Dynamically updates IHS forecast data, but it's complicated and requires numerous improvements
There are numerous things they can do to improve the system, which I have communicated repeatedly. We just had our biweekly meeting with the team. Their customer service can be better. They're responsive when we have an urgent issue, but for a lot of the longer term things, such as adjustments we want made in the system or additions we want to be made, we see little to no progress. I do not prefer the role-based access controls in Campfire Interactive. The role-based system makes sense on paper, but a company such as ours, where people wear multiple hats and different people have multiple roles in some cases, makes it very difficult at times to assign the correct people in the process. I've asked for years to give me, as an admin in the system, the ability to ignore the role and just select the person I want assigned to a task, because the role-based system makes it way more complicated than that. The forecast accuracy of Campfire Interactive is usually good. It has helped us save time and costs. However, we have had issues, and actually are currently having issues where some of the take-rate numbers get messed up. When we load it in an IHS forecast, if a specific program in that forecast has added years, the take rates are not applied to those additional years. It ignores the prior input, which leads to errors and data that is not accurate. 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. The reporting works pretty efficiently, but it can be enhanced by Power BI, which they don't use. It's all Excel-based, which is functional and works. The pricing system, when you get it input, is good, but it is a lot of painful work to get the correct data. I have been working in the system for 3 years. We still have customers where we don't have the dynamic pricing set up, partially because that's our fault; we don't know everything that we should know. It's not entirely on Campfire Interactive, but when we get that information, it can be very difficult to translate it into the Campfire Interactive system and get it calculating properly.

User-friendly interface simplifies project management but it requires stable connectivity
We primarily use monday.com for project management within our department, which includes sales, operations, and engineering monday.com makes it very easy to input any information. The style and format are user-friendly, making it practical for our needs despite some network issues. The need for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The feature I appreciate the most about Campfire Interactive is probably the forecasting module, the way it links to IHS for the IHS forecast."
"The combination Campfire uses for the automotive sector, particularly the IHS forecast, offers unique predictive capabilities."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 is much better in terms of the dashboard and reporting."
"Campfire Interactive’s ability to manage data through business processes and workflows for your organization is good."
"The user experience of Monday.com is exceptional."
"I love the time-tracking feature."
"We love the live updates in real-time for all parties."
"There are a lot of features and once you understand how to use them, it's quite easy to get the benefit out of them."
"It's really helped to streamline communication between our team members as well as our clients."
"We use less paper thanks to this product."
"Dashboards serve as a visual command center, offering a comprehensive overview of project progress, deadlines, and key performance indicators. This visual representation enhances decision-making and facilitates a quick understanding of the project landscape."
"Monday.com is effortless to use. You can customize it to adapt to your needs and work style. The product is beautiful and intuitive, which makes the work enjoyable."
 

Cons

"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."
"Because we use a multitude of modules, some of the interactions from one module to the other are not as seamless or fluid."
"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."
"They occasionally became overwhelmed, leading to slowdowns due to the busy workforce."
"Because we use a multitude of modules, some of the interactions from one module to the other are not as seamless or fluid. I would like to see some more fluidness from one module to the other."
"There are times when we go to execute reports from their system, and the data does not generate as expected."
"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."
"Monday is excellent for collaboration between partners and team members, however, it would be great if there could be a way to have clients on Monday, and not just to share information."
"It does everything we need it to, so no improvements are necessary."
"The Graphic User Interface (GUI) needs improvement."
"They have glitches every once in a while that will put employers in a position to not be able to use the platform."
"I do find the emails too frequent and notifications or inbox for things that aren't tagged for me inconvenient and occasionally confusing."
"A little more customization on the UI would be good."
"The documentation must be available in French."
"Some of the automation is having some technical difficulties."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Compared to everything else I have seen, it is very fair."
"It's fairly priced."
"Campfire Interactive is on the expensive side, with approximately $100,000 to $120,000 in expenses."
"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."
"There are features that they're putting in the Enterprise plan that you have to pay for the Enterprise plan to use those features. The Enterprise plan is probably double or triple the Pro plan price, or it may be two and a half times. From a business standpoint, I don't like the fact that I have to pay two and a half times more to use a particular feature."
"The enterprise plan looks expensive because we don't understand the value as monday.com users. The pro level and other packages seem reasonable."
"The project manager would be responsible for any licensing fees. As an end-user, we just follow suit."
"The product is not expensive."
"I think monday.com's paywalls are a little too high. Some basic features are locked behind the premium subscription. Some applications they offer within their subscription model are locked in an expensive package. These applications provide functionality that would benefit small teams, but it's too much money for a startup or a small business."
"The licensing cost is not that high for monday.com. However, if you need an implementer, the cost is high because there aren't so many monday.com professionals."
"monday.com's pricing is fair compared to its competitors, although it is a bit more expensive than most of them. It's more expensive than Jira, Zoho, ClickUp, and Trello. But it is fairly priced when you compare the kinds of features and the capabilities that you get and the ROI."
"The solution is quite inexpensive. For example, we pay $8,500 for 75 users. It's somewhere around $100 a user, approximately."
