New forecasting process has cut update time in half and gives instant, accurate sales visibility
From my perspective as an admin user, I like the fact that I am able to get data out much quicker and it is much easier to use than SAP. From my colleagues' perspective as actual users and key account managers, they appreciate it because it is much quicker than moving around in SAP. They can copy an opportunity and all that data gets transferred over, allowing them to update it extremely quickly. The rule-based access control of Campfire Interactive is excellent. We set up a bunch of different levels of what they can see. This was really important for GDPR compliance for our European colleagues regarding what data would be allowed to be seen by whom. We could set up access where key account managers are only able to see their relevant forecasts while giving access to a CBU leader who can see all of the people who report into them, and someone like an SVP can see everybody. Having that rule-based permission is really great. The forecast accuracy of Campfire Interactive is good. It is all dependent on the data you put into the system, but there are certainly no issues with FX translation or incorrect data somehow showing up. Whatever data you put in the system is accurately reflected when you pull the report. The biggest advantage I have seen with Campfire Interactive versus our previous system, SAP, is the speed to make an opportunity. Even going through the CPQ process, you can do it much faster having it all in one system. Being able to pull reports as an admin, I can pull reports on when people have made changes, which makes it much easier if someone makes a mistake or if I need to understand why certain data is present. We can go in and look at version history. Monthly we run a locked version so we can very easily compare what has changed month over month if there have been drastic changes. In our previous system, I would have various downloads of SAP and someone would ask me what changed, and I would be looking through my Excel download files trying to find a file with the two projects I could compare. Now, I just go into Campfire Interactive, go to reports, include frozen, and I can select whatever months I want and compare that exact project over multiple times. That is way quicker and way easier to use. I like the functionality of being able to pull reports right from the system, and data accuracy is great.

Useful project management capabilities, beneficial dashboards, but project planning could improve
The areas that should be improved in Planview Daptiv are a subject that can be viewed differently depending on who you ask. I feel they should focus on excelling in one specific area rather than providing average capabilities in many areas. For example, their project planning software is satisfactory but not as advanced as Microsoft Projects. The same goes for the capacity planning tool and reporting capabilities, which can be improved upon by using custom Excel spreadsheets or by hiring a business analyst for additional support. In short, the biggest weakness of Daptiv is that it does not excel in any one area and only provides average performance. In a future release, it would be beneficial to have a undo button.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"What I appreciate most about Campfire Interactive is that it is very easy to update the interface."
"I appreciate that Campfire Interactive has deep integration with SAP, which helps a lot."
"Campfire Interactive has saved us time because the data that we are collecting is the same."
"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."
"Campfire Interactive is going to be a huge success for Gentherm."
"Campfire Interactive allows sales teams to manage forecasting in a more efficient, streamlined way, and the quoting portion flows directly into the sales forecasting, which allows for better data security and data accuracy for our sales forecasting and quote management in my day-to-day work."
"Campfire Interactive automates all our data sets compared to the other software."
"Forecast accuracy in Campfire Interactive has saved time for the team that prepares the forecast."
"I implemented for a large client of mine and saw them quickly get up and running and leverage Daptiv to help them manage their IT demand from their internal customers."
"Daptiv templates give you a world of possibilities, no matter the PMI maturity level the company has."
"It's difficult to pinpoint just one most valuable feature, as there are many features that can be beneficial. For the specific use case of my client's project management office, they found the project management features of the application to be particularly valuable, such as project boards, reporting, and the ability to customize views. Additionally, task management and project scheduling were also highly utilized. However, capacity planning was not used as much as the others, as there was a lack of support from executives to invest in training and implementing it due to a lack of processes in place. The project planning features, dashboard, and reporting capabilities were considered the most valuable."
"The timekeeping features are great and very helpful."
"Changepoint gives us a view of the project status and needs very clearly, which are things that we used to miss with MS Project and Excel."
"The experience with Changepoint has been great considering that most organizations won't use 90% of the application's features."
"Changepoint allowed us to model resource request/assignment workflow in our large PS organization."
"Reporting of IT capacity available for first time, time sheets available for first time."
 

Cons

"I can complete in Excel in an hour what might take me six hours in Campfire Interactive."
"It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"What I dislike about Campfire Interactive is its lack of flexibility."
"The areas of improvement for Campfire Interactive are in cycle plan management, forward model and backlog planning, user interface and usability, records management, price bump chart flexibility, and creation and facilitation of reports management."
"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."
"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."
"Campfire Interactive can be improved as I would like a few things to be more user-friendly."
"Campfire Interactive lacks a built-in interface to manage shipment information, so we have to handle that outside the system."
"The previous solution that we were using was Projector PSA; it was overall a superior product."
"The user interface is quirky and does not always conform to the expected Microsoft UI standards."
"I would say there is too much work that has to go into the configuration up front and for the first 6 months to 1 year after, which costs time, money, and resources, and it is not a very advanced tool and seems interface-wise to be behind the times."
"Accessing some functions is a bit obscure and requires some knowledge of how the product works, but the upgrade from v2012 to 2014 improved that situation and I expect the upcoming upgrade to 2017 to further streamline operations."
"I find the solution has an excessive amount of features. Many aren't even kept current. Some aren't useful at all. There's an overall lack of coherence within the solution. It can make the execution difficult. Many features can easily be eliminated and it would help streamline the solution. They should get rid of 80% of the features and then really focus on the leftover 20% to make it a really great product."
"It would also be nice to see some improvements on the IBM Cognos Analytics. There's still work to be done on the analytics side of things, like your condition formality."
"Limited unless you purchase additional support hours."
"This solution needs more standard connectors to other solutions i.e. to Infor ERP, Confluence, ..."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses."
"It's fairly priced."
"Compared to everything else I have seen, it is very fair."
"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."
"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 a yearly license, but it's not an open license. It's based on users and their roles. So your administrator is priced differently from your timesheet user."
"The licensing is pretty complex. Each kind of user is a different price. It's approximately $300 per year. They charge additional fees for technical support and other additional services."
