we are looking for, so we need to process everything in Asana. We get the dashboard and analytical reports, so we can have a summary of what has been done in which department we are working with or helping. We can see how many requests for each department we are having. The easy way to get all the analytics at the end of the month or year is the most important feature, and that's why we are still with Asana. The benefits I see with Asana are the main tools because of the integration this tool has. For example, we are making tickets but receiving requests through email, and we have the integration with Outlook and Google. We have the add-ins, so we are making the ticket on our main system while replying to the mail, and simultaneously taking this mail to complete our ticket for our Asana project. The time we are investing through departments with Asana is valuable because we are receiving requests or updates for projects without investing time in meetings or writing emails. Because of the integration we have, we just create a project and everyone with specific tasks moves on their tasks, and we receive the updates. We created a bot that gives us updates automatically. Asana provides automation because we receive these updates the moment they happen without anyone needing to tell us they completed tasks or moved on to others. Asana's cloud deployment has been beneficial for our remote or hybrid team operations. If someone is onsite and someone is working from home, everyone can work on the same project through automation. The person from home doesn't need to be on an infinite call with management or coworkers. They can work in real time, and once someone completes a prerequisite task from home, the people onsite will know it and get the green flag to continue their assigned tasks. It has benefits for anyone, including personal uses.

Works very well for opportunity management and sales forecasting for the automotive industry
I've had recent discussions with the leadership team at Campfire Interactive about several issues. They're fully aware of my displeasure with certain things. Some concerns are not related to the tool itself, although there are some aspects that could be better with the tool. The issues are more related to technical service, specifically when we have an issue or problem with the tool, the communication gap, and the follow-through on issues that need improvement. They're fully aware of that concern, and they're doing things to address it. From a technical standpoint, there are some limitations within the tool that are somewhat out of Campfire Interactive's control because it's a complicated industry to try and have one solution that fits all vendors. There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected. When that happens, we have to inform the Campfire Interactive IT or Support group what the failure is. They have to research and come back to us. In the meantime, we have 2, 4, 6, maybe 12 hours of downtime where people around the world are trying to use the system. Though it affects less than 50 people, these instances are frustrating.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Asana is the tracking of comments and documents in one place."
"By using this software, I have adaptability in my work, and it can improve the production of our company."
"The way it handles the task is good. The whole team needs to organize all our tasks using Asana. It helps to clarify and allows us to prioritize tasks effectively."
"It has helped our departments maintain visibility."
"I would recommend Asana to others."
"The general UI shows progress and data analytics for all projects in progress."
"My task box displays all of our tasks, organized by day, helping us to focus on what needs to be done each day."
"The most valuable feature of Asana is the ease of navigation."
"Enhancing our commercial strategy has been a significant advantage, resulting in millions of dollars in additional revenue that our sales team has been able to achieve through effective planning."
"I appreciate the dashboard features and widget features of Campfire Interactive because it has the ability to consolidate data in bar graphs or pie charts, making it very easy to visualize the situation with new opportunities."
"Campfire Interactive’s ability to manage data through business processes and workflows for your organization is good."
"I appreciate the flexibility of the company more than any specific software feature. I have worked with SAP and other software providers before, and since it is still a smaller company, there is a very personal exchange. If we have a simple need that does not require coding, the company is willing to make changes overnight or even within hours. They are truly flexible and customer-oriented."
"Campfire Interactive is much better in terms of the dashboard and reporting."
"It fixed an issue where we are able to get all of our information in one spot. We have 23 different manufacturing plants whose systems do not communicate with each other. Campfire Interactive allowed us to bring all of our data into one platform."
"When it comes to opportunity management and sales forecasting, I have recommended Campfire Interactive to at least 10 companies over my career, including some of the largest Tier 1 automotive customer suppliers in the world. Different companies have adopted different aspects of Campfire Interactive and have been happy with the solution."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Campfire Interactive is probably the forecasting module, the way it links to IHS for the IHS forecast."
 

