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.

Provides efficiency in metadata storage and implementation
Many applications perform similarly to Hive, offering metadata implementations. I'm looking into their advancements, such as aggregated joins and MBT joins. Hive's virtual implementations are evolving, and tools like Snowflake offer specific use case advancements. In future releases, the Bloomfilter function should be a part of Hive. Windowing functions should also be there. I would also like to see AI implementation.

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."
"Campfire Interactive automates all our data sets compared to the other software."
"The feature I appreciate the most about Campfire Interactive is probably the forecasting module, the way it links to IHS for the IHS forecast."
"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 is much better in terms of the dashboard and reporting."
"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."
"The best features Campfire Interactive offers include the opportunity to have a closed loop system from the start of a quote or opportunity through planning and the end of production on a program."
"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."
"It excels in handling diverse data formats and is particularly beneficial for constructing a data lake for companies with mixed data types, such as videos and structured data."
"It is a good solution for us when it comes to metadata implementation. It's beneficial to have metadata stored in Hive."
 

Cons

"It could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"One of the things I dislike regarding Campfire Interactive is the mass upload feature."
"We still have not seen a return on investment because we are not fully implemented; we are still using two software systems and making the transition probably within the next month, so I cannot say for sure right now as that is still an ongoing process."
"It probably can be better for sure, but as of now, they are adapting to what I need to make my life better."
"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."
"What I dislike about Campfire Interactive is its lack of flexibility."
"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."
"I can complete in Excel in an hour what might take me six hours in Campfire Interactive."
"In future releases, I would also like to see AI implementation."
"For smaller datasets, it may not be as suitable, and its performance might not be optimal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses."
"It is an open-source solution."