Cons

"For large teams, scalability should be improved."
"Some customizations and functions are still not available, however, so far, they haven't been a deal killer."
"The inbox feature can be a little overwhelming if you are working with Asana just from its project boards and only checking it periodically."
"It would be great if Asana could create a library for each project within the interface."
"There just needs to be a bit more direction on how to use it at the outset."
"We'd like the capability to be able to set up weekly reminders."
"Having a quick way to do video inside the platform or video communication could be very handy."
"There could be some improvements in terms of how projects or day-to-day work is organized. One of the challenges when it comes to rolling out to an enterprise is the way the projects are organized. It has a kind of setup where you have different projects and tasks, but it is not as organized as Smartsheet when it comes to organizing projects or different teams. It can get really cluttered really fast. JIRA has another suite to submit the support tickets. It would be good if Asana could branch out to incorporate some kind of workflow. It is great for collaboration and recording work, but there isn't any workflow. It would be useful if they can map out a workflow of who approves what. This is kind of a big ask, and it is not geared towards that."
"Campfire Interactive lacks a built-in interface to manage shipment information, so we have to handle that outside the system."
"I can complete in Excel in an hour what might take me six hours in Campfire Interactive."
"From a technical standpoint, there are some limitations within the tool that are somewhat out of Campfire Interactive's control because it's a complicated industry to try and have one solution that fits all vendors. There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected."
"There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected."
"One aspect that could be simplified with Campfire Interactive is the process of entering opportunities into the portal. Currently, if we receive a quotation for 20 parts, we can enter one opportunity in our homegrown system that allows us to list all 20 parts within that single opportunity, but Campfire Interactive requires creating separate opportunities for each part."
"I recently discussed with them the need for better KPI measurements in the automotive world. A big KPI in the automotive world is the bookings of the future years, and we measure that not in annual revenue but in the lifetime of any given vehicle."
"We just went through that last month, where we had reported data to our board of directors and then came to find out that some parts of the data were incorrect, which is really frustrating."
"They occasionally became overwhelmed, leading to slowdowns due to the busy workforce."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has a free version."
"Asana has two different types of structures: company vs workspace. Company is really best if all the users you plan to assign work to are all internal (have the same corporate domain in their user ID email address). Once one person signs up (even for a free account) with a corporate email address, Asana will automatically relate that person to that company, if it already exists. If you plan to use it for external collaboration as well as internal, then creating a workspace is a better approach."
"We paid a monthly licensing fee for the product."
"This solution is reasonably priced."
"The price of this solution makes it quite accessible, and the plans fit my budget."
"For what it brings to the table, I think Asana is fairly affordable. I would like to see the portfolio feature in our pricing plan, but other than that, it's definitely pretty good."
"I can describe Asana's pricing as a sweet spot since it is neither very high nor very low, especially regarding the value Asana adds to its products...In our company, we use 50 percent of the features provided by Asana, because of which we only pay 50 percent of Asana's total cost."
"We're on the business tier, which is $25 a month if you're on an annual contract. It's $31 if you're on a month-to-month contract. In my experience, there are no hidden costs with Asana. I know Smartsheet has these add-ons that you can buy, which is an additional cost, but Asana doesn't have any add-ons that I know of. When you're trying to scale the product and want to add users, you have to do it in buckets of five. This is also something to consider."
"Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses."
"Compared to everything else I have seen, it is very fair."
"I don't know the full scope of our subscriptions for all the modules, but from what I've seen before, it seems fairly expensive. The high cost may drive some potential clients to consider developing a homegrown solution internally if they have a competent finance group."
"It's fairly priced."
"We had a negotiation with them back in March of this year to extend our contract for 1 year. They were willing to work with us to negotiate different terms and a different cost of production. They were asking for a certain percentage increase, and we said that was not acceptable. They were willing to settle on a different number."
